Claim Text:
1. An intraocular lens design method, comprising: deriving a target value AbL of an aberration of an intraocular lens from an aberration AbC of a cornea and an anterior chamber portion and a set value of an aberration AbE of the whole eyeball into which the intraocular lens is inserted; determining an initial shape of the intraocular lens; determining an aberration value for the intraocular lens having the initial shape; iteratively adjusting the initial shape of the intraocular lens so that at least the aberration of the intraocular lens coincides with the target value; and obtaining parameters associated with a target shape of the intraocular lens, wherein the target value AbL is derived from the difference between the set value of the aberration AbE of the whole eyeball and the aberration AbC of the cornea and the anterior chamber portion, based on formula AbL=AbE−AbC, wherein the aberration AbC of the cornea and the anterior chamber portion is derived by measuring the shape of the cornea, wherein the aberration of the intraocular lens is determined by allowing a predetermined converging beam of light to enter the intraocular lens, the predetermined converging beam of light obtained by focusing a parallel beam of light that is incident on a front surface of the cornea to a focal point at a distance of 17 mm-45 mm from a rear surface of the cornea, wherein the obtained parameters are used by a lens manufacturer to manufacture an intraocular lens having the target shape.
