An intraocular lens for implantation in an eye. Transmission of a wavefront of light in a first wavelength range through the lens results in introduction of substantially no additional spherical aberration to the wavefront. According to one embodiment a lens body has first and second opposing surfaces each characterized by the same conic constant. In an associated method for reducing aberrations in an ocular system, a self-corrected intraocular lens is prepared with substantial correction to remove spherical aberrations which would otherwise be caused by the intraocular lens. Generally, in a method for focusing light in an eye, a wavefront of unaberrated light is provided at a corneal surface where it is transformed to aberrated light by transmission through the corneal surface. The wavefront is then transmitted through an intraocular lens implanted in the eye without introducing any substantial correction to the aberration introduced by the corneal surface. |
