An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises first and second components coupled together to define an inner fluid chamber and an outer fluid reservoir. The inner region of the AIOL provides optical power with one or more of the shaped fluid within the inner fluid chamber or the shape of the first or second components.

Systems and methods for compensating for tilt of an intraocular lens (IOL) and systems and methods for adjusting an IOL are disclosed herein. For example, one of the methods may include capturing one or more optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of a subject's eye while implanting the IOL within the subject's eye. The method may further include generating a fixation target such that the fixation target is visible to an eye of the subject; and moving the fixation target until the lateral plane of the IOL is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the ophthalmic system.

An electroactive lens with raised resistive bridges is disclosed. The resistive bridges can connect many ring electrodes in an electroactive lens with a relatively small number of bus lines. These resistors are typically large to prevent excessive current consumption. Typically, they are placed in the same plane as the ring electrodes, which means that the ring electrodes are further apart or made discontinuous to accommodate the resistors. But further separating the ring electrodes or making them discontinuous degrades the optical quality of the lens. Placing the ring electrodes and resistors on layers separated by an insulator allows the ring electrodes to be closer together and continuous and have a high enough resistance to limit current consumption. It also relaxes the constraints on feature size and placement during processing to make the lens. And because the resistors and electrodes are on different planes, they can be formed of materials with different resistivities.

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.
