An ophthalmic surgical lens to prevent retinopathy caused by microscopic illumination during cataract or intra-ocular lens surgery. The lens is soft and includes a transparent lens portion placed on a cornea, at least one haptic that extends from the base of the lens portion, and at least one aperture formed by the at least one haptic and the base of the lens portion. The at least one aperture exposes the ocular surface to allow for surgical incisions. The lens portion prevents incisions from being made on the cornea during surgery. The lens also absorbs a patient's corneal refraction so as to prevent the retinopathy.
