  • Publication number: 20250134649
    Abstract: An intraocular lens (IOL) configured to support a first optic for functioning as a single lens IOL and configured to support a second optic for functioning as a dual optic IOL. The base includes a first optic for providing a base power. A recess in an anterior rim of the base is configured for positioning a radial extension of a second optic. The geometry of the recess is configured to securely couple to the radial extension to prevent rotation of the second optic relative to the base and prevent tilting of the second optic relative to an optic axis.

  • Publication number: 20220192820
    Abstract: An ophthalmic lens may comprise a posterior optic surface and an anterior optic surface, which may comprise a central optic, a peripheral optic, and a capsule rim separating the central optic and the peripheral optic. An optic edge may couple the posterior optic surface to the peripheral optic. The capsule rim may be symmetric or asymmetric in various embodiments. In more particular embodiments, the capsule rim may form a surface at an angle of at least ninety (90) degrees to the peripheral optic. In some embodiments, the central optic may comprise an optic axis, and the capsule rim may form a surface that is substantially parallel to the optic axis.
