ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENSES
An intraocular lens adapted to be implanted inside a capsular bag, comprising a peripheral portion comprising an anterior annular portion adapted to engage an anterior capsule portion, the anterior annular portion defining an anterior opening through which an optical axis passes, a posterior annular portion adapted to engage a posterior capsule portion, the anterior and posterior annular portions being adapted to keep the capsular bag open after implantation, and an optic portion disposed within the anterior opening and secured to and radially inward relative to the peripheral portion.
Intraocular drug delivery systems and methods of use
Embodiments of the instant disclosure relate to intraocular drug delivery devices for and methods of, delivering at least one therapeutic agent to an eye of a subject. Methods include implanting an intraocular implant into the eye and adjacent to a fluid-permeable membrane of the eye of the patient. Intraocular implants are supported in a position at a surface of the fluid-permeable membrane. Intraocular implants include a drug delivery component having at least one therapeutic agent embedded within a non-bioerodible, non-biodegradable polymer matrix. Devices and methods disclosed herein can further include delivering the at least one therapeutic agent to the eye of the subject according to a near zero-order elution rate of the at least one therapeutic agent.
Prosthetic capsular devices, systems, and methods
A prosthetic capsular device configured to be inserted in an eye after removal of a lens, in some embodiments, can comprise a housing structure comprising capable of containing an intraocular device and an equiconvex refractive surface. The housing structure can comprise an anterior portion comprising an anterior opening, a posterior portion comprising a posterior opening, and a continuous lateral portion between the anterior portion and the posterior portion.

MULTI-PIECE ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENS
An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises first and second components coupled together to define an inner fluid chamber and an outer fluid reservoir. The inner region of the AIOL provides optical power with one or more of the shaped fluid within the inner fluid chamber or the shape of the first or second components. The fluid reservoir comprises a bellows region with fold(s) extending circumferentially around an optical axis of the eye. The bellows engages the lens capsule, and a compliant fold region between inner and outer bellows portions allows the profile of the AIOL to deflect when the eye accommodates for near vision. Fluid transfers between the inner fluid chamber and the outer fluid reservoir to provide optical power changes. A third lens component coupled to the first or second component provides additional optical power.
