Described herein are intraocular lenses and methods of implantation. In one aspect, the lens includes a shape changing optical element; a force translation element having a first end region coupled to the optical element and a second end region extending towards a ciliary structure, and an attachment portion coupled to the second end region of the force translation element and configured to contact the ciliary structure. The force translation element is configured to functionally transmit movements of the ciliary structure into a force exerted upon the optical element to effect an accommodating and a disaccommodating change of the optical element.

A method for adjusting the refractive power of a fluid-filled intraocular lens implanted into a patients eye. The method comprises selecting a pattern to cause a flattening of the intraocular lens or an increase in curvature of the intraocular lens, and ablating the pattern, onto either an optical element of the intraocular lens or a flexible element of the intraocular lens, to alter either one or both of a refractive power and an amplitude of accommodation of the intraocular lens. The ablating occurs while the intraocular lens remains implanted in the patient's eye. The ablating maintains the integrity of a fluid-filled interior cavity defined between the optical element and the flexible element, but causes the flattening of the intraocular lens or the increase in curvature of the intraocular lens.

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.

Intraocular lenses with a base optical power and a customized add power. The add power is customized based on at least one of ocular biometry of an individual, position of the intraocular lens in the eye and a preferred reading distance.

The disclosure relates to an ophthalmological instrument with a main body and at least one ligand (L) immobilized on the main body. In the implanted state of the ophthalmological implant, the ligand (L) binds and/or deactivates at least one fibrinogen and/or cytokine. The disclosure further relates to a method for producing an ophthalmological implant, and to a use of a ligand (L), via which at least one fibrinogen and/or cytokine is to be bound and/or deactivated in the implanted state of the ophthalmological implant, for producing an ophthalmological implant.

Bifurcated haptic aligner actuators (BHAAs) have an anterior and a posterior lens support ring to each of which is pivotively attached a plurality of center-pivoted struts, at least two of which comprise an opposing pair, and to each of the opposing pair of struts is pivotably attached a bifurcated haptic, one haptic branch being pivotably attached to the anterior part of a strut, the other branch of the same haptic being similarly attached to the posterior part of the same strut.

An ophthalmic apparatus includes a support structure; a substrate included with the support structure; at least one conductor disposed on the substrate; and a hermetic barrier structure disposed over the at least one conductor. The hermetic barrier structure further includes a stack of alternating flexible insulating material and superelastic metal alloy layers.

Various embodiments are described herein for an ocular device implantable in a user's eye and which has an adjustable optical element for varying one or more optical properties for the eye such as, but not limited to, providing a dynamically adjustable aperture stop to control the amount of incoming light, filtering incoming light, polarizing incoming light, and/or varying a depth of field for the eye.

A presbyopia correcting system includes a test lens assembly, a controller and a dynamic lens assembly. The test lens assembly is disposed within or on an eye of a patient and includes measuring device, a transmitter and a first supporting member. The measuring device measures a pressure exerted by an ocular element of the eye and then transmits the data to the controller. A medical provider can then select an appropriate dynamic lens assembly to replace the test lens assembly. The dynamic lens assembly includes a presbyopia correcting optical element configured to change a focus with the pressure exerted by the ocular element of the eye. The dynamic lens assembly also has a second supporting member that is identical to the first supporting member. Replacing the test lens assembly with the dynamic lens assembly then corrects the presbyopia condition of or provide low vision magnification for the patient.

An optimization system for presbyopia correction includes a dynamic lens and a separately disposed controller. The dynamic lens includes a sensor measuring an ocular element of a person's eye, a control electronics, an actuator, and a presbyopia correcting optical element communicating with the actuator for its setting to a far or near optical power. The controller sends paired instructions synchronically to the person as an audio command for viewing the object at far or near distance and to the control electronics as a wireless command to send the actuation signal to the actuator for communication with the presbyopia correcting optical element. The control electronics receives the wireless command and the sensor signal, stores the sensor signal, sends the actuation signal to the presbyopia correcting optical element and stores the corresponding actuation signal. The actuation signal communicates to the presbyopia correcting optical element to set for far or near optical power.
