20230181312 · 2023-06-15 ·

Prosthetic capsular devices (e.g., bag, bowl, housing, structure, cage, frame) include technology devices such as a computer, virtual reality device, display device, WiFi/internet access device, image receiving device, biometric sensor device, game device, image viewers or senders, GPSs, e-mail devices, combinations thereof, and/or the like. The technology devices can be used in combination with an intraocular lens. The output from the technology device(s) can be fed to the retina of the user to provide a visual image, can be otherwise connected to the user, and/or can be used to control the properties of the intraocular lens or of the prosthetic capsular device. Wearable technology that provides biometric data, such as blood glucose levels, body temperature, electrolyte balance, heart rate, EKG, EEG, intraocular pressure, sensing ciliary muscle contraction for accommodation stimulus, dynamic pupil change and retinal prostheses, combinations thereof, and the like can assist in technology-assisted health care functions.

An intraocular lens focuser (114) to be implanted in a human eye includes a resiliently deformable force applicator (140) to apply a focussing force to an accommodating intraocular lens and an attaching portion configured to enable attachment of the lens focuser in the eye. The force applicator is configured such that, in use, when a ciliary muscle of the eye is relaxed to place the accommodating intraocular lens in a distance vision condition, the force applicator is in a deformed condition and when the ciliary muscle contracts to place the accommodating intraocular lens in a near vision condition the force applicator resiles towards a relaxed non-deformed condition to at least assist in placing the accommodating intraocular lens in the near vision condition. The attaching portion has a plurality of members configured to permit attachment of the force applicator to at least one of i) an exterior of a capsular sac of the eye ii) zonules of the eye and iii) the ciliary muscle with the force applicator disposed exteriorly of the capsular sac.
