Reversibly deformable corneal implants for replacing excised corneal tissue, the implants including an optical portion and an anchoring portion having different mechanical properties from each other.

A system for delivering an intraocular lens (IOL) is disclosed, including: a handpiece including a barrel defining an elongate passage, a pushrod disposed inside the elongate passage, and a plunger coupled to the pushrod; and a delivery unit coupled to a first end of the barrel, the delivery unit including a delivery tube and a lens holder coupled to the delivery tube, the lens holder including a lead haptic shelf arranged to receive a lead haptic of an IOL that is contained inside the lens holder, wherein the lead haptic shelf is configured to fold the lead haptic of the IOL over a body of the IOL while permitting the IOL to travel under the lead haptic shelf when the IOL is displaced from the lens holder to the delivery tube by the pushrod during delivery of the IOL into a patient's eye.

Intraocular implants and methods of making intraocular implants are provided. The intraocular implant can include a lens body having a lens material and a mask having a mask material. The lens body can be secured to the mask. The mask material can include a modulus of elasticity that is greater than or equal to a modulus of elasticity of the lens material.

A device and method for forming an adaptive optic in the capsule of a human eye is disclosed, comprising a capsular interface enclosing an optically acceptable medium. The device establishes a physiologic range of optical power in response to a range of ciliary contractile states.

An intraocular lens includes a substantially circular lens element formed of a transparent material and one or more haptics extending outwardly from an outer edge of the lens element. The one or more haptics are formed of a polymer foam material having a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) and are configured to couple the intraocular lens to an eye of a patient. The lens includes an inner region having a first index of refraction and an outer region disposed circumferentially surrounding the inner region, the outer region having a second index of refraction different from the first index of refraction.

An intraocular device that includes a bas member is provided. The device can be an accommodation intraocular lens device with the base member and a power changing lens. The base member comprises an annular haptic that surrounds a central cavity having an open end. The power changing lens is configured to fit within the central cavity. The haptic comprises one or more projections, e.g., tabs that hold another device in position. In the case of the accommodating intraocular lens device, the other device is the power changing lens. The base member and the power changing lens are maintained separate until assembly in the eye of the patient. During assembly, the base member is advanced into the capsular bag of a patient through a capsulorhexis and oriented such that the open end of the central cavity faces the cornea. Subsequently, the power changing lens is advanced into the central cavity through the capsulorhexis. The one or more tabs are placed anterior of the power changing lens to secure the power changing lens within the cavity.

A diffractive eye lens having a front side, a rear side and an optical main axis, wherein the front side and/or the rear side has a spherical, an aspherical, a spherical-toric or an aspherical-toric basic shape, and the front side and/or the rear side has a diffractive optical structure. The diffractive eye lens allows for color correction and simultaneously improves visual properties by reducing a halo. The diffractive optical structure in a first lens region is designed such that, at a design wavelength, there is a significant diffraction efficiency for a phase deviation between the first main sub-zones of more than one wavelength and, for the first lens region, On average over all diffraction zones, a proportion of the main sub-zones on the diffraction zones is for example at least 94%, at least 95% and at best nearly 100%.
