Abstract: An intraocular lens comprises an optic and at least two haptics, each of which comprises a step feature that protrudes from a posterior surface of the haptic to prevent posterior capsular opacification.

Abstract: A composite ophthalmic device comprising an ophthalmic structure, means or lens having a photo-shifting material deployed thereon or therewithin so as to up-shift or down-shift the amplitude, wavelength (or both) of incident radiation into the visible wavelength range.

Abstract: An intraocular lens comprises an optic and at least two haptics. Each haptic is offset in an anterior direction from a central optic plane of the optic. The offset allows for predictable posterior vaulting upon implantation.

Abstract: A method of optical lens blank holding on a chuck using vacuum pressure to easily load and unload, and accurately and repeatedly position blanks concentrically with the axis of rotation of the chuck.

Abstract: Described are ocular devices such as intraocular lens preferably made of an organic polymeric material and an ultraviolet light absorber coated with a polarizing polymer component adjacent the edge thereof. A typical polarizing component is polyvinyl alcohol doped with iodine (PVA/I2). The ocular device with an added polarizing component is capable of absorbing light parallel to the axis of the polymer chain, while transmitting light that is perpendicular to the axis of the polymer chains. The polarizing component will reduce polarized light radiating off of horizontal surfaces; therefore, the film will improve vision through the device by reducing glare from light sources.
