Dual optic, curvature changing accommodative IOL
The present disclosure concerns a curvature-changing, accommodative intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation in the capsular bag of a patient's eye. The IOL includes a fluid optic body having a cavity for containing an optical fluid, the cavity at least partially defined by a sidewall extending around the cavity and defining a diameter of the cavity and a deformable optical membrane intersecting the sidewall around a circumference of the sidewall and spanning the diameter of the cavity. The IOL further includes a second optic body spaced a distance apart from the fluid optic body and a plurality of struts extending from the sidewall and coupling the fluid optic body to the second optic body. The struts are configured such that axial compression of the capsular bag causes the struts to deform the sidewall in a manner that increases the diameter of the cavity, modifying a curvature of the deformable optical membrane.
Intraocular lens and haptic for intraocular lens
An intraocular lens 1 includes a lens 2 and a haptic 3 connected to the lens 2. The lens 2 is disposed behind an iris 7 in an eye of a patient. The haptic 3 has a main body 3a and first and second projections 3d and 3e. The main body 3a extends from the lens 2 outward in a radial direction about a visual axis C of the patient. The first and second projections 3d and 3e are located so as to project from the main body 3a toward spaces between a plurality of ciliary zonules 10 connecting a crystalline lens 11 and a ciliary body 8 in the eye. Accordingly, an intraocular lens and a haptic for an intraocular lens that are able to inhibit the position of a lens from being displaced are provided.
OPHTHALMIC DEVICES, SYSTEM AND METHODS THAT IMPROVE PERIPHERAL VISION
The present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods for improving or optimizing peripheral vision. In particular, various IOL designs, as well as IOL implantation locations, are disclosed which improve or optimize peripheral vision.

Intraocular lens
An intraocular lens comprising a lens optic coupled to at least one haptic and at least one deformable connecting bar positioned between the lens optic and the at least one haptic. The lens is designed to provide uncorrected vision for distance, intermediate and near vision.
Accommodative intraocular lens
An accommodating intraocular lens implant is provided that is shaped so as to be assemblable into an assembled state in situ in a capsular bag of a human eye, and includes an anterior floating lens unit, which comprises an anterior lens; a posterior lens unit, which comprises a posterior lens; an anterior rim; levers, arranged to move the anterior floating lens unit toward and away from the anterior rim, in an anterior-posterior direction; and a circumferential rim, which is attached to the levers. The lens implant is arranged such that in the assemble state: elastic potential energy is stored in the lens implant as a result of deformation of the lens implant during a transition from a fully-accommodated state to a fully-unaccommodated state, and at least 50% of the elastic potential energy stored in the lens implant as the result of the deformation is stored in the circumferential rim.
HYBRID ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENS ASSEMBLAGES
Hybrid Accommodating Intra Ocular Lens (AIOL) assemblages including two discrete component parts in the form of a discrete base member for initial implantation in a vacated capsular bag and a discrete lens unit for subsequent implantation in the vacated capsular bag for anchoring to the discrete base member. The lens unit includes a lens optics having at least two lens haptics radially outwardly extending therefrom. The base member includes a flat circular base member centerpiece having zero optical power.
MULTI-PIECE ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENSES AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING SAME
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 fold(s) 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. A third lens component coupled to the first or second component provides additional optical power.
ARTIFICIAL ACCOMMODATING LENS COMPLEX
The present invention provides an arrangement (600) for an artificial eye lens. The arrangement comprises at least two ring-shaped elements (610) and a plurality of arched ribs (620). The plurality of arched ribs connects the two ring-shaped elements. The ring-shaped elements and plurality of arched ribs form a space for housing the artificial eye lens. The ring-shaped elements arc moveable with respect to each other along a common axis (x). It comprises further a collapsible tape (64) for define a maximum range of deformation of the arrangement.
Intraocular Lenses for Reducing Peripheral Pseudophakic Dysphotopsia
An intraocular lens comprising: an optic zone; and a control zone positioned peripherally relative to the optic zone and configured to reduce, minimize, and/or eliminate negative peripheral pseudophakic dysphotopsia (PPD) and/or reduce, minimize, and/or eliminate posterior capsular opacification (PCO).
