Abstract
A composite light adjustable intraocular lens, can include an intraocular lens (IOL), a light adjustable lens, attached to the intraocular lens, and haptics. In some cases, a composite light adjustable intraocular lens can include an intraocular lens, and haptics, attached to the IOL with light-adjustable hinges. A method of adjusting an implanted composite light adjustable intraocular lens can include planning a targeted optical outcome of an implantation of the composite light adjustable intraocular lens into an eye; implanting, the composite light adjustable intraocular lens into the eye; performing a diagnostic measurement to evaluate an implanted optical outcome of the implantation; determining a correction based on a comparison of the planned optical outcome and the implanted optical outcome; and applying a stimulus to adjust an optical characteristic of the composite light adjustable intraocular lens to induce the determined correction.
