The implantable lenses (100) described herein provide for modified edge regions. In one example embodiment an implantable lens includes an anterior surface (102), a posterior surface (103) and an outer edge surface (104) separating the anterior and posterior surfaces. The anterior surface can include a corrective portion (122) and a beveled portion (124). The beveled portion can be located between the corrective portion and the outer edge surface. The outer edge surface can have a first portion (126) and a second portion (128), where the first portion abuts the posterior surface and the second portion, and where the second portion further abuts the beveled portion. The modified edge region provides a more gradual transition between the anterior and posterior surfaces.
