ABSTRACT:
Prismatic intraocular lenses are disclosed for restoring visual function to an eye having macular degeneration. The lenses each include a convex lens optic for receiving and focusing light rays, a prismatic wedge located posterior to the convex lens optic for receiving and directing light rays to a first portion of a retina of the eye, and means for in situ alteration of the optical characteristics of the intraocular lens to direct light rays to a second functional portion of the retina.
