The invention comprises a device for treating presbyopia. A stretch segment is provided for implantation into the region extending between the outer circumference of the lens and extending to the sulcus region at the intersection of the iris and ciliary body. The stretch segment engages the equatorial zonules spanning between the lens and ciliary body. The segment is designed to take up slack in the equatorial zonules in the presbyopic eye, such that their effective working distance is enhanced. This aids in the accommodation process which affects the curvature of the lens for near viewing. The segment may be a closed ring, or may be open ended. |
