UV ABSORBER ALTERATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

Abstract

A system for forming an intraocular lens (IOL). The system includes a pulsed laser configured to produce a pulsed laser output and an optical device configured to form a focused laser output from the pulsed laser output and direct the focused laser output at an IOL containing a UV absorber compound. The focused laser output is configured to alter molecular bonds of the UV absorber compound to form a new or modified compound within the IOL that imparts a different refractive property in the IOL.
