MULTI-PIECE ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENSES AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING SAME
An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises first and second components coupled together to define an inner fluid chamber and an outer fluid reservoir. The inner region of the AIOL provides optical power with one or more of the shaped fluid within the inner fluid chamber or the shape of the first or second components. The fluid reservoir comprises a bellows region with fold(s) extending circumferentially around an optical axis of the eye. The bellows engages the lens capsule, and a compliant fold region between the inner and outer bellows portions allows the profile of the AIOL to deflect when the eye accommodates for near vision. Fluid transfers between the inner fluid chamber and the outer fluid reservoir to provide optical power changes. A third lens component coupled to the first or second component provides additional optical power.
ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENS AND METHODS OF IMPLANTATION
An accommodating intraocular lens device for treatment of an eye having a lens body; internal support; stabilization system; and force translation arm. The lens body includes an accommodating membrane, an annular element, a static element, and a fixed volume of optical fluid filling a sealed chamber of the lens body. The annular element coupled to the perimeter of the accommodating membrane has a shape deformation membrane configured to undergo displacement relative to the perimeter region. The sealed chamber is formed by inner surfaces of the accommodating membrane, shape deformation membrane, and static element. The force translation arm has a first end operatively coupled to the shape deformation membrane and a free end available and configured to engage a ciliary structure of the eye. The force translation arm is moveable relative to the lens body to cause inward movement of the shape deformation membrane. Related methods, devices, and systems are provided.
INTRAOCULAR LENS
An accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) is provided. The IOL includes an optic having an anterior face and a posterior face. One or more centration lips are disposed directly on the posterior and/or anterior face of the optic or directly on the posterior and/or anterior face of a carrier that holds the optic. Anterior centration lips are configured to center the optic in a lens capsulotomy opening. Posterior centration lips are configured to fixate the optic in a lens capsule and also center the optic in a lens capsulotomy opening.
ARTIFICIAL ACCOMMODATING LENS COMPLEX
The present invention provides an arrangement (600) for an artificial eye lens. The arrangement comprises at least two ring-shaped elements (610) and a plurality of arched ribs (620). The plurality of arched ribs connects the two ring-shaped elements. The ring-shaped elements and plurality of arched ribs form a space for housing the artificial eye lens. The ring-shaped elements arc moveable with respect to each other along a common axis (x). It comprises further a collapsible tape (64) for define a maximum range of deformation of the arrangement.
Accommodating intraocular lenses
Accommodating intraocular lenses containing a flowable media and their methods of accommodation.
INTRAOCULAR ACTIVE ACCOMMODATION SYSTEM
An intraocular lens (IOL) includes one or more haptic structures coupled to hold the IOL (100A) system in an eye. The IOL also includes one or more mechanical-to-electrical transducers (107) that detect mechanical changes in the eye and, in response to the mechanical changes, output an electrical signal. An accommodation actuator (101) is electrically coupled to the one or more mechanical-to-electrical transducers, and in response to the electrical signal the optical power of the accommodation actuator changes.
THREE-LENS INTRAOCULAR LENS SYSTEM
The present disclosure provides a three-lens IOL system including a first, anterior lens, a second, posterior lens rigidly connected to the first lens by at least one rigid member such that the second lens is a fixed distance from the first lens along an axis, a third, center, moveable lens positioned between the first lens and the second lens and adapted to move linearly along the axis anteriorly in a direction of the first lens or posteriorly in a direction of the second lens to change an optical power of the system, and an articulating actuator that contacts the moveable lens and a capsular bag of an eye when the IOL system is implanted in the capsular bag, the articulating actuator adapted to move the moveable lens linearly along the axis.
DISSOLVABLE STRETCH RING FOR INTRAOCULAR LENS
A dissolvable stretch ring including a biodegradable polymer positioned on or adjacent to at least one haptic of an intraocular lens (IOL) is described. The dissolvable stretch ring can be included in an IOL arrangement, comprising an IOL an IOL body and at least one haptic extending directly or indirectly from the IOL body, and the dissolvable stretch ring. A method of implanting an IOL into an eye of a subject including the steps of inserting an IOL comprising an IOL body and at least one haptic extending directly or indirectly from the IOL body into the capsular bag of the eye and positioning a dissolvable stretch ring comprising a biodegradable polymer on at least one haptic of the IOL is also described.
Exchangeable optics and therapeutics
An exchangeable optics system includes an intraocular base that can be fixed within an eye. The intraocular base includes one or more couplers and a supporting structure. The one or more couplers releasably couple to an exchangeable optic and can include magnetic material. The supporting structure can include haptics and a main structure that physically supports the exchangeable optic. The intraocular base can include a fixed lens within or on the main structure. The exchangeable optic can include corresponding one or more couplers, which may be formed of magnetic material.
