The present invention relates to micro-/nanostructured compound-eye arrays and fabrication method thereof, and discloses a fabrication method and applications for the molded polymer parts with the micro-/nanostructured compound-eye arrays on their surfaces, which exhibit both hydrophobicity and light trapping. The fabrication method for the molded polymer parts with the micro-/nanostructured compound-eye arrays includes following steps. A flexible microlens array template is assembled; the flexible microlens array template is fixed on an injection mold cavity, and a polymer part with microlens arrays distributing on its surface is molded by using injection molding; the microlens arrays on the molded polymer part are imprinted onto the surface of an ultra-pure aluminum foil, nanopores are formed on its surface via anode oxidation, and so an aluminum template with negative micro-/nanostructured compound-eye arrays is fabricated; the aluminum template is fixed on an injection mold cavity, and a polymer part with micro-/nanostructured compound-eye arrays distributing on its surface is molded by using injection molding. The dual-level compound-eye arrays (orderly distributed convex semi-sphere microlens and densely distributed nanopillars) are developed on the surface of the molded polymer part, which exhibits both hydrophobicity and light trapping.

The invention provides a method wherein 3D printed layers are stacked, but wherein at one or more positions one layer is shifted sideways relative to the other. It looks like a (small) excursion. Hence, the one layer deviates sideways from the layer below and returns back on the layer below. This may be over a relatively small length. The excursion is chosen such, that there is an opening between the lower layer and the layer that deviates sideways. In this way, a 3D printed item comprising a stack of layers may have (physical) openings, which allow transmission of light. In general, the layer height of the layers is not adapted. The deviations or excursions may be provided in a regular way. This provides a 3D printed with a regular arrangement of openings Note that not each layer of the 3D printed item necessarily includes such deviations or excursions.

Intraocular implants and methods of making intraocular implants are provided. The intraocular implant can include a lens body having a lens material and a mask having a mask material. The lens body can be secured to the mask. The mask material can include a modulus of elasticity that is greater than or equal to a modulus of elasticity of the lens material.

An optical element includes a first substrate having a first surface, a resin member disposed on the first surface, and a second substrate disposed above the resin member with a joining member interposed therebetween. The resin member has a first region contacting the joining member and a second region surrounding the first region and not contacting the joining member. An inclined portion having a thickness increasing from a starting point located in the second region toward an outer circumference of the resin member, is disposed in the second region. A tangent of the first surface, orthogonal to a normal of the first surface passing through the starting point, and a straight line passing through the starting point and a point at which the inclined portion has a largest thickness, form an angle of 25° or more and 45° or less.
