Abstract
An ophthalmic lens may comprise a posterior optic surface and an anterior optic surface, which may comprise a central optic, a peripheral optic, and a capsule rim separating the central optic and the peripheral optic. An optic edge may couple the posterior optic surface to the peripheral optic. The capsule rim may be symmetric or asymmetric in various embodiments. In more particular embodiments, the capsule rim may form a surface at an angle of at least ninety (90) degrees to the peripheral optic. In some embodiments, the central optic may comprise an optic axis, and the capsule rim may form a surface that is substantially parallel to the optic axis.
