An IOL injector plunger having IOL compression arms is described.

Disclosed are adjustable intraocular lenses and methods of adjusting intraocular lenses post-operatively. In one embodiment, an adjustable accommodating intraocular lens comprises an optic portion and at least one haptic. At least part of the haptic can be made in part of a composite material comprising an energy absorbing constituent and a plurality of shrinkable and/or burstable microspheres. At least one of a base power of the optic portion can be configured to change in response to an external energy directed at the composite material.

An accommodation-facilitating intraocular implant has: a ring sized to fit within a capsular lens bag of an eye; and a plurality of haptics angularly spaced around and radially extended from the ring. A multi-curve implantable accommodating intraocular lens has a convex anterior and concave posterior.

A system and method for inserting an intraocular lens in a patient's eye includes a light source for generating a light beam, a scanner for deflecting the light beam to form an enclosed treatment pattern that includes a registration feature, and a delivery system for delivering the enclosed treatment pattern to target tissue in the patient's eye to form an enclosed incision therein having the registration feature. An intraocular lens is placed within the enclosed incision, wherein the intraocular lens has a registration feature that engages with the registration feature of the enclosed incision. Alternately, the scanner can make a separate registration incision for a post that is connected to the intraocular lens via a strut member.

The present invention relates to a holding device for holding an optical implant on a wall area in an eye interior of an eye, comprising at least one retaining component, by which a contact pressure can be exerted on the wall area and thereby the at least one retaining component can be supported on the wall area. Therein, the at least one retaining component has at least one protrusion region, from which at least one protrusion element extends away, which is designed to, when the contact pressure is exerted, penetrate at least regionally into a wall area tissue of the wall area and/or to exert punctiform pressure on the wall area. The invention further relates to an optical device.

The present disclosure provides an ophthalmic article. The ophthalmic article may comprise a biocompatible matrix comprising a copolymer derived from a caprolactone monomer and at least one other monomer. The ophthalmic article may also comprise an active agent or a diagnostic agent. The ophthalmic article may be configured to associate to a haptic of an intraocular lens (IOL).

A fastening device for fixing an intraocular lens having protruding support elements in the eye of a patient comprises at least one tip suitable for penetrating the human ciliary body and preferably suitable for penetrating the human sclera and is connected or connectable to a protruding support element.

Accommodating intraocular lenses and methods of use. The accommodating intraocular lenses include peripheral regions that are adapted to be more responsive to certain types of forces than to other types of forces. For example, the accommodating intraocular lenses can include haptics that are stiffer in an anterior-to-posterior direction than in a radial direction.

Provided herein are devices used to reconstruct a natural lens capsule after a cataract surgery. The device has a ring-shaped rigid component, a ring-shaped flexible component and a groove disposed on an inner surface of the rigid component. The device also may have a ledge disposed on an inner surface of the flexible component. The rigid component has a distal end attached to the ring-shaped flexible component and a proximal end that lies against Wieger's ligament when fitted within the natural lens capsule. The ring-shaped flexible component has a proximal end that is attached to the distal end of the rigid component and a distal end that contacts an anterior surface of the natural lens capsule when fitted therein. The groove is disposed to receive optics of an intraocular lens and/or the ledge is disposed to secure haptics thereof.

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.
