Systems and methods are provided for improving overall vision in patients suffering from a loss of vision in a portion of the
retina (e.g., loss of
central vision) by providing a dual optic
intraocular lens which redirects and / or focuses light incident on the eye at oblique angles onto a
peripheral retinal location. The
intraocular lens can include a redirection element (e.g., a
prism, a diffractive element, or an optical component with a decentered GRIN profile) configured to direct incident light along a deflected
optical axis and to focus an image at a location on the
peripheral retina. Optical properties of the
intraocular lens can be configured to improve or reduce
peripheral errors at the location on the
peripheral retina. One or more surfaces of the intraocular lens can be a toric surface, a higher order aspheric surface, an aspheric Zernike surface or a Biconic Zernike surface to reduce optical errors in an image produced at a peripheral
retinal location by light incident at oblique angles.
