The invention relates to an artificial eye lens comprising an optical part, which has a first optical side as viewed in a direction of an optical principal axis of the artificial eye lens and an opposite second optical side, wherein a structure with at least one depression is formed in a haptic arrangement of the artificial eye lens and/or in a surround that surrounds the optical part at least in certain areas and that differs from the haptic arrangement, wherein the structure is formed as a micro-perforation with a multiplicity of perforation zones and at least some perforation zones are filled at least in certain areas with at least one medicament for the purposes of producing a medicament repository. The invention also relates to a method for producing such an artificial eye lens.

A method for making ophthalmic devices includes direct compression molding one or more ophthalmic device forming polymers in a mold to form ophthalmic devices.

A flexible intraocular lens including a reinforcing layer disposed on a sidewall of the intraocular lens is described. An example flexible intraocular lens includes a lens body and a reinforcing layer disposed thereon.

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.

Embodiments of a modulable absorption light adjustable lens (MALAL) comprise a light adjustable lens that is capable of changing its optical properties upon an adjusting irradiation, including a photo-modifiable material; and a modulable absorption front protection layer, including a modulable absorption compound whose absorption properties can be modulated with a modulating stimulus. Other embodiments include a method of adjusting an optical property of a modulable absorption light adjustable lens, the method comprising: reducing an absorption of a modulable absorption compound of a modulable absorption front protection layer of the MALAL by a modulating stimulus, the MALAL having been previously implanted into an eye; and changing an optical property of a light adjustable lens of the MALAL by applying an adjusting irradiation.

Embodiments of the invention described herein thus provide implants and methods for manufacturing an implant having an outer cortical layer that is porous. The porous outer cortical layer can help encourage tissue ingrowth into the implant. The porous outer cortical layer may be positioned around a core structure this is solid or that has a hollow interior. The core structure may be spherical or any other appropriate shape for a medical implant.

Intraocular pressure sensors, systems, and methods of use. Implantable intraocular pressure sensing devices that are hermetically sealed and adapted to wirelessly communicate with an external device. The implantable devices can include a hermetically sealed housing, the hermetically sealed housing including therein: an antenna in electrical communication with a rechargeable power source, the rechargeable power source in electrical communication with an ASIC, and the ASIC in electrical communication with a pressure sensor.

Methods of implanting corneal inlays, such as small diameter corneal inlays. The inlays may be adapted to change the corneal surface curvature to provide central near vision and peripheral distance vision.

Ophthalmic lenses and methods of manufacture thereof are disclosed. The ophthalmic lenses include metasurface features that define a metasurface array on a lens body. The metasurface array can be tuned to modify an optical property, such as glare reduction, of the ophthalmic lens using an arrangement of metasurface building elements dimensioned from an optical wavelength, including being dimensioned smaller than an optical wavelength. The ophthalmic lenses can be subject to physical manipulation, including rolling or other folding during an installation procedure, and as such, the modified optical property induced by the metasurface array can be maintained after such manipulation. The ophthalmic lenses can be formed using a molding process, in which the metasurface array is associated with a non-solid material and formed into a lens shape with the material.
