Abstract

What we believe to be a new type of transparent photon sieve is presented with application for presbyopia correction. Inspired by blazed gratings, we propose to design an intracorneal implant with slanted holes. The slopes introduce a new degree of freedom, breaking the symmetry of energy distribution along the optical axis and allowing to balance the energy between near and far vision. This new implant design is presented together with the simulation, manufacturing and validation methods. The first experimental results obtained with an implant manufactured in a biocompatible material are presented confirming the potential of the approach.
