PROSTHETIC CAPSULAR DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
A prosthetic capsular device configured to be inserted in an eye includes a housing structure and a ring structure. The housing structure includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a third side, a fourth side opposite the third side, a posterior side including a refractive surface, an anterior side opposite the posterior side, and a longitudinal axis. The first side, the second side, the third side, the fourth side, the posterior side, and the anterior side at least partially define a cavity configured to contain an intraocular device (e.g., an IOL). The anterior side includes an opening. The ring structure includes a ring structure portion extending radially outward from proximate one of an end of the first side and an end of the second side.
Modular intraocular lens designs, tools and methods
Modular IOL systems including a base and a lens, wherein the lens includes fixed and actuatable tabs for connection to the base. The modular IOL allows for the lens to be adjusted or exchanged while leaving the base in place, either intra-operatively or post-operatively. Drug delivery capabilities and/or sensing capabilities may be incorporated into the base. Injector devices may be used to facilitate placement of the base and the lens sequentially or simultaneously into the eye.
Intraocular lens system
Lens support structure for supporting an intraocular lens (IOL) is provided, the lens support structure being configured and operable to be securely implanted in a lens capsule of a human eye and hold the IOL in one of a plurality of positions, the support structure comprising a repositioning assembly configured and operable to be activated remotely by a remote energy source and controllably displace the IOL in at least one of directions along and around an optical axis of the IOL, thereby enabling moving the IOL between the plurality of positions. Lens control system is also provided, the control system comprising the lens support structure and a source energy for activating parts thereof. Intraocular lens system is also provided, the system comprising the lens support structure and a lens integrated therein.
DELIVERY DEVICES FOR IMPLANTATION OF INTRAOCULAR LENS SUPPORT DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE
An insertion tool for delivering an implantable lens support device into an eye having a proximal end region; a distal end region having a distal hook; and an intermediate region connecting the distal end region to the proximal end region, the intermediate region being substantially planar. The distal end region and intermediate region are sized for insertion through a clear corneal incision. Related tools, methods, and devices are provided.
LENSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR REDUCING NEGATIVE DYSPHOTOPSIA
Apparatuses, systems, and methods directed to reducing negative dysphotopsia in an individual's eye. Such apparatuses, systems, and methods may include determining an angle kappa of an individual's eye. Such apparatuses, systems, and methods further include tilt adjustable intraocular lenses.
VARIABLE THICKNESS DYNAMIC MEMBRANE FOR ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENSES
Intraocular lenses having an anterior optic with a central, dynamic zone configured to undergo shape change for accommodation that has a differential thickness gradient between a posterior surface and an anterior surface. Related devices and methods are provided.
INTRAOCULAR PSEUDOPHAKIC CONTACT LENS WITH MECHANISM FOR SECURING BY ANTERIOR LEAFLET OF CAPSULAR WALL AND RELATED SYSTEM AND METHOD
An apparatus includes an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens having an optical lens and haptics extending radially from the optical lens. The haptics are configured to be inserted under an anterior leaflet of a capsular wall in an eye in order to capture and confine the haptics under the anterior leaflet. Anterior surfaces of the haptics are configured to contact an inner capsular wall surface at the anterior leaflet. Posterior surfaces of the haptics include ridges configured to contact at least one edge of an artificial intraocular lens and capture the artificial intraocular lens between the ridges. The anterior surface of each haptic includes one or more divots or holes.
INTRAOCULAR LENS
An intraocular lens comprising an optic and four haptics extending from the optic, each haptic having a proximal end meeting with the optic at differing points about a periphery of the optic. The four haptics are arranged into a first pair comprising two arcuate haptics with curvature orientated toward each other such that a distal end of each of the two haptics of the first pair are in nearer relation than their proximal ends; and, a second pair comprising two arcuate haptics with curvature orientated toward each other such that a distal end of each of the two haptics of the second pair are in nearer relation than their proximal end.
Artificial eye lens with diffractive grating structure and method for producing an artificial eye lens
An artificial eye lens (1) having an optical part (2) which has a first optical side (4) and an opposite, second optical side (5). The optical part (2) has a diffractive grating structure that contributes to an optical imaging property of the optical part (2). The diffractive grating structure is an amplitude grating (6) formed in the optical part (2) as a laser structure. A method for producing an artificial eye lens (1) where the amplitude grating (6) is produced with a laser apparatus (17), and a pulsed laser beam (22) having a pulse length of between 100 fs and 20 ps, a wavelength of between 320 nm and 1100 nm, a pulse repetition rate of between 1 kHz and 10 MHz, a focus diameter of less than 5 μm, and a power density of greater than 10.sup.6 W/cm.sup.2.
Intraocular lens with tilted optical axis
An intraocular lens (IOL) with an optical axis is disclosed. Two or more haptics extend from an optical element defining an anterior plane and a parallel posterior plane. The optical axis is tilted at an angle of about 5 degrees with respect to the anterior and posterior planes.
