Abstract: An intraocular lens system for correcting vision in the eye, including a first lens adapted to be inserted into the eye substantially along the main optical axis and a second lens adapted to be inserted into the eye substantially along the main optical axis, spaced from and in series with the first lens, such that the first and second lenses form a teledioptic lens system.

Abstract: A method of correcting refractive error in an eye, comprising the steps of marking at least one axis on the surface of the cornea. A portion of the cornea is then separated, forming a first anterior facing surface and a second posterior facing surface. An inlay having at least one axis indicated on the surface thereof is positioned between the first and second surfaces, and the at least one axis on the inlay is aligned with the at least one axis on the surface of the cornea. This results in precise positioning and orientation of the inlay and thus correction of astigmatic error in the cornea.

Abstract: A lens system for variable refraction comprising a solid housing having a single internal chamber completely filled with a plurality of imiscible liquids of preselected densities and refractive indices. The chamber is of a form such that the amount and distribution of each liquid in the optical portion of the system is altered when the system is tilted, producing a change in refractive power. The system may be incorporated into spectacle lenses or contact lenses to provide a continuous spectrum of refractive power, or into contact lenses to provide bifocal capability.
