Abstract
Intraocular implants and methods of making intraocular implants are disclosed. The intraocular implant can include a mask adapted to increase depth of focus. The method of manufacturing the implant can include filling an annular mask-forming trough with an opaque mask material and adding an optically transmissive optic material over the opaque mask material.
Claims16
A method of manufacturing an intraocular lens, the method comprising:
- filling an annular mask-forming feature in a partially-formed optic with an opaque mask material;
- adding optically transmissive optic material over the opaque mask material;
- and
- fully curing the opaque mask material and the optically transmissive optic material to form a mask and an optic, the mask being sufficient to prevent transmission of at least 90% of incident visible light.
