Intraocular lenses are provided having a visible-light selective
transmissive zone defined therein. The visible light-selective
transmissive zone can be located near the lens center and designed to
reduce the transmission of any wave-length of visible light specifically
light in the blue light region having wavelength between approximately
400 .lambda. to 550 .lambda.. In one embodiment he IOLs are made from
acrylates and the light absorbing compound is a yellow dye.
