Abstract
Improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs). Examples may include lenses configured to have optical performance that varies in response to an accommodative stimulus.
Claims30
An apparatus comprising:
- an intraocular lens for implantation within an eye, the intraocular lens configured to produce varied optical characteristics in response to a stimulus, the intraocular lens configured to comprise a monofocal lens when the eye is configured for distance vision and configured to change a depth of focus or range of vision in response to a stimulus with less than a 1 diopter change of dioptric power of the eye, wherein the depth of focus or range of vision is caused in part by diffraction.
An apparatus comprising:
- an intraocular lens for implantation within an eye, the intraocular lens configured to produce varied optical characteristics in response to a stimulus, the intraocular lens configured to comprise a monofocal lens when the eye is configured for distance vision and configured to change a depth of focus or range of vision in response to a stimulus with less than a 1.3 diopter change of dioptric base power of the eye, wherein the depth of focus or range of vision is caused in part by diffraction.
An apparatus comprising:
- an intraocular lens for implantation within an eye, the intraocular lens configured to produce varied optical characteristics in response to a stimulus, the variation generated by a deformation of a material having gradient stiffness.
An apparatus comprising:
- an intraocular lens for implantation within an eye, the intraocular lens configured to produce varied optical characteristics in response to a stimulus, the variation generated by a deformation of a diffractive profile on a material having gradient stiffness.
