ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENS

摘要

An intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises an optical structure and a haptic structure. The optical structure comprises a planar member, a piano convex member, and a fluid optical element defined between the planar member and the piano convex member. The fluid optical element has an optical power. The haptic structure couples the planar member and the piano convex member together at a peripheral portion of the optical structure. The haptic structure comprises a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the fluid optical element and a peripheral structure for interfacing to the lens capsule. Shape changes of the lens capsule cause one or more of volume or shape changes to the fluid optical element in correspondence to deformations in the planar member to modify the optical power of the fluid optical element.
