Abstract

An apparatus, such as lenses, a system and a method for providing custom ocular aberrations that provide higher visual acuity. The apparatus, system and method include inducing rotationally symmetric aberrations along with an add power in one eye and inducing non-rotationally symmetric aberrations along with an add power in the other eye to provide improved visual acuity at an intermediate distance.

Claims (9)

1. A method of treating presbyopia comprising:

providing a first intraocular lens for implantation that induces a predetermined amount of fourth or higher order spherical aberration in a first eye of a patient;

providing a second intraocular lens for implantation that induces a predetermined amount of astigmatism in a second eye of the patient;

implanting the first intraocular lens into the first eye of the patient;

implanting the second intraocular lens into the second eye of the patient;

wherein the predetermined amount of fourth or higher order spherical aberration is only induced in the first eye, and the predetermined amount of astigmatism is induced only in the second eye; and

further wherein the predetermined amounts of spherical aberration and astigmatism collectively enhance acuity at an intermediate distance.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing correction in the first eye to provide a defocus for near or intermediate vision in the first eye.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing correction in the second eye to provide distance vision in the second eye.
