An ophthalmic device includes an optic and a haptic structure coupled with the optic. The optic includes an optic axis. The haptic structure is coupled to the optic. The haptic structure retains the ophthalmic device within a capsular bag of a patient's eye. At least a portion of the haptic structure has a cross-section and a peripheral surface forming an outer periphery of a portion of the cross-section. At least a portion of the peripheral surface contacts the capsular bag and is smoothly curved.

Provided is an intraocular lens having an optical body and having at least one haptic element coupled to the optical body, wherein the at least one haptic element has a first haptic component and at least a second haptic component formed adjacent thereto, which is movable elastically relative to the first haptic component, and having a principal optical axis that penetrates through a front side and a reverse side of the optical body, wherein the haptic element, measured in the direction of the principal optical axis, has a maximum of a first height, wherein the second haptic component is displaceable relative to the first haptic component from a non-spread position to a spread position in such a way that the haptic element, measured in the direction of the principal optical axis, attains a maximum of a second height which is greater than the first height, and, in the spread position, the second haptic component can be locked in place relative to the first haptic component, wherein the first haptic component has at least a first spreading element, and the second haptic component has at least a second spreading element, wherein the first spreading element and the second spreading element, viewed in circumferential direction around the principal optical axis, at least in the spread position, are in a mutually overlapping arrangement and directly adjacent to one another at least in some regions.

An accommodating intraocular lens includes a lens capsule expansion bag placed in a lens capsule whose anterior capsule has been incised in ophthalmic surgery. An intraocular lens is placed in the lens capsule expansion bag. The lens capsule expansion bag includes an anterior bag portion in contact with an anterior capsule, a posterior bag portion in contact with a posterior capsule, and an intermediate bag portion in contact with an equator. The intraocular lens includes an optical portion and a support portion. The support portion includes an anterior support portion in contact with the anterior bag portion and a posterior support portion in contact with the posterior bag portion. In response to the movement of the lens capsule, the lens capsule expansion bag deforms. The anterior support portion of the intraocular lens greatly deflects or returns accordingly, whereby the optical portion is largely moved in the anterior-posterior direction.

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 one or more folds of the bellows 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 when the eye accommodates.

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 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.

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

An IOL utilizes a haptic formed as a toroid portion configured to fit into a capsular bag of an aphakic eye of a patient. The toroid portion may be separate from an IOL optic and may include a receiving feature for the IOL optic. The toroid portion may be configured for intraoperative fluid-filling for snug fitting at the equator of the capsular bag, in order to immobilize the IOL optic.

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 intraocular onlay includes a body with an optic portion and feet, the optic portion includes an anterior surface and a posterior surface, an annular mask of a selected optical opacity forming a pinhole, and a second optically transparent region exterior to the annular mask, where the feet extend from optic portion to be positioned within a capsular bag and rest on top of an existing intraocular lens that is located in the capsular bag.

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.
