Intraocular lens platform having improved haptic force distribution

An ophthalmic lens, comprising

• an optic comprising an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and an optic edge extending between the anterior surface and the posterior surface, the optic having an optical axis;
• and
• a haptic extending from a periphery of the optic, the haptic comprising a gusset region, a distal region, and an elbow region connecting the gusset region to the distal region, wherein:
• the gusset region of the haptic extends from the periphery of the optic and spans a portion of the periphery of the optic;
• the gusset region of the haptic linearly increases in thickness with increased distance from the periphery of the optic;
• and
• the distal region of the haptic linearly decreases in thickness with increased distance from the optical axis over at least a portion of the distal region.

• and
• a haptic extending from a periphery of the optic and comprising an anterior haptic surface and a posterior haptic surface, wherein, for at least a portion of the haptic a width of the posterior haptic surface is greater than a width of the anterior haptic surface, the haptic further comprising a gusset region, a distal region, and an elbow region connecting the gusset region to the distal region, wherein:
• the gusset region of the haptic extends from the periphery of the optic and spans a portion of the periphery of the optic;
• the gusset region of the haptic non-linearly increases in thickness with increased distance from the periphery of the optic;
• and
• the distal region of the haptic decreases in thickness with increased distance from the elbow region over at least a portion of the distal region.
