Abstract: Embodiments of a modulable absorption light adjustable lens (MALAL) comprise a light adjustable lens that is capable of changing its optical properties upon an adjusting irradiation, including a photo-modifiable material; and a modulable absorption front protection layer, including a modulable absorption compound whose absorption properties can be modulated with a modulating stimulus. Other embodiments include a method of adjusting an optical property of a modulable absorption light adjustable lens, the method comprising: reducing an absorption of a modulable absorption compound of a modulable absorption front protection layer of the MALAL by a modulating stimulus, the MALAL having been previously implanted into an eye; and changing an optical property of a light adjustable lens of the MALAL by applying an adjusting irradiation.

Abstract: A composite light adjustable intraocular lens can include an acrylic intraocular insert; a silicone-based light adjustable lens, attached to the acrylic intraocular insert with an adhesion promoter; and haptics; wherein the adhesion promoter includes a first orthogonal functional group, configured to bond with an acrylic component of the acrylic intraocular insert; and a second orthogonal functional group, configured to bond with a silicone component of the silicone-based light adjustable lens.

Abstract: A composite light adjustable intraocular lens comprises an acrylic diffractive intraocular lens, having a diffractive structure and haptics; and a silicone light adjustable lens, attached to the acrylic diffractive intraocular lens. The diffractive structure produces constructive interference in at least four consecutive diffractive orders corresponding a range of vision between near and distance vision, wherein the constructive interference produces a near focal point, a distance focal point corresponding to the base power of the ophthalmic lens, and an intermediate focal point between the near focal point and the distance focal point and wherein a diffraction efficiency of at least one of the diffractive orders is suppressed to less than ten percent.

Abstract: A composite light adjustable intraocular lens, can include an intraocular lens (IOL), a light adjustable lens, attached to the intraocular lens, and haptics. In some cases, a composite light adjustable intraocular lens can include an intraocular lens, and haptics, attached to the IOL with light-adjustable hinges. A method of adjusting an implanted composite light adjustable intraocular lens can include planning a targeted optical outcome of an implantation of the composite light adjustable intraocular lens into an eye; implanting, the composite light adjustable intraocular lens into the eye; performing a diagnostic measurement to evaluate an implanted optical outcome of the implantation; determining a correction based on a comparison of the planned optical outcome and the implanted optical outcome; and applying a stimulus to adjust an optical characteristic of the composite light adjustable intraocular lens to induce the determined correction.
