Abstract: An intraocular lens has a monofocal lens body that defines a focal length and is configured to add more higher order aberration (HOA) to an eye than a spherical IOL with the same focal length. The lens body defines an optical center, an outer edge, a first region that extends from the optical center to a radius between the outer edge and the optical center, and a second region located radially outward of the first region. The second region is configured to reduce the longitudinal HOA that would otherwise occur in low light conditions. The lens body may be configured to create a higher order aberration to normalized radial distance ratio (HOA-NRD ratio) profile that increases in slope as NRD increases within at least a portion of the first region and does not increase in slope as NRD increases within at least a portion of the second region. The HOA may be a spherical aberration, trefoil or coma.

Abstract: A method improves depth of focus in a first eye only by adding a higher order aberration (HOA) to the first eye by adding a monofocal optical device to the first eye. The method may also correct a spherical aberration in a second eye by inserting a monofocal aspheric IOL. The HOA added to the first eye may be selected from the group consisting of spherical, trefoil and coma. Additionally, the monofocal optical device inserted into the first eye may comprise a monofocal aspheric IOL that adds spherical aberration to the first eye. The optical device inserted into the first eye may comprise a 20 D monofocal aspheric IOL that adds 0.4 ?m of spherical aberration to the first eye at 6 mm entrance pupil and adds 0.1 ?m of spherical aberration to the first eye at 4 mm entrance pupil.

Abstract: A wide range depth of focus vortex IOL or other optical device or element and processes for manufacturing same.

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.
