    Abstract: A method and system provide an ophthalmic device. The ophthalmic device includes an ophthalmic lens having anterior surface, a posterior surface and at least one diffractive structure including a plurality of zones. The at least one diffractive structure is for at least one of the anterior surface and the posterior surface. Each zone includes at least one echelette having a least one step height. The step height(s) are individually optimized for each zone. To compensate chromatic aberration of eye from distance to a range of vision, a greater than 2π phase step height may be employed and the step height(s) folded by a phase, which is an integer multiple of two multiplied by π. Hence chromatic aberration of eye may be compensated to improve vision from distance to near.

    Abstract: Provided in this document are examples of a multifocal ophthalmic lens. The lens includes a base lens having a base curvature corresponding to a base power; and a diffractive structure comprising a plurality of annular echelettes formed on a first surface of the base lens. The diffractive structure is configured to produce a zero-order diffraction corresponding to a distance vision focal point determined by the base power, the diffraction efficiency of the zero-order diffraction between 45% and 55%; a first-order diffraction having a diffraction efficiency between 5% and 10%; a second-order diffraction corresponding to an intermediate vision focal point, the diffraction efficiency between 15% and 20%; and a third-order diffraction corresponding to a near vision focal point, the diffraction efficiency between 15% and 25%. The diffractive structure includes a plurality of annular diffractive steps, each defined by a profile having a curved slope and a peak.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ophthalmic lens (such as an IOL) that is designed to enhance depth of focus for intermediate vision performance, while maintaining distance vision. The lens may include an optic having an anterior surface and a posterior surface disposed about an optical axis. One of the surfaces (e.g., the anterior surface) may have a surface profile involving a superposition of at least three structures or profiles, including a base structure, a phase shift structure having an inner region, an outer region and a transition region, and a zonal structure having an inner power zone and an outer transition zone.

    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a curvature-changing, accommodative intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation in the capsular bag of a patient's eye. The IOL includes a fluid optic body having a cavity for containing an optical fluid, the cavity at least partially defined by a sidewall extending around the cavity and defining a diameter of the cavity and a deformable optical membrane intersecting the sidewall around a circumference of the sidewall and spanning the diameter of the cavity. The IOL further includes a second optic body spaced a distance apart from the fluid optic body and a plurality of struts extending from the sidewall and coupling the fluid optic body to the second optic body. The struts are configured such that axial compression of the capsular bag causes the struts to deform the sidewall in a manner that increases the diameter of the cavity, modifying a curvature of the deformable optical membrane.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ophthalmic lens that is disposed to balance coma aberrations if the lens, when inserted in a patient's eye, is decentered or tilted with respect to an optical axis of the patient's eye, and maintain a substantially diffraction-limited image quality if the lens, when inserted in the patient's eye, is centered with respect to the optical axis of the patient's eye. The lens may include an optic having an anterior surface and an opposing posterior surface disposed about an optical axis of the lens. One of the surfaces (e.g., the anterior surface) may have a semi-aspheric surface profile, which includes an inner region having a substantially spherical surface profile and extending radially from the optical axis of the lens to a first boundary, and an outer region having an aspherical surface profile and extending radially at least beyond the first boundary to a second boundary.
