主权项

1. A device to be placed in an anterior capsule opening of an eye, the anterior capsule opening having a periphery, comprising:
a ring and a membrane therewithin, the ring being adapted to form a sealing area between the ring and a surface of the anterior capsule, the sealing area configured for fluid communication with a conduit extending outside the capsule; and the ring having a flow channel, said flow channel having a port connected and a port thereto whereby when the ring contacts the posterior surface of the anterior capsule of the eye, reduced pressure may be applied in the flow channel which pulls a portion of the anterior capsule into the flow channel thereby securing the membrane.
