A method for implanting an eye implant into an eye of an individual or patient includes the steps of making a corneal incision of the eye, inserting the eye implant into the eye through the corneal incision and securing the eye implant so that the eye implant is bounded by an edge of the pupil and an iridocorneal angle of an anterior chamber of the eye.

An eye implant has a body including (a) a receiver, (b) a first mounting clip and (c) a second mounting clip. The receiver is adapted to hold an intraocular device to be implanted in an eye. The receiver, the first mounting clip and the second mounting clip generally extend along a common arc.

An apparatus includes an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens having an optical lens and haptics extending radially from the optical lens and 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 and secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens against an artificial intraocular lens in the eye. 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 capture at least one edge of the artificial intraocular lens in order to secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens to the artificial intraocular lens. Different portions of the optical lens provide different amounts of magnification such that a first portion of the optical lens provides a first amount of magnification and a second portion of the optical lens provides a second amount of magnification.

An apparatus includes an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens having an optical lens and haptics extending radially from the optical lens and 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 include capsular wall-engaging surfaces configured to contact an inner capsular wall surface at the anterior leaflet, where the capsular wall-engaging surfaces are configured to promote confinement, capture, or attachment of the haptics. Posterior surfaces of the haptics include ridges configured to capture at least one edge of an artificial intraocular lens in order to secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens to the artificial intraocular lens.

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) that improve lens stability by, for example, increasing anterior-posterior stiffness of the IOL, increasing anterior-posterior dimensions of the IOL and/or increasing contact area with the equator of the bag to resist movement of the IOL as the bag collapses over time. These IOLs may be non-modular (single component) or modular (multiple component). In modular embodiments, the IOL system may include intraocular base and optic components, which, when combined, form a modular IOL.

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.

A multi-part intraocular lens (IOL) with an interchangeable optic seated on a base and secured by a locking mechanism. The optic comprises an anterior surface with a diameter greater than a diameter of a ring of the base. The posterior side of the optic has a posterior surface, a transition region for contact with the base, and sidewalls and tabs radially outward of the transition region. The sidewalls and tabs overlap at least a portion of the ring to reduce or even prevent decentration and tilt of the optic. Each tab has a lateral extension for coupling to the base.

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 and secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens against an artificial intraocular lens in the eye. 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 capture at least one edge of the artificial intraocular lens in order to secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens to the artificial intraocular lens.

An apparatus includes an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens having an optical lens and haptics extending radially from the optical lens and configured to contact a capsular bag in an eye in order to secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens against an artificial intraocular lens. The optical lens includes a central portion and at least one annular portion surrounding the central portion, where the central and annular portions are configured to provide different optical powers. The central portion of the optical lens may be configured to provide an optical magnification, and the at least one annular portion of the optical lens may be configured to provide at least one different optical magnification or no optical magnification.

An intraocular drug delivery platform for use with an intraocular lens assembly. The platform includes a ring and haptics to maintain the ring in position in the capsular bag, compartments on the anterior surface of the ring for accommodating a drug eluting matrix or other drug mass, and a skirt extending posteriorly from the posterior surface of the ring to constrain movement, including lateral or inferior/superior movement, of the intraocular lens relative to the ring.
