Abstract
Intraocular lenses are provided that include corrections for higher order aberrations. The intraocular lenses may include one or more positioning indicia on the lens or haptic portions. Methods of implanting intraocular lenses are provided comprising aligning laser positioning spots with the positioning indicia. Systems for implanting intraocular lenses comprise an eye tracker and a laser spot generator. Method of making intraocular lenses include incorporating higher order aberration corrections into a layer applied to a lens. The layer may include the positioning indicia.
Claims19
An intraocular lens comprising:
- an optic portion;
- and
- a haptic portion;
- wherein the optic portion comprises corrections for higher order aberrations, wherein the corrections are derived at least in part from an aberration map of an anterior corneal surface of a subject, and wherein the corrections comprise corrections for one or more 3rd or 4th order corneal higher order aberrations selected from trefoil, coma, quadrafoil, and higher order astigmatism that are present in the aberration map.
11-36. (canceled)
A system for surgically implanting an intraocular lens comprising:
- a surgical viewer;
- an eye tracker;
- and
- a laser that is coordinated with the eye tracker and configured to inject a laser beam into an intraoperative optical viewing path to create a laser spot on the cornea while implanting the intraocular lens;
- wherein the laser is configured to receive information regarding a desired location of a portion of an intraocular lens with respect to an anterior corneal surface of a surgical subject;
- and
- wherein the desired location aligns higher order aberration corrections in the intraocular lens with higher order aberrations present on the surface of the cornea.
42-45. (canceled)
A system for surgically implanting an intraocular lens into an eye of a subject, the system comprising:
- a surgical viewer;
- and
- a wavefront aberrometer, wherein the wavefront aberrometer comprises a display configured to display optical aberrations of the eye of the subject during a surgical procedure while the intraocular lens is manipulated during and after the implanting.
