Abstract: Accommodating intraocular lenses including an optic having an anterior element and a posterior element defining an optic fluid chamber, wherein the optic is aspheric across all powers throughout accommodation or disaccommodation. Intraocular lenses, optionally accommodating, where an optic portion is centered with a midline of a height of the peripheral portion, the height measured in the anterior to posterior direction.

Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens includes an optic portion a haptic portion and a backstop. The optic portion of the lens includes an actuator that deflects a lens element to alter the optical power of the lens responsive to forces applied to the haptic portion of the lens by contraction of the ciliary muscles. Forces applied to the haptic portion may result in fluid displacements from or to the haptic portion from the actuator. The backstop provides support to the haptic so that bulk translation of the haptic is prevented in response to the forces applied by the capsular sac.

Abstract: Accommodating intraocular lenses and methods of use. The accommodating intraocular lenses include peripheral regions that are adapted to be more responsive to certain types of forces than to other types of forces. For example, the accommodating intraocular lenses can include haptics that are stiffer in an anterior-to-posterior direction than in a radial direction.

Abstract: Methods of adjusting an intraocular lens after implantation. In some embodiments the methods include positioning an accommodating intraocular lens within an eye, the intraocular lens comprising an optic portion in fluid communication with a peripheral chamber, wherein movement of a fluid between the peripheral chamber and the optic portion in response to ciliary muscle movement changes the optical power of the lens, and reducing a power of the intraocular lens by causing the fluid to move between the optic portion and the peripheral chamber, wherein the reduction in power of the intraocular lens is not in response to ciliary muscle movement, and wherein the positioning step occurs prior to reducing the power.
