Intraocular lenses having a visible light-selective-transmissive-region

摘要

Intraocular lenses are provided having a visible-light selective transmissive zone defined therein. The visible light-selective transmissive zone can be located near the lens center and designed to reduce the transmission of any wave-length of visible light specifically light in the blue light region having wavelength between approximately 400 lambda to 550 lambda. In one embodiment he IOLs are made from acrylates and the light absorbing compound is a yellow dye.
