An intraocular device that includes a fluid lens is provided. The fluid lens has an anterior side and posterior side that can be coupled together to form a closed cavity therebetween that can be filled with a liquid material. A channel can be formed in the posterior side that is configured to receive a joining substance that bonds the anterior side to the posterior side and inhibit the unintended spread of the joining substance. A syringe can be extended through a port in the fluid lens to flow liquid material into the closed cavity. Subsequently, a plug can be inserted into the port to prevent the escape of the liquid material.

An accommodating (re-focusable) lens system a body of which includes, upon being assembled, first and second individual lenslets having first and second optical portions sequentially disposed along an optical axis. Change in optical-power accommodation of the system is achieved by changing an applanated area of contact between the lenslets in response to force applied to the lenslets and transformed into an axial force. In specific case, the first and second lenslets form an intraocular lens (IOL) and have respective haptic portions, interlocked as a result of rotating of one lenslet with respect to another such as to bring first and second lenslets in contact at an axial point. The applanated area of contact is changed, then, in response to a radially-directed force caused by a change of distance between the interlocked ends of the haptics and transferred to the optical portions through the interlocked haptics. When installed in a natural lens capsule after the cataract extraction, the optical power of such IOL is gradually modifiable due to a change of curvature of the capsule caused by operation of a ciliary muscle.

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 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.

An accommodative intraocular lens includes an optic body having an optical power changing structure. There are two supporting structures disposed opposite one another about the optic body, each supporting structure configured to be connected at a distal end to a ciliary body after implantation in an eye of a patient and connected at a proximal end to the optic body. The two supporting structures are a zeroing supporting structure and an actuating supporting structure. The zeroing supporting structure is configured to not change the optical power of the optic body in an installation mode and an operation mode of the accommodative intraocular lens. An actuating supporting structure is configured to not change the optical power of the optic body in the installation mode but is configured to change the optical power of the optic body in the operation mode of the accommodative intraocular lens.

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.

An accommodative intraocular lens includes a first lens part, a haptic, and a flexible membrane. The flexible membrane is arranged adjacent to a distal optical body surface, delimits a cavity together with the distal optical body surface and is transparent to light. A second lens part has a hollow cylinder coupled releasably to the first lens part, as a result of which the intraocular lens can be brought into a coupling state in which the second lens part is arranged on a distal side of the first lens part and the hollow cylinder is configured to deform the membrane by a longitudinal displacement of the hollow cylinder parallel to the optical axis. The hollow cylinder has on its exterior an outer face and a bearing face arranged adjacent to a proximal end of the outer face and encloses, with the outer face, an angle of less than 180°.

An intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises an optical structure and a haptic structure. The optical structure comprises a planar member, a plano convex member, and a fluid optical element defined between the planar member and the plano convex member. The fluid optical element has an optical power. The haptic structure couples the planar member and the plano convex member together at a peripheral portion of the optical structure. The haptic structure comprises a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the fluid optical element and a peripheral structure for interfacing to the lens capsule. Shape changes of the lens capsule cause one or more of volume or shape changes to the fluid optical element in correspondence to deformations in the planar member to modify the optical power of the fluid optical element.

An intra-ocular lens having an air-filled collapsible cavity situated between two optical elements wherein air is transferred from optical regions of the collapsible cavity to its peripheral haptic regions after being compressed by external force.

An accommodating intraocular lens device for treatment of an eye having a lens body; internal support; stabilization system; and force translation arm. The lens body includes an accommodating membrane, an annular element, a static element, and a fixed volume of optical fluid filling a sealed chamber of the lens body. The annular element coupled to the perimeter of the accommodating membrane has a shape deformation membrane configured to undergo displacement relative to the perimeter region. The sealed chamber is formed by inner surfaces of the accommodating membrane, shape deformation membrane, and static element. The force translation arm has a first end operatively coupled to the shape deformation membrane and a free end available and configured to engage a ciliary structure of the eye. The force translation arm is moveable relative to the lens body to cause inward movement of the shape deformation membrane. Related methods, devices, and systems are provided.

An intraocular lens (IOL) with a shape-changing optic is provided. The shape-changing optic includes an elastic anterior face located anterior to the equator. The anterior face has an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and a periphery. The shape-changing optic also includes a posterior face having an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and a periphery. An elastic side wall can extend across the equator and extend from the anterior face to the posterior face. A chamber can be located between the anterior face and the posterior face. The IOL can further include at least one haptic extending from the periphery of the anterior face, the periphery of the posterior face, or both.
