PIGGYBACK INTRAOCULAR LENS THAT IMPROVES OVERALL VISION WHERE THERE IS A LOCAL LOSS OF RETINAL FUNCTION

Systems and methods are provided for improving overall vision in patients suffering from a loss of vision in a portion of the retina (e.g., loss of central vision) by providing a piggyback lens which in combination with the cornea and an existing lens in the patient's eye redirects and/or focuses light incident on the eye at oblique angles onto a peripheral retinal location. The piggyback lens can include a redirection element (e.g., a prism, a diffractive element, or an optical component with a decentered GRIN profile) configured to direct incident light along a deflected optical axis and to focus an image at a location on the peripheral retina. Optical properties of the piggyback lens can be configured to improve or reduce peripheral errors at the location on the peripheral retina. One or more surfaces of the piggyback lens can be a toric surface, a higher order aspheric surface, an aspheric Zernike surface or a Biconic Zernike surface to reduce optical errors in an image produced at a peripheral retinal location by light incident at oblique angles.

INTRAOCULAR LENS INJECTOR
20230033115 · 2023-02-02 ·

Provided is an intraocular lens injector 1 for injecting an intraocular lens 4 into an eye. The intraocular lens injector 1 includes a hollow body, a lens setting portion 11 provided inside the hollow body, and a slider 6 for advancing the intraocular lens 4 set on the lens setting portion 11. A space 72 into which a part of the rear side of the intraocular lens 4 is capable of moving downward is provided at a position α on the inner-circumference lower portion of the hollow body, a front limit of a range of motion of a portion of the slider 6 that abuts against the outer circumference of an optical portion 41 of the intraocular lens 4 being encompassed above the position α.

MODULAR INTRAOCULAR LENS DESIGNS AND METHODS

A modular IOL system including intraocular primary and secondary components, which, when combined, form an intraocular optical correction device, wherein the secondary component is placed on the primary component within the perimeter of the capsulorhexis, thus avoiding the need to touch or otherwise manipulate the capsular bag. The secondary component may be manipulated, removed, and/or exchanged for a different secondary component for correction or modification of the optical result, on an intra-operative or post-operative basis, without the need to remove the primary component and without the need to manipulate the capsular bag. The primary component may have haptics extending therefrom for centration in the capsular bag, and the secondary component may exclude haptics, relying instead on attachment to the primary component for stability. Such attachment may include actuatable interlocking members.

Intraocular Lens Punch

An exemplary ophthalmic lens includes an optic comprising an anterior optic surface and a posterior optic, and a multi-curvature optical edge surrounding the optic and connecting the anterior optic surface to the posterior optic surface, the multi-curvature optical edge comprising a plurality of tangentially-connected curved surfaces configured to mitigate positive dysphotopsia by directing or diffusing from light incident on the multi-curvature optical edge away from a fovea of a patient.

ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENS DEVICE
20230081362 · 2023-03-16 ·

An accommodating intraocular lens device is provided. The accommodating intraocular lens device comprises a base assembly and a power lens. The base assembly comprises a first open end, a second end coupled to a base lens, and a haptic surrounding a central cavity. The haptic may comprise an outer periphery, an inner surface and a height between a first edge and a second edge. The power lens is configured to fit within the central cavity. The power lens may comprise a first side, a second side, a peripheral edge coupling the first and second sides, and a closed cavity configured to house a fluid. The first side of the power lens may be positioned at a predetermined distance from the first edge of the haptic.
