Abstract
A multifocal intraocular lens has an anterior lens surface which includes a first optic of a first radius and a second optic of a different radius. The posterior surface of the lens include an aspheric surface.
Claims19
A multifocal lens comprising:
- a posterior aspheric lens surface having a first radius of curvature
- an anterior aspheric lens surface, said anterior aspheric lens surface having a first aspheric distance optic portion having a radius of curvature equal to the first radius of curvature of the posterior lens surface and
- a second near optic portion having a radius of curvature less than that of the first portion thereby forming a second optic surface on the anterior lens surface, the second near optic portion having an outer perimeter, and
- a flat surface extending outwardly from the entire radially outer perimeter of the anterior lens near optic portion.
