Abstract: An intraocular lens (IOL) delivery system allows for a larger IOL, such as an Accommodating Intraocular Lens and/or a fluid-filled IOL, to be delivered into the capsular bag of an eye through a small incision in the eye in a controlled manner without damaging the eye, the lens, or the incision site. The delivery systems include a syringe-like mechanism that directly or indirectly moves the IOL through a cartridge. Various mechanisms of inserting the IOL are described, including guiding the IOL into the eye's capsular bag, or conveying the IOL into the eye's capsular bag.

Abstract: An accommodating intraocular (AIOL) lens is configured to provide an amount of accommodation to allow a continuous range of vision that imitates the healthy human crystalline lens. The AIOL configuration include both filled and unfilled lens bodies with non-uniform external anterior surfaces. In embodiments, the AIOL includes a shell body and a filler material disposed within the shell body, wherein the thickness of either the anterior wall or posterior wall is non-uniform. In other embodiments, the AIOL includes a pliable lens body of an optically clear copolymer defined by an anterior surface and a posterior surface, wherein one of the anterior surface or posterior surfaces characterized by a discontinuity in the optical surface.

Abstract: An IOL is disclosed that includes an anterior surface and a posterior surface disposed about an optical axis, where the posterior surface includes a central region extending to a peripheral region. Once the IOL is implanted in a patient's eye, the anterior surface and the central region of the posterior surface cooperatively form an image of a field of view on the retina and the peripheral region of the posterior surface directs at least some light rays incident thereon (e.g., via refraction by the anterior surface) to at least one retinal location offset from the image so as to inhibit dysphotopsia.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provide an ophthalmic lens (e.g., an IOL) that includes an optic having an anterior optical surface and a posterior optical surface, where the optic provides an optical power in a range of about 16 D to about 25 D as measured in a medium having an index of refraction substantially similar to that of the eye's aqueous humor (e.g., about 1.336). At least one of the optical 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 the power range.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ophthalmic lens (e.g., an intraocular lens) having an optic with an anterior surface and a posterior surface, which exhibits a shape factor (defined as a ratio of the sum of the anterior and posterior curvatures to the difference of such curvatures) in a range of about ?0.5 to about 4. In a related aspect, the shape factor of the optic lies in a range of about 0 to about 2. The above shape factors give rise to a plurality of different lens shapes, such as concave-convex, plano-convex and plano-concave.
