ACCOMMODATIVE INTRAOCULAR LENS

An accommodating intraocular lens implant (10) includes an anterior floating lens unit (24), which includes an anterior lens (26); a posterior lens unit (50), which includes a posterior lens (52); an anterior rim complex (44); levers (30); and a ring (100). The levers (30) are (a) (i) in jointed con...

Zusammenfassung:An accommodating intraocular lens implant (10) includes an anterior floating lens unit (24), which includes an anterior lens (26); a posterior lens unit (50), which includes a posterior lens (52); an anterior rim complex (44); levers (30); and a ring (100). The levers (30) are (a) (i) in jointed connection with the anterior floating lens unit (24) at respective first longitudinal sites (60) along the levers (30), (ii) in pivotable connection with the anterior rim complex (44) at respective second longitudinal sites (62) along the levers (30), and (iii) in pivotable contact with the posterior lens unit (50) at respective third longitudinal sites (64) along the levers (30), and (b) arranged to move the anterior floating lens unit (24) toward and away from the anterior rim complex (44), in an anterior- posterior direction. The ring (100) has a diameter greater than that of the anterior lens (26), and is connected to the levers (30). The lens implant (10) is configured such that the ring (100) deforms during a transition of the lens implant (10) between a fully- accommodated state and a fully-unaccommodated state.
