Mixed optics intraocular achromatic lens
First Claim
1. An intraocular achromatic lens apparatus, comprising an intraocular lens made of a synthesized plastic material and having first and second opposite outer light-transmitting intraocular surfaces for surgically positioning in optical alignment within an eye, and having on one of the surfaces a binary multiple level diffractive pattern to form one patterned surface for bending light, for correcting chromatic aberration and for focusing an image on a retina of the eye.

Abstract
Achromatic intraocular curved lenses have high order binary optic multiple level patterns for binary diffraction of light for correcting for chromatic aberration, making thin, lightweight, intraocular lenses that may be readily positioned in an eye, and that may bend and redirect light ray wavefronts to a retina for forming perceptible images with correct shapes and colors.
