Abstract: Provided is an intraocular lens including a lens body having a back surface disposed on a retinal side and a front surface disposed on a corneal side, wherein an entire back surface is shaped in such a way as to protrude from a peripheral edge of the back surface toward the retinal side in a direction of an optical axis, in a shape of a truncated cone, and the front surface has any of the following shapes (i) to (iii); (i) the front surface is shaped in such a way as to start to be recessed toward the retinal side in the direction of the optical axis when viewed toward a center from a peripheral edge of the front surface, (ii) the front surface is shaped in such a way that an initial part from the peripheral edge of the front surface toward the center is flat, (iii) the front surface is shaped in such a way as to start to protrude toward the corneal side in the direction of the optical axis when viewed toward the center from the peripheral edge of the front surface, but a rate of rise of a protrusion from

Abstract: Provided are an intraocular lens and a technique associated therewith, wherein an average value (exceeding 0 D) of base difference values within a first region from a lens center O to a position r1 of a first boundary is greater than 5 times an average value (exceeding 0 D) of base difference values within the first region from a lens center O of a virtual spherical lens having a base power at the lens center O to the position r1, a second region has a power resulting from adding one or more positive constant powers to a reference aspheric power, in a third region, the power is reduced so as to provide a negative longitudinal spherical aberration that cancels at least part of a positive longitudinal spherical aberration caused by a cornea, and a second step value is greater than a first step value.

Abstract: Ocular implant insertion apparatus configured for screw-type and push-type operation and associated methods. Such insertion apparatus includes a main body defining a longitudinal axis and a plunger, movable relative to the main body, including a rod portion and an operational portion rotatably mounted on the rod portion. One of the main body and the plunger operational portion includes a helical slot and at least one longitudinally extending clearance groove that intersects the helical slot and the other of the main body and the operational portion includes at least one protrusion that is sized and shaped to fit within the helical slot and within the at least one longitudinally extending clearance groove.

Abstract: An intraocular lens in which deterioration in contrast is suppressed even when the optical axis of the intraocular lens is decentered from the optical axis of the eyeball when the intraocular lens is inserted into the eye while the advantage of a conventional aberration reduction type intraocular lens that the image is seen clearly is sustained by employing such a power distribution as respectively having at least one positive power deviation region (E1) having a power larger than that represented by the reference power distribution and at least one negative power deviation region (E2) having a power smaller than that represented by the reference power distribution in the central region of the intraocular lens assuming that a power distribution being set to cancel the spherical aberration of cornea when the intraocular lens is inserted into the eye is the reference power distribution.
