A method and assembly for removing an intraocular lens from an injection molded mold half. With the method and the assembly, first spill ring material is removed from the mold half. Subsequently, the mold/lens-assembly is subjected to an oscillating mechanical load without substantial deformation of at least a part of the mold half that is in direct contact with the lens body. The oscillating mechanical load has an oscillation frequency which is in a range that excites the mold/lens-assembly to break bonds between the intraocular lens and the mold half. After that, a static mechanical push force is exerted on the bottom side of the mold half to at least partly separate the intraocular lens from the mold half.

Disclosed are methods, systems, and apparatus for manufacturing an ophthalmic lens component. In one embodiment, a method includes placing at least part of a soluble core component on a first molding surface of a first mold component or a second molding surface of a second mold component, mating the second mold component to the first mold component to form an assembled mold comprising a mold cavity, introducing a lens component material into the mold cavity, curing the lens component material within the assembled mold to form a molded lens component, and immersing the molded lens component in a solvent to dissolve the soluble core component. At least one of the first mold component and the second mold component can also be made of a soluble material.

The invention relates to a method for producing an intraocular lens, including the steps of providing a container which is transparent to electromagnetic radiation and in which a liquid that is curable by the electromagnetic radiation is arranged; irradiating the liquid with a set of images formed by the electromagnetic radiation, which each depict an intraocular lens, with each of the images of the set being radiated into the liquid at a different angle of incidence with respect to a reference plane that extends through the liquid, as a result of which the liquid is cured and the cured liquid forms the intraocular lens, an actuator, a solar module and/or a sensor being arranged in the liquid and the intraocular lens being formed around the actuator, the solar module and/or the sensor.

Intraocular implants and methods of forming intraocular implants are described herein. The intraocular implant can include a powered optic and a lens holder. The optic can be mechanically coupled to an inner periphery of the lens holder to form the intraocular implant. A portion of the lens holder can include a mask disposed about the optic to increase depth of focus in a human patient.

A hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) with excellent non-glistening characteristics, high Abbe number, excellent mechanical properties comprising at least one copolymer comprising: (a) a first monomeric subunit comprising a polymerized (meth)acrylate group and at least one alkoxyalkoxyalkyl side group, (b) a second monomeric subunit different from the first monomeric subunit comprising a polymerized (meth)acrylate group, at least one side group comprising (i) an aryloxy moiety with at least one halogen, and (ii) an aliphatic carbon moiety linking the aryloxy moiety with the polymerized (meth)acrylate group, wherein the aliphatic carbon moiety comprises at least one hydroxyl substituent.

Provided is a biodegradable ocular implant for sustained drug delivery, including a first layer comprising a first biodegradable polymer, wherein the first layer contains a drug dispersed or dissolved therein. A multi-layered biodegradable ocular implant is also disclosed.

A method of altering a refractive property of a crosslinked acrylic polymer material by irradiating the material with a high energy pulsed laser beam to change its refractive index. The method is used to alter the refractive property, and hence the optical power, of an implantable intraocular lens after implantation in the patient's eye. In some examples, the wavelength of the laser beam is in the far red and near IR range and the light is absorbed by the crosslinked acrylic polymer via two-photon absorption at high laser pulse energy. The method also includes designing laser beam scan patterns that compensate for effects of multiphone absorption such as a shift in the depth of the laser pulse absorption location, and compensate for effects caused by high laser pulse energy such as thermal lensing. The method can be used to form a Fresnel lens in the optical zone.

This document describes intraocular lenses and methods for their use. For example, this document describes intraocular lenses that are shaped with a concave posterior peripheral portion that mitigates occurrences of dysphotopsia. The intraocular lenses described herein are designed to reduce positive and negative dysphotopsias after cataract surgery.

Provided is an intraocular lens having a novel structure with high utility which is easy to adapt to patients, and can improve quality of vision (QOV). In an intraocular lens, an optical characteristic is set rotationally symmetric around an optical axis, and a spherical aberration of a size corresponding to a coma aberration remaining in a patient's eye after extraction of a human lens of the eye is set.
