<p>An inflatable, intraocular lens for implanting within the lens capsule (34) of an eye (38) following removal of the biological contents of the lens capsule (34). The lens comprises a thin-walled lens skin (10) forming a substantially enclosed, collapsible sac made of a flexible polymeric material and having a wall thickness no greater than about 0.15 millimeter. The lens skin (10) has an exterior shape when inflated which is substantially the same as the shape of the biological content of the lens capsule (34) of a normal eye (38). In a collapsed, folded condition, the lens skin (10) can be inserted into the lens capsule (34) by means of an insertion device (16) through a relatively small incision in the eye (38) and inflated through a pair of flexible tubes (12) communicating with the inside of the sac formed by the lens skin (10). The lens skin (10) is filled with a liquid which will cure to an elastomeric material having proper optical qualities.</p> |
