An optical implantable member (102) is provided. The optical implantable member (102) includes an optic (104). The optic (104) includes an anterior surface (108) and a posterior surface (110), an optical centre (112) and a peripheral edge (116). The optical implantable member (102) is configured to be placed within a capsular bag of the eye. The optic (104) of the optical implantable member (102) includes a barrier (202). The barrier (202) is formed by a protrusion (202) on the posterior surface (110) of the optic (104). The protrusion (202) is concentric to an optical axis (114) of the optic (104). An outer wall (204 or 208) of the protrusion (202) is between the peripheral edge (116) and the optical centre (112). The barrier (202) restricts epithelial cells from migrating towards a central region of the capsular bag.
