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.

A modular intraocular lens (IOL) with a ring configured to prevent glare artifacts. The ring includes a flange on the posterior rim, in which an anterior surface on the flange has a first profile and a posterior surface of the flange has a second profile non-parallel with the first profile. Non-parallel surfaces of the flange can be configured to defocus light transmitted at off-axis angles through an optic and the flange.

An accommodating intraocular lens assembly can include first stanchions, a forward optic, second stanchions, an intermediate member, third stanchions, fourth stanchions, and an aft optic. Each stanchion can extend between a base end and a distal end. The forward optic can be connected with the distal ends of the first stanchions. The intermediate member can be connected with the distal ends of the second stanchions and of the third stanchions. The aft optic can be connected with the distal ends of the fourth stanchions.

An intraocular lens (IOL) based on a metasurface, includes: a front optical lens, a rear optical lens, an equatorial plane, and an optical loop. The front optical lens and the rear optical lens are connected through the equatorial plane. The optical loop is connected with the equatorial plane. A metasurface structure is arranged on the equatorial plane. The metasurface structure includes a plurality of nanostructure units with a phase distribution of a planar axicon lens. A Gaussian beam is generated based on a biconvex lens structure of a conventional IOL, and the phase distribution of the planar axicon lens is loaded through a geometric phase of the metasurface structure, such that a Bessel-Gaussian beam is generated. When the beam is propagated in a free space, a cross section of the beam is not changed along with a propagation distance, such that the Bessel-Gaussian beam keeps a relatively consistent focal plane within a certain propagation distance, thereby realizing characteristics of long focal depth, adjustable refraction, and achromatism.

Bifurcated haptic aligner actuators (BHAAs) have an anterior and a posterior lens support ring to each of which is pivotively attached a plurality of center-pivoted struts, at least two of which comprise an opposing pair, and to each of the opposing pair of struts is pivotably attached a bifurcated haptic, one haptic branch being pivotably attached to the anterior part of a strut, the other branch of the same haptic being similarly attached to the posterior part of the same strut.

The invention is directed to an intraocular lens having an optical body, two haptic elements and first and second sets of a plurality of ropes corresponding to respective ones of the first and second haptic elements. The ropes are secured to the optical body and to the haptic element and have a severing sequence. The haptic elements each have a compressed state, a partly compressed state and an uncompressed state. In the compressed state, the first rope of the severing sequence is configured to deform the haptic element in a direction toward the optical body as a result of which the first rope is under a tensile stress and the rest of the ropes are stress-free and, by the ropes being severed successively in the severing sequence, the haptic element can be brought firstly to the partly compressed state. All the ropes are severed in the uncompressed state.

An accommodative intraocular lens for implantation in an eye within a natural capsular bag includes a first lens part with an optical body transparent to light and defining an optical axis, front and rear optical body surfaces, haptics connected permanently to the optical body and designed to come into engagement with the capsular bag, a flexible membrane connected permanently to the haptics or the optical body, the membrane having a center axis which runs congruently or parallel to the optical axis and is transparent to light, and a second lens part with a hollow cylinder which can be positioned with a proximal end on the front membrane surface of the first lens part such that the hollow cylinder and the membrane can be displaced along the optical axis towards the front optical body surface and thus the rear membrane surface undergoes a change in the radius of curvature thereof.

Accommodating intraocular (AIOL) assemblies for enabling post implantation in situ manual selective displacement of an AIOL along a human eye's visual axis relative to stationary anchor points. Axial displacement may be over a continuous range or alternatively at discrete axial stopping positions typically from about 100 μm to about 300 μm apart. Novels AIOLs designed to be at least partially folded for facilitating insertion into a human eye through a relatively small incision.

A suspension system for suspending an intra-ocular lens in the lens capsule of an eye has one or more collapsible cavities formed in the suspension system, each having at least one opening communicating the interior of the cavity with fluid from the interior of the eye, wherein the walls of the cavity exhibit sufficient structural elasticity that they return to their habitual shapes after being compressed by external force.
