An intraocular lens (103) for reducing aberrant optical effects includes a substantially oval, elliptical, or rectangular optic with an anterior surface (201), a posterior surface (203) and a peripheral region/zone (205) disposed about a central optical axis and a plurality of haptics coupled to the optic. The peripheral region/zone has an inflection region/transition area that is inclined with respect to the anterior surface at an angle between about 40 degrees and 120 degrees with respect to the optical axis. The thickness at the edge of the IOL is less than or about 0.03 mm.
