A narrow profile, glare reducing, posterior chamber intraocular lens
comprises an optic having an anterior surface and a posterior surface and
an optical axis. The posterior surface is formed having two adjacent
peri-axial, stepped imaging zones, the two imaging zones having the
substantially the same optical power. A transition zone between the two
imaging zones preferably has a surface of continuous curvature shaped to
reduce direct glare from light incident on the transition zone in an
individual's eye in which the intraocular lens is implanted by internal
reflection of direct light incident on the transition zone. Attachment
members joined to the optic position the intraocular lens in an eye with
the optical axis of the optic generally aligned with the optical axis of
the eye. In variations, the transition zones are formed at the optic edge
to minimize direct and indirect in the eye of an individual wearing the
intraocular lens.
