Methods and apparatuses to increase intraocular lenses positional stability
A multi-piece IOL assembly is provided that includes a platform and an optic. The platform has an inner periphery surrounding an inner zone of the platform. The optic has an optical zone, an outer periphery and a retention mechanism disposed on the outer periphery. The optic is configured to be disposed in the inner zone of the platform and to extend to a location between the inner periphery and the outer periphery of the platform to be secured to the platform at the location. The platform can be secured to an inner periphery of the eye or can be formed into a natural lens by cutting the lens using a laser or other energy source.
In-situ adjustable intraocular lens
The present disclosure provides an intraocular lens (IOL) or ophthalmic device including an optic and at least one haptic, at least a portion of which is formed from a photoresponsive shape memory polymer network, such as a polydomain azo liquid crystalline polymer network (PD-LCN). The present disclosure further provides systems and methods for adjusting the position of such an IOL or other ophthalmic device using polarized laser radiation.
Accommodating Intraocular Lens with Rigid Tapered Flanges
Disclosed are accommodating intraocular lenses with a variable power lens and a lens driver coupled to the variable power lens. The driver is arranged to be, at least partially, positioned in an accommodative structure of the eye, for example the sulcus of the eye or the capsular bag of the eye with the driver including a tapered flange which tapers towards its peripheral free end to provide translation of constrictive movement of the accommodative structure in an axial direction into movement onto the variable power lens in a lateral direction.
ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENS
An intraocular lens includes an optical portion and a support portion. The optical portion has an anterior optical plate portion and a posterior optical plate portion arranged on the anterior and posterior sides of the lens capsule. An optical body portion is arranged between the anterior optical plate portion and the posterior optical plate portion. The support portion has an outer support plate portion. An anterior support plate portion extends inwardly from an anterior end portion of the outer support plate portion and connects to a peripheral portion of an anterior optical plate portion of optical portion. A posterior support plate portion extends inwardly from a posterior end portion of the outer support plate portion and connects to a peripheral portion of a posterior optical plate portion of the optical portion. The anterior support plate portion and the posterior support plate portion extend inward and rearward or inward and forward.
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.
Light control devices and methods for regional variation of visual information and sampling
Exemplary light control devices and methods provide a regional variation of visual information and sampling (“V-VIS”) of an ocular field of view that improves or stabilizes vision, ameliorates a visual symptom, reduces the rate of vision loss, or reduces the progression of an ophthalmic or neurologic condition, disease, injury or disorder. The V-VIS devices and methods generate a moving aperture effect anterior to a retina that samples and delivers to the retina environmental light from an ocular field of view at a sampling rate between 50 hertz and 50 kilohertz. Certain of these V-VIS devices and methods may be combined with augmented or virtual reality, vision measurement, vision monitoring, or other therapies including, but not limited to, pharmacological, gene, retinal replacement and stem cell therapies.
Haptic combinations for accommodating intraocular lenses
A haptic combination comprising at least one optical element adapted to provide at least two optical functions including provision of a fixed optical power and provision of variable optical power. The haptic combination comprises at least a first haptic adapted to provide anchoring and positioning of at least one of the optical elements and at least a second haptic adapted to provide transfer of movement from at least one driving means in the eye to at least one of the optical elements. Movement of the second haptic is independent from movement of the first haptic.
INTRAOCULAR LENS SYSTEM, INTRAOCULAR LENS AND CILIAR BODY IMPLANT
An intraocular lens system for implantation in an eye is provided. The intraocular lens system has a ciliary body implant with a ciliary magnet element, the ciliary body implant being implantable in the eye such that the ciliary magnet element at least partially follows the movements of the ciliary body of the eye. The intraocular lens system also includes an intraocular lens with a lens magnet element. The ciliary body implant and the intraocular lens are formed separately from each other and the intraocular lens system is adapted to control a refractive effect of the intraocular lens via an interaction between the ciliary magnet element and the lens magnet element in the eye. The disclosure also relates to a ciliary body implant and an intraocular lens.
Adjustable accommodating intraocular lens and positioning means
An accommodating intraocular artificial lens with variable optical power, comprising two optical elements which are adapted to mutually shift in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis wherein the optical elements have such a shape that the optical elements exhibit, in combination, different optical powers at different relative positions. Flanges are adapted to position the anterior section of the haptics in the sulcus of the eye or, alternatively, the ciliary body is enclosed by a combination of anterior and posterior flanges. Also disclosed are methods to provide for an accommodating intraocular lens which is adjustable post-implant to ensure emmetropia of the eye.
Accommodating Intraocular Lens with Combination of Variable Aberrations for Extension of Depth of Field
The invention relates to an accommodating intraocular lens, having an optical axis (3), with the lens comprising at least two optical elements (1, 2), and haptics to allow mutual translation of said elements (1, 2) in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis (3), in which at least two of the elements (1, 2) each comprising free-form optical surfaces. The invention also relates to a combination of such lens and an apparatus adapted for measuring the optical power of an eye.
