Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Intraocular rings, intraocular lens systems, and associated methods are disclosed. In some instances, the intraocular rings are formed of biocompatible pharmaceutical delivering materials and are configured to be implanted with conventional intraocular lens designs. The intraocular rings include engagement features for interfacing with haptics of the conventional intraocular lens designs in order to ensure proper orientation of the intraocular ring and intraocular lens relative to one another. In some instances, the intraocular rings also include haptics to encourage centering of the intraocular ring within the posterior capsule. The intraocular rings also serve to prevent posterior capsular opacification.
