Intraocular implants and methods of forming intraocular implants are described herein. The intraocular implant can include a powered optic and a lens holder. The optic can be mechanically coupled to an inner periphery of the lens holder to form the intraocular implant. A portion of the lens holder can include a mask disposed about the optic to increase depth of focus in a human patient.

Disclosed herein is an implantable accommodative IOL device for insertion into an eye of a patient, the device comprising an active element and a passive element. The active element has a first thickness and first refractive index, and the active element comprises an electrically responsive optical lens having variable optical power. The passive element has a second thickness and a second refractive index, and the passive element and the active element are aligned along a central axis extending perpendicularly through a central region of the device. The active element and the passive element comprise individual and separate optical lenses.

A multi-layer intraocular lens (IOL) includes a lens body, including an anterior diffractive optics layer, comprising a first biocompatible material, and a posterior diffractive optics layer, comprising a second biocompatible material that is different from the first biocompatible material. The anterior diffractive optics layer and the posterior diffractive optics layer are sealed in a peripheral non-optic portion of the lens body with a gap between the anterior diffractive optics layer and the posterior diffractive optics layer.

The present disclosure provides intraocular artificial lenses having a variable optical strength and methods of treating an eye disorder, such as presbyopia, using same. In some embodiments, the intraocular artificial lens comprises two optical elements that are moveable along the optical axis in relation to each other, for example in response to the accommodative process of the eye.

An apparatus includes an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens. The intraocular pseudophakic contact lens includes an optical lens configured to at least partially correct a residual refractive error in an eye. The residual refractive error includes a refractive error that exists in the eye after implantation of an artificial intraocular lens in the eye. The intraocular pseudophakic contact lens also includes one or more haptics configured to be inserted under an anterior leaflet of a capsular wall in the eye in order to capture and confine the one or more haptics under the anterior leaflet and secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens against the artificial intraocular lens.

An accommodating intraocular lens including an optic portion comprising an anterior surface and a posterior surface, a peripheral portion disposed radially relative to the optic portion and in communication with the optic portion and, the peripheral portion having a proximal portion secured to the optic portion and a free distal portion disposed away from the proximal portion, and a radially innermost surface of the peripheral portion, from the proximal portion to the free distal portion, follows a curved radially-outermost peripheral surface of the optic portion.

A multicomponent intraocular lens implantable in an optical system of a human eye, comprising: a base component and a front component, the front component comprising an attachment tab which extends from a circumferential side of the optical portion of the front component and engages the flange for attaching the front component to the base component, wherein the attachment tab of the front component comprises a resilient projection that protrudes away from the optical portion beyond the flange, wherein a portion of the resilient projection is located at a non-overlapping position with respect to the haptic of the base component in a circumferential direction around the optical portions, wherein the portion of the resilient projection has a back surface which is located backwards from a front surface of the haptic of the base component in the thickness direction of the base component.

The present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods for improving or optimizing peripheral vision. In particular, various IOL designs, as well as IOL implantation locations, are disclosed which improve or optimize peripheral vision.

The present invention relates to an intraocular lens, in particular capsular intraocular lens, with at least an anterior, a posterior optic element, a haptic element connecting both optic elements, wherein a cavity is formed by the optic element, and haptic elements, which are opened by circumferentially arranged openings. The object of the present invention is to provide an intraocular lens that allows a symmetrical deformation of one or more optic elements of the intraocular lens as well as a relative displacement of these optic elements relative to each other on their optic elemental axis, so that a sufficient change in refractive power is obtained. This object is met by an intraocular lens, wherein it is provided that the area of the cavity between the optic elements comprises a filling that is at least partially enclosed by a membrane that a) is formed as a bag and completely encloses the filling, b) is ring-shaped and is connected to the anterior and posterior optic element or c) closes the openings The present invention further relates to an intraocular lens having at least an anterior and a posterior optic element and a haptic element interconnecting both optic elements. According to the invention the haptic element forms an overhang at the transition to the anterior optic element, wherein the anterior surface of the haptic element anterior extends beyond the edge of the anterior optic element or the haptic element forms an overhang at the transition to the posterior optic element, whereby the posterior surface of the haptic element posterior protrudes over the edge of posterior optic element, wherein the anterior or the posterior optic element is preferably embodied as a pinhole.

A two-part accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) device for implantation in a capsular bag of a patient's eye. The IOL device includes a primary lens assembly and a power changing lens. The primary lens assembly includes a fixed lens and a peripherally disposed centration member. The centration member has a circumferential distal edge and a first coupling surface adjacent the circumferential distal edge. The power changing lens has an enclosed, fluid- or gel-filled lens cavity and haptic system disposed peripherally of the lens cavity. The haptic system has a peripheral engaging edge configured to contact the capsular bag and a second coupling surface. The first and second coupling surfaces are in sliding contact with one another to permit movement of the power changing lens relative to the primary lens assembly and also to maintain a spaced relationship between the fixed lens and the lens cavity during radial compression of the power changing lens.
