| 20100094415 | INTRAOCULAR LENS AND CAPSULAR RING - A device includes a plurality of ringlets connected together to form a ring having a longitudinal axis. Each ringlet includes a first element and a second element. The first and second elements each extend from a first end through a central portion to a second end. The first and second ends are disposed at radially outer positions with respect to the ring than the central portion. The central portion is longitudinally displaced from the first and second ends. The first and second elements are separated and spaced apart from each other at the central portions thereof and are joined together at the first ends thereof and the second ends thereof. The ringlets are connected together such that the first ends of the elements of one ringlet are connected to the second ends of the elements of an adjacent ringlet. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110071628 | ACCOMMODATIVE INTRAOCULAR LENS - An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) implant includes at least an anterior floating lens complex and a posterior lens complex, each of which comprises one or more optical elements, and a frame comprising one or more levers, which are coupled to the frame and the anterior floating lens complex. The levers are configured to leverage motion of the frame to move the anterior floating lens complex with respect to the posterior lens complex. Other embodiments are also described. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110264212 | Ocular implant iris diaphragm - An ocular implant alters iris color for medical and cosmetic purposes and is made of an inert, nontoxic, foldable and preferably permeable to fluid flow material. It is an annular non-planar structure that fits over the iris yet leaves the natural lens uncovered and extends approximately to the iridocorneal angle. Two different kinds of arc sections of a non-uniform thickness make up the structure: passage arc sections and support arc sections. The passage arc sections permit humor aqueous flow under the implant. The support arc sections make contact with the iris and provide the necessary support for the passage arc sections. Auricles extend from the support arc sections and are configured to hold the implant in place by engaging the eye at the iridocorneal angle. The implant may include an artificial lens and preferably spurs on the support arc sections to anchor for the artificial lens. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20130066422 | HAPTIC DEVICE FOR SULCUS IMPLANT - An intraocular lens for implantation in the ciliary sulcus of the eye has an optical part, on the periphery of which are arranged at least two haptic struts in the form of closed loops arranged symmetrically on each side of the optical part. Each loop is formed by at least three segments interconnected by flexion points, an arched upper segment forming the part for contact with the sulcus of the eye, and two lower segments providing the join between the upper segment and the optical part of the lens, to which they are also connected by flexion points. The length of the upper segment is less than the sum of the lengths of the lower segments and of their spacing (D) in the area of their connection to the optical part. The spacing is such that the lower segments converge on each other in the direction of the optical part. | 03-14-2013 |
| 20130331939 | INTRAOCULAR IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR FIXING SAME INTO AN EYE - An intraocular implant for use in a surgical procedure such as a cataract operation, or in a refractive-lens exchange surgery procedure, has a main portion and a peripheral portion peripheral to the main portion. The main portion is plate-like in shape and may be a lens or a plug for closing an aperture in the capsule of the eye. The implant has two or more lugs extending from the peripheral portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to a plane of the main portion. The lugs extend either from haptics, which protrude from the main portion, or from a short extension of the edge of the main portion. A method for fixing the implant into the eye involves making two or more voids in the capsule wall, offering up the implant to the capsule, so that the lugs lie adjacent to the voids, and inserting the lugs into the voids. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20140371851 | HAPTICS FOR INTRAOCULAR DEVICES - An intraocular device having anterior and posterior faces, haptics extending from the intraocular device, each of the haptics including a slender loop element with a proximal end attached to the intraocular device, the slender loop element having a length, width and thickness, the length following a curved path and the width being generally parallel to a central anterior-posterior axis of the intraocular device, and a distal hook portion extending from a distal end of the slender loop element, the distal hook portion including an anterior edge tilted towards the central anterior-posterior axis of the intraocular device. | 12-18-2014 |
| 20140371852 | SCLERAL FIXATION BAG - A method is described for introducing a scleral fixation bag into an eye. The scleral fixation bag includes haptics that extend therefrom. The method includes inserting and affixing the haptics into sclerotomies formed in the eye; the haptics affix the scleral fixation bag without a need for natural capsular bag support. The haptics of the scleral fixation bag include a slender loop element and a distal hook portion that extends from a distal end of the slender loop element. The distal hook portion has an anterior edge tilted towards the central anterior-posterior axis of the scleral fixation bag. | 12-18-2014 |
