An intraocular lens (IOL) injector assembly comprising an injector body having a shuttle reception opening defined at least in part by a first sidewall and a second sidewall, and a shuttle comprising a first wing including a first portion of a shuttle lumen wall and a second wing including a second portion of a shuttle lumen wall. The first wing and the second wing are coupled together by a hinge. When in a closed state, the first portion of the shuttle lumen wall and the second portion of the shuttle lumen wall define at least a portion of an operative shuttle lumen. The shuttle and sidewalls are configured such that the first wing and the second wing interfere with the first sidewall and the second sidewall, respectively, as the shuttle passes through the shuttle reception opening, such that the closed state of the shuttle is attained.

Intraocular lens injector assembly including a shuttle and method of using same

An injector for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) into an eye, comprising: a first side wall and a second side wall which are movable relative to one another, each side wall including a void, the voids positioned opposite one another in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the injector. The injector may be in a combination with the IOL, the IOL disposed on a portion of the injector. The IOL may be in an unstressed state. A first portion of a haptic of the IOL may extend into the void in the first side wall.

IOL injector comprising a moveable side wall

Apparatus and methods for injection molding intraocular lenses includes an embodiment having first and second runners extending into first and second optic cavities of a mold configured to make a dual optic lens device.

A method for obtaining contact lenses having optimized visual acuity involves providing the anterior surface or the posterior surface of the contact lens with a conic section having a shape factor value within the range of about 0.3 to 2.0, the shape factor value being selected so as to adjust spherical aberration in the central optical zone to a value within the range of about &minus;0.2 diopter to about &minus;0.6 diopter and to a value that provides optimal visual acuity.
