Abstract
An intraocular lens for providing enhanced vision includes an optic having a clear aperture having an outer diameter. The optic has opposing first and second surfaces disposed about an optical axis, the first surface including a cross-sectional profile. The optic further includes central and outer zones that fill the entire clear aperture of the optic. The central zone is disposed about the optical axis having an outer diameter, the profile in the vicinity of the central zone having a constant radius of curvature or a radius of curvature that increases with increasing radius from the optical axis. The outer zone is disposed about the central zone, the profile in the outer zone having a base curvature with a base radius of curvature and a center of curvature, the profile in the outer zone characterized in that, as the distance from the optical axis increases, the distance from the center of curvature of the base curvature also increases. The central zone and the outer zone.
