The dispensing system includes a source of optical liquid, a positive displacement pump, and a filling needle having a lumen in fluid communication with the source of optical liquid. The filling needle is configured to penetrate an injection zone of the lens device for filling an internal chamber of the lens device. The measurement system is configured to measure a lens zone of the lens device. The lens device holding system includes a lens fixture for maintaining a position of the lens device relative to the filling needle and the measurement system.

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.

An intraocular lens system for implantation in an eye is provided. The intraocular lens system includes a ciliary body implant having a passive ciliary signal element, the ciliary body implant being implantable in the eye such that the ciliary signal element provides a ciliary signal in response to a movement of the ciliary muscle of the eye. The intraocular lens system also includes an intraocular lens having a sensor element for receiving the ciliary signal. The ciliary body implant and the intraocular lens are formed separately from each other and the intraocular system is configured to control a refractive effect of the intraocular lens that is dependent on the ciliary signal received from the sensor element.

An intraocular lens (IOL) with a shape-changing optic is provided. The shape-changing optic includes an elastic anterior face located anterior to the equator. The anterior face has an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and a periphery. The shape-changing optic also includes a posterior face having an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and a periphery. An elastic side wall can extend across the equator and extend from the anterior face to the posterior face. A chamber can be located between the anterior face and the posterior face. The IOL can further include at least one haptic extending from the periphery of the anterior face, the periphery of the posterior face, or both.

An intraocular lens includes a substantially circular lens element formed of a transparent material and one or more haptics extending outwardly from an outer edge of the lens element. The one or more haptics are formed of a polymer foam material having a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) and are configured to couple the intraocular lens to an eye of a patient. The lens includes an inner region having a first index of refraction and an outer region disposed circumferentially surrounding the inner region, the outer region having a second index of refraction different from the first index of refraction.

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 accommodating (re-focusable) lens system a body of which includes, upon being assembled, first and second individual lenslets having first and second optical portions sequentially disposed along an optical axis. Change in optical-power accommodation of the system is achieved by changing an applanated area of contact between the lenslets in response to force applied to the lenslets and transformed into an axial force. In specific case, the first and second lenslets form an intraocular lens (IOL) and have respective haptic portions, interlocked as a result of rotating of one lenslet with respect to another such as to bring first and second lenslets in contact at an axial point. The applanated area of contact is changed, then, in response to a radially-directed force caused by a change of distance between the interlocked ends of the haptics and transferred to the optical portions through the interlocked haptics. When installed in a natural lens capsule after the cataract extraction, the optical power of such IOL is gradually modifiable due to a change of curvature of the capsule caused by operation of a ciliary muscle.
