The transposable IOL also includes a haptic portion configured to support the transposable IOL whether in a first orientation of implantation in a patient’s eye or in a transposed second orientation of implantation in the patient’s eye.

An apparatus has a central lens body for providing vision correction for a patient. The lens body has a central aperture and is configured as one of: a diffractive lens or a refractive lens. The lens body has at least one haptic extending from the lens body, and the central aperture has a form of a circular hole extending fully through the lens body when the apparatus is implanted in the eye. The lens body is formed from a substantially transparent material and the central aperture includes a darkened perimeter. The darkened perimeter of the central aperture includes a darkened internal wall extending through the lens body from an anterior surface to a posterior surface of the lens body.

A prosthetic capsular device configured to be inserted in an eye after removal of a lens, in some embodiments, can comprise a housing structure comprising capable of containing an intraocular device and an equiconvex refractive surface. The housing structure can comprise an anterior portion comprising an anterior opening, a posterior portion comprising a posterior opening, and a continuous lateral portion between the anterior portion and the posterior portion.

A lens including a flexible refractive optic having a fixed refractive index, an electro-active element embedded within the flexible refractive optic, wherein the electro-active element has an alterable refractive index, and a controller electrically connected to the electro-active element wherein when power is applied thereto the refractive index of the electro-active element is altered.

An intraocular lens comprising: an optic zone; and a control zone positioned peripherally relative to the optic zone and configured to reduce, minimize, and/or eliminate negative peripheral pseudophakic dysphotopsia (PPD).

A computer-implemented method for recognizing deviations from plan parameters during an ophthalmological operation is described, the method including: providing video sequences of cataract operations, the video sequences having been recorded by means of an image recording apparatus, training a machine learning system using the video sequences provided and also, in each case, a planned refractive power of an intraocular lens to be inserted during a cataract operation and a target refraction value following the cataract operation as training input data and associated prediction results in the form of an actual refraction value following the cataract operation to form a machine learning model for predicting the actual refraction value following the cataract operation, and persistently storing parameter values of the trained machine learning system.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for reducing dysphotopsia effects, such as haloes and glare. Exemplary ophthalmic lenses may include a central zone with a first set of two echelettes arranged around the optical axis, the first set having a profile in r-squared space. A middle zone includes a second set of two echelettes arranged around the optical axis, the second set having a profile in r-squared space that is different than the profile of the first set. A peripheral zone includes a third set of two echelettes arranged around the optical axis, the third set having a profile in r-squared space that is different than the profile of the first set and the profile of the second set, the third set being repeated in series on the peripheral zone.

Systems and methods for improving vision of a subject implanted with an intraocular lens (IOL). In some embodiments, a method includes determining at least one photic phenomenon experienced by the subject after implantation of the IOL; and applying a plurality of laser pulses to the IOL, the laser pulses being configured to produce, by refractive index writing on the IOL, a phase shift in the IOL to compensate for the photic phenomenon.

Ophthalmic lenses and related methods employ subsurface optical structures with enhanced refractive index distributions. An ophthalmic lens includes a lens body and a subsurface optical structure within the lens body. Sub-volumes of the optical structure have refractive indexes that vary spatially between a first limit refractive index for the optical structure and a second limit refractive index for the optical structure. The refractive indexes are equal to the first limit refractive index for the optical structure over a first section of the optical structure. The refractive indexes are equal to the second limit refractive index for the optical structure over a second section of the optical structure.

The present disclosure describes optical devices and methods for manufacturing such optical devices. Namely, an example optical device includes a first optical transparent thermoplastic layer, a second optical transparent thermoplastic layer, and in between both thermoplastic layers, a diffractive optical element adjacent to one thermoplastic layer, a spacer in between the diffractive optical element and the other thermoplastic layer and, a border enclosing the diffractive element thereby forming a sealed cavity.
