Intraocular lens

An ophthalmic lens, comprising

• an optic having an anterior surface and a posterior surface, said optic providing an optical power in a range of about 16 D to about 25 D, said optic having a principal plane exhibiting an offset change in a range of about −0.019 mm to about +0.018 mm from a selected plane of said optic,
• wherein at least one of said surfaces is characterized by an aspherical base profile such that the optic exhibits a negative spherical aberration in a range of about −0.202 microns to about −0.190 microns across said power range.

An ophthalmic lens, comprising

• an optic having an anterior surface and a posterior surface, said optic providing a nominal optical power in a range of about 16 D to about 25 D,
• wherein at least one of said surfaces exhibits an aspheric base profile to provide a negative spherical aberration for countering, upon implantation in the eye, a positive spherical aberration of the cornea such that an optical system comprising the lens and cornea exhibits a residual positive spherical aberration less than about +0.14 microns.
