An intraocular lens has an optic body, a haptic element mounted on the optic body and having a haptic curvature and a plurality of recesses on the side of the haptic element facing the optic body, a first actuator configured to reversibly change the haptic curvature of the haptic element such that the haptic element is moved away from the optic body from a rest position, a brace arm mounted on the optic body and the longitudinal brace arm end which is configured to be provided a recess when the haptic element is in the rest position, and a second actuator configured to reversibly change, with a change in a property of the second actuator, a brace arm curvature of the brace arm such that the recess in which the longitudinal brace arm end is to be provided can be adjusted with the property of the second actuator.

An intraocular support system is provided. This apparatus provides support when natural support structures are absent, diminished, or damaged. The apparatus may include a base that inserts into the internal scleral wall in the sulcus in an arched fashion that does not perforate the external scleral wall. It may be self-retaining with barb protrusions. It may include stabilizers that rest on the ciliary body. The base may include a modular junction that allows interchangeable extensions. The extensions may provide varied functions including intraocular lens support, capsular bag support, and accommodation. It may be applied in acute surgical conditions or in planned cases.

A tonic lens guide comprises a substantially linear bar member and a pair of crab claw members fixedly attached to opposite ends of the linear bar member. The toric lens guide is adapted to be mounted upon an intraocular lens (IOL) which has been implanted within the capsular bag of a human eye during cataract surgery such that the substantially linear bar member is adapted to be disposed atop the central optic component of the intraocular lens (IOL) while the crab claw members effectively grasp the optica/haptic junctions of the intraocular lens (IOL). After the intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted within the capsular bag, it is rotated within the capsular bag such that the substantially linear bar member of the toric lens guide will effectively define a diametrical vector across the intraocular lens (IOL) such that the cataract surgeon can precisely orient the intraocular lens (IOL) within the capsular bag such that the patient's astigmatism is optimally corrected.

Provided is an intraocular lens having at least one optical part and having a haptic coupled to the optical part, and having an optical principal axis that passes through a front side and a back side of the optical part, the haptic comprising at least one haptic loop, wherein a coupling element of the intraocular lens is integrated on the haptic loop and a mating coupling element of the intraocular lens is integrated on the optical part or on a connector coupled to the optical part, the coupling element being formed for direct coupling to the mating coupling element and, in the coupled state of coupling element and mating coupling element, an outer edge segment of the haptic loop being arranged at a radially shorter distance from the optical part than in the case of the uncoupled state of coupling element and mating coupling element.

The invention relates to an intraocular lens comprising an optics body and a haptic which has a first component with a latching protrusion and a second component with a latching recess, the latching protrusion and the latching recess being arranged at a distance from one another when the haptic is arranged in a relaxed state and being configured to engage with one another when, proceeding from the relaxed state, the haptic is moved in the direction of the optics body into a completely compressed state of the haptic via a partially compressed state of the haptic, the haptic being formed by a single piece and having a haptic cutout which is delimited by the first component and the second component.

Provided is an intraocular lens having an optical body and having at least one haptic element coupled to the optical body, wherein the at least one haptic element has a first haptic component and at least a second haptic component formed adjacent thereto, which is movable elastically relative to the first haptic component, and having a principal optical axis that penetrates through a front side and a reverse side of the optical body, wherein the haptic element, measured in the direction of the principal optical axis, has a maximum of a first height, wherein the second haptic component is displaceable relative to the first haptic component from a non-spread position to a spread position in such a way that the haptic element, measured in the direction of the principal optical axis, attains a maximum of a second height which is greater than the first height, and, in the spread position, the second haptic component can be locked in place relative to the first haptic component, wherein the first haptic component has at least a first spreading element, and the second haptic component has at least a second spreading element, wherein the first spreading element and the second spreading element, viewed in circumferential direction around the principal optical axis, at least in the spread position, are in a mutually overlapping arrangement and directly adjacent to one another at least in some regions.

Described is a refractive phakic lens that has haptics extending away from the optical portion and in which the haptics have a compressible and release portion in the form of reversed undulation shape and at the end of the reversed undulation is a haptic pad that contacts the sulcus. Also, there is a rim structure on the posterior surface of the optic member which extend circumferentially but has interruption. Also, there is an opening at the optical axis of the lens member. Thereby fluid can flow through the opening and through the interruptions.

Provided herein are devices used to reconstruct a natural lens capsule after a cataract surgery. The device has a ring-shaped rigid component, a ring-shaped flexible component and a groove disposed on an inner surface of the rigid component. The rigid component has a distal end attached to the ring-shaped flexible component and a proximal end that lies against Wieger's ligament when fitted within the natural lens capsule. The ring-shaped flexible component has a proximal end that is attached to the distal end of the rigid component and a distal end that contacts an anterior surface of the natural lens capsule when fitted therein. The groove is disposed to receive optics of an intraocular lens and/or the ledge is disposed to secure haptics thereof.
