INTRAOCULAR LENS WITH SHAPE CHANGING CAPABILTIY TO PROVIDE ENHANCED ACCOMODATION AND VISUAL ACUITY

摘要

An intraocular lens for providing a range of accommodative vision, an extended depth of focus, or enhanced performance through the asymmetric transfer of ocular forces to the lens. The intraocular lens contains an optic and a haptic. The shape and/or material of the haptic results in the transmission of ocular forces to particular regions in the optic. Greater forces applied to particular regions result in deformation of that region and increased power.
