An apparatus and method for delivering radiant energy beams onto an area of a cornea in a line focus to create a linear incisions. The radiant energy beams may be focused in a linear configuration onto the external surface of the cornea or onto intrastromal areas of the cornea of an eye to ablate the cornea in a radial slot, circumferential curved slot, or lenticular pattern, and thereby modify its curvature and refractive power. The apparatus includes an array of central reflectors and an assembly of peripheral reflectors. Each central reflector is associated with a respective peripheral reflector so that a beam reflected by the central reflector is intercepted by its associated peripheral reflector and is again reflected to precisely incise either external or internal areas of the cornea. Each peripheral reflector has a curved reflective surface to provide a line focus on the cornea, including both rectilinear and curvilinear line focus to create radial and circumferential curved incisions. In a modified embodiment, the assembly of peripheral reflectors and the array of central reflectors rotate to permit lathing of the cornea.

An IOL that is free of glare and the halo effect associated with conventional IOLs and a method for using the same is provided. The IOL is adapted for implantation into an eye, in place of or in addition to the natural lens of the eye, to adjust a refractive power of an eye. The IOL includes at least one lens portion and a light-absorbing material. The lens portion has first and second surfaces and a perimeter connecting the first and second surfaces which extends entirely about the lens portion. The first and second surfaces can have any suitable shape to provide the lens portion with a suitable refractive power. The light-absorbing material is disposed to absorb light propagating in a direction towards the perimeter to thus eliminate glare and the halo effect caused by such light. One or more haptics, which include a light absorbing material, can be attached to the lens portion for mounting the IOL in the eye. The light absorbing material of the haptics absorbs light impinging on the haptics to further eliminate glare and the halo effect.

The encoding mark uses a series of shapes as a guide, each of shape capable of being encoded with a finite number, including zero, of distinctive markings. The encoding of a predetermined identifier is performed by placing a predetermined number of distinctive markings substantially on the perimeter of at least one of the shapes in any spatial orientation with respect to each other on the series of shapes. The predetermined number of distinctive markings and the specific one of the shapes on which the distinctive mark is placed corresponds to a predetermined identifier. Since the shapes may only be a guide, they are not required to appear on the object marked with the encoding mark.

An intraocular lens assembly used to replace the natural lens in the eye. The assembly comprises a preferably soft optical lens, a resilient housing having an aperture through which the lens can be inserted into or removed from the housing, and a resilient support comprising a central ring coupled to the housing and a pair of support arms extending outwardly from the ring. The assembly is readily foldable for insertion into the eye through a small incision, can support the soft optical lens without sagging and distortion, and allows the optical lens to be easily replaced.
