Accommodating intraocular lens

Номер: US20120078364A1
Автор: Donald C. Stenger
Принадлежит: Individual

An Accommodating Intraocular Lens (AIOL) is disclosed herein, that is comprised of a flexible optic and a flexible haptic rim that conforms to the human eye capsule. The spherical or custom shape of the optic is engineered to be maintained during accommodation through the mechanical/optic design of the implant and the interaction between the implant and the naturally occurring position and actuating forces applied through ciliary muscles/zonules/and capsule as the brain senses the need to increase the diopter change or magnification when an object of fixation approaches the eye. The axial relocation or position of the AIOL may also be further adjusted anatomically to further improve the affect needed to achieve improved accommodation. Optionally, the Accommodating Intraocular Lens (AIOL) is foldable or injectable for delivery of the lens into the eye.

Pre-stressed haptic for accommodating intraocular lens

Номер: US20130030525A1
Принадлежит: Abbott Medical Optics Inc

An intraocular lens is disclosed, with an optic that changes shape in response to a deforming force exerted by the zonules of the eye. A haptic supports the optic around its equator and couples the optic to the capsular bag of the eye. The haptic may be pre-stressed before the optic is placed within it. After such placement, the pre-stress may be relieved, and the haptic may produce stress in the optic. The pre-stress may produce a radial tension or a radial compression in the optic. Alternatively, once the optic is placed within the haptic, both may undergo a process that changes the size and/or shape of one with respect to the other, causing a stress within the optic. This process may produce a radial tension or a radial compression in the optic. The haptic may include an annular ring having outer and inner diameters that may depend on the stiffness of the haptic.

An intraocular lens has a polymeric optic defined by a harder posterior layer and a softer anterior layer. Haptics having a fulcrum attached to the posterior layer and a resistance arm attached to the anterior layer are provided. A bias is provided to the haptic to rotate the haptics about the fulcrum and cause the resistance arm to deform the softer anterior layer about the harder posterior layer to increase the optical power of the lens. As the haptic rotates, it axially displaces the optic anteriorly to additionally increase the optical power. The optical power is adjustable in response to stresses induced by the eye. The haptics are subject to a pre-bias that urges the haptics to rotate or bend about the fulcrum. Temporary restraints are provided to the haptics to retain a stressed shape of the lens against the bias during a post-implantation healing period.

A method of altering a refractive property of a crosslinked acrylic polymer material by irradiating the material with a high energy pulsed laser beam to change its refractive index.
