  • Patent number: 11458011
    Abstract: A system and method of customizing at least one characteristic for an intraocular lens include includes measuring at least one biometric parameter of an eye simulating a corneal spherical aberration and an anterior chamber depth of the eye, and empirically calculating a post-operative spherical aberration at an iris or pupil plane of the eye, based on a regression formula including the corneal spherical aberration, the anterior chamber depth, and the biometric parameter(s), in order to obtain a desired postoperative condition.

  • Patent number: 10390939
    Abstract: An intraocular lens that is capable of being inserted through a micro-incision includes an optic having an anterior and a posterior surface and a plurality of projections extending from the anterior and posterior surfaces. The anterior and posterior surfaces include a recess. The optic is implanted such that a rim of the capsulorhexis is disposed in the recess such that the plurality of projections grip the capsular bag.

  • Publication number: 20190117380
    Abstract: The present invention includes at least an intraocular lens, and a system and method of customizing at least one characteristic for an intraocular lens, in accordance with a regression that indicates the postoperative spherical aberration at the iris plane of a patient aphakic eye, in order to obtain a desired postoperative condition. The lens, system and method of customizing at least one characteristic of an intraocular lens may include measuring at least one biometric parameter of an eye at a desired light level, determining a desired postoperative condition of the eye, obtaining a corneal spherical aberration and an anterior chamber depth of the eye, and empirically calculating a spherical aberration at an iris or pupil plane of the eye, based on a regression formula comprising at least the corneal spherical aberration and the anterior chamber depth, and cross products thereof.
