An apparatus has a central lens body for providing vision correction for a patient. The lens body has a central aperture and is configured as one of: a diffractive lens or a refractive lens. The lens body has at least one haptic extending from the lens body, and the central aperture has a form of a circular hole extending fully through the lens body when the apparatus is implanted in the eye. The lens body is formed from a substantially transparent material and the central aperture includes a darkened perimeter. The darkened perimeter of the central aperture includes a darkened internal wall extending through the lens body from an anterior surface to a posterior surface of the lens body.

Optical implant and methods of implantation

An intraocular lens has central lens body with a first and second, opposite posterior and anterior surfaces, the posterior and anterior surfaces meeting in a rounded peripheral side surface. The lens further has at least a pair of haptics extending from the peripheral side surface of the central lens body, each of the haptics having an arcuate configuration so that a radially distal end of each haptic is engageable within the ciliary sulcus of the eye. The haptics engageable with the ciliary sulcus for stabilizing the central lens body at a location posterior, or rearward, of both the lens capsule anterior and posterior portions, such that the central lens body seals the anterior and posterior portions together proximal to a capsulotomy in each of the anterior and posterior portions.

Intraocular lens and methods for implanting the same

An apparatus (A,B,C) has central lens body (A,B,C) for providing vision correction for a patient. The lens body (A,B,C) has an initial index of refraction and is formed from at least one material configured to have a second index of refraction when subjected to a laser and/or radiation.

An intraocular lens has central lens body at least one haptic extending from the central lens body. The haptic has a lobular configuration. The lens body and the haptic having a folded configuration for implantation within the eye. The lens having a first deployed configuration wherein the lens body is positioned at a location substantially behind sealed anterior and posterior portions of the lens capsule with the at least one haptic positioned at a location substantially over top of the sealed anterior and posterior portions of the lens capsule. The lens having a second deployed configuration wherein the lens body is positioned at a location substantially in front of the sealed anterior and posterior portions of the lens capsule with the at least one haptic positioned at a location substantially over behind the sealed anterior and posterior portions of the lens capsule.
