Eye prosthesis with natural blinking movement - has internal magnet connected to pupil muscles

摘要

The eye prosthesis has a natural blinking movement and can be used to replace an eye which has been surgically removed. A magnet (1) is installed in the pupil prosthesis (2) which is connected to the pupil muscles (3,4) and to other muscles not shown in the drawing. This magnet (1) acts on the pupil prosthesis (2) to produce a natural blinking movement. The axis north pole to south pole of the magnet (1) in the pupil prosthesis (2) is aligned parallel to the magnetically effective region or to the magnetically effective part of the visible part (5) of the prosthesis. USE - Eye prosthesis.
