Abstract
An apparatus, such as lenses, a system and a method for providing custom ocular aberrations that provide higher visual acuity. The apparatus, system and method include inducing rotationally symmetric aberrations along with an add power in one eye and inducing non-rotationally symmetric aberrations along with an add power in the other eye to provide improved visual acuity at an intermediate distance.
Claims14
A method of treating a patient comprising:
- inducing rotationally symmetric aberrations in a first eye of a patient;
- and
- inducing non-rotationally symmetric aberrations in a second eye of a patient;
- wherein the combination of aberrations in the first and second eyes enhance acuity at an intermediate distance.
The method of claim 8, wherein the laser pulses have a duration of less than 1 picosecond.
A pair of intraocular lenses comprising:
- a first intraocular lens including rotationally symmetric aberrations;
- and
- a second intraocular lens including non-rotationally symmetric aberrations;
- wherein the combination of aberrations in the first and second intraocular lenses cooperate to improve intermediate vision when implanted in the eyes of a patient.
The pair of lenses of claim 12, wherein the first lens includes a symmetrical multifocal intraocular lens and the second lens includes an asymmetrical multifocal lens.
The pair of lenses of claim 12, wherein the first lens includes a symmetrical multifocal intraocular lens and the second lens includes an asymmetrical monofocal lens.
