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.

The invention relates to an intraocular lens comprising an optics body and a haptic which has a first component with a latching protrusion and a second component with a latching recess, the latching protrusion and the latching recess being arranged at a distance from one another when the haptic is arranged in a relaxed state and being configured to engage with one another when, proceeding from the relaxed state, the haptic is moved in the direction of the optics body into a completely compressed state of the haptic via a partially compressed state of the haptic, the haptic being formed by a single piece and having a haptic cutout which is delimited by the first component and the second component.

An intraocular lens (IOL) has a clear optic and means for actuating change in curvature in at least a portion the clear optic. The intraocular lens (IOL) can have anterior and posterior portions spaced apart by a cavity, and an actuator for urging change in curvature in at least one of said portions, with energy provided by an energy harvesting mechanism incorporated into haptics of said IOL.

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 symmetric or asymmetric optic with aspheric surface which redirects and/or focuses light incident on the eye at oblique angles onto a peripheral retinal location. The intraocular 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 intraocular lens can be configured to improve or reduce peripheral errors at the location on the peripheral retina. One or more surfaces of the intraocular 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.

Provided is an intraocular lens having an optical body and having at least one haptic element coupled to the optical body, wherein the at least one haptic element has a first haptic component and at least a second haptic component formed adjacent thereto, which is movable elastically relative to the first haptic component, and having a principal optical axis that penetrates through a front side and a reverse side of the optical body, wherein the haptic element, measured in the direction of the principal optical axis, has a maximum of a first height, wherein the second haptic component is displaceable relative to the first haptic component from a non-spread position to a spread position in such a way that the haptic element, measured in the direction of the principal optical axis, attains a maximum of a second height which is greater than the first height, and, in the spread position, the second haptic component can be locked in place relative to the first haptic component, wherein the first haptic component has at least a first spreading element, and the second haptic component has at least a second spreading element, wherein the first spreading element and the second spreading element, viewed in circumferential direction around the principal optical axis, at least in the spread position, are in a mutually overlapping arrangement and directly adjacent to one another at least in some regions.

An intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises an optical structure and a haptic structure. The optical structure comprises a planar member, a plano convex member, and a fluid optical element defined between the planar member and the plano convex member. The fluid optical element has an optical power. The haptic structure couples the planar member and the plano convex member together at a peripheral portion of the optical structure. The haptic structure comprises a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the fluid optical element and a peripheral structure for interfacing to the lens capsule. Shape changes of the lens capsule cause one or more of volume or shape changes to the fluid optical element in correspondence to deformations in the planar member to modify the optical power of the fluid optical element.

An apparatus has a central lens body for providing vision correction for a patient. The lens body has a central aperture and is configured as one of: a diffractive lens or a refractive lens. The lens body has at least one haptic extending from the lens body, and the central aperture has a form of a circular hole extending fully through the lens body when the apparatus is implanted in the eye. The lens body is formed from a substantially transparent material and the central aperture includes a darkened perimeter. The darkened perimeter of the central aperture includes a darkened internal wall extending through the lens body from an anterior surface to a posterior surface of the lens body.

The invention relates to an injector assembly having: a folding chamber which is designed to receive an intraocular lens which has an optical body and two haptic elements; a holder; a folding wedge which is attached to the holder and is designed to be introduced into the folding chamber via a folding chamber opening, thereby folding the intraocular lens; and a first slider and a second slider which are each designed to push one of the two haptic elements onto the optical body by means of a displacement of the respective slider from a starting position to an end position, the holder being designed to drive the first slider and/or the second slider from the starting position to the end position by means of a movement of the holder towards the folding chamber.

An intraocular lens has central lens body with a first and second, opposite posterior and anterior surfaces, the posterior and anterior surfaces meeting in a rounded peripheral side surface. The lens further has at least a pair of haptics extending from the peripheral side surface of the central lens body, each of the haptics having an arcuate configuration so that a radially distal end of each haptic is engageable within the ciliary sulcus of the eye. The haptics engageable with the ciliary sulcus for stabilizing the central lens body at a location posterior, or rearward, of both the lens capsule anterior and posterior portions, such that the central lens body seals the anterior and posterior portions together proximal to a capsulotomy in each of the anterior and posterior portions.

Systems, methods, and devices for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) assembly into an eye may be provided. An example optic management system may include a housing having a first end and a second end and a first side extending between the first end the second end. The housing may include a cavity formed in the first side of the housing and configured to accommodate an intraocular lens, wherein the cavity comprises a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion. The housing may further include a bore formed in the housing, wherein a first portion of the bore extends from the first end to the cavity. The haptic optic management system may further include a ceiling disposed on the first side of the housing. The haptic optic management system may further include arms pivotably coupled to the housing in the cavity.
