The intraocular aberration correction lens is shaped by an optical area that has a gradient in the chromatic dispersion value of the material or materials that shape it, in such way that said gradient is parallel to the optical axis. The net value of the chromatic dispersion in the anterior area of the lens is different from the value in its posterior area. For this, the use of a single material or various is possible. The anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens, as well as the separation between adjacent materials, if applicable, have a geometric shape so that the group comprising the intraocular lens and the eye that contains it display a correction, or significant reduction, of the optical aberrations, both the chromatic ones and the monochromatic ones on and outside the optical axis. The lens can be given areas with different optical powers in a way that enables clear and simultaneous vision at different distances.
Intraocular aberration correction lens that comprises mechanical fasteners (26, 27), for its implanting in the lens inside the eye, characterised in that its optical area (1) comprises at least one that makes said optical area (1) present a gradient in the chromatic dispersion in the direction ofthe optical axis (7) of the eye, the effective value of the chromatic dispersion being different in the anterior area (3) of the lens, which is the area most proximate to the cornea of the eye after the lens implantation, from that in the posterior area (5) of the lens, which is the area most proximate to the retina of the eye after the lens implantation.
Intraocular abberration correction lens according to claims, wherein the mechanical fasteners (26, 27) can be made of PMMA, polypropylene, polyamide, vinylidene poly fluoride, or combinations thereof.
