Intraocular lenses with quantum dots

摘要

Intraocular lenses with quantum dots, materials and methods for making optical lenses, and methods of use are disclosed and claimed. Such lenses provide accurate detectable markers that can be used to align, detect, and correct orientation of lenses prior to, during and after use.

主权项

1. An intraocular lens comprising (a) a central lens optic and (b) a mark disposed on the central lens optic, the mark comprising a plurality of nano-sized particles of semi-conductor nanocrystals, defined as quantum dots;
wherein the intraocular lens is implanted in an area of the eye selected from the group consisting of the anterior chamber, the iris plane, the ciliary sulcus space, the posterior chamber, and the capsular bag; and wherein said mark does not contact the retinal cells of the eye.
