Abstract

See full text

Aspheric optical lenses (e.g., intraocular lenses and contact lenses) are provided. The intraocular lens includes a body portion defining an anterior optical surface and an opposing posterior optical surface. The anterior optical surface includes a central region surrounded by a first outer region and a second outer region. The central region has a first asphericity profile. The first outer region has a second asphericity profile that is different than the first asphericity profile of the central region. The second outer region has a third asphericity profile that is different than the second asphericity profile of the first outer region. The overall asphericity profile of the optical lens provides different depths of focus for different pupil sizes. The result is an optical lens that provides increased depth of focus or pseudo-accommodation while maintaining desired optical power and performance.
