Abstract

An accommodating intraocular lens comprises a first lens component, a second lens component, and an adhesive between portions of the two lens components. The cured adhesive bonds the lens components to form a fluid chamber. The lens components are bonded to one another along a seam which extends circumferentially along at least a portion of the lens components. The lens components may comprise the same polymer material. The cured adhesive also comprises the polymer or a prepolymer of the polymer to provide increased strength. The polymer is hydratable such that the lens components and the cured adhesive therebetween can swell together to inhibit stresses between the lens components and the cured adhesive.

Dependent claims

An accommodating intraocular lens, comprising:

an annular lens support having an outer edge defining an outer periphery of the accommodating intraocular lens and surrounding an optical axis of the accommodating intraocular lens;
a non-deflectable lens coupled to the annular lens support;
a deflectable lens coupled to the annular lens support and spaced apart from the non-deflectable lens;
and
a fluid filled chamber between the non-deflectable lens and the deflectable lens, wherein the chamber is an enclosed volume within the accommodating intraocular lens;
wherein the annular lens support has an anterior-most portion and a posterior-most portion;
wherein the entire non-deflectable lens is positioned between the anterior-most portion and the posterior-most portion of the annular lens support when the annular lens support is in an uncompressed configuration;
and
wherein the non-deflectable lens is configured to displace along the optical axis and the deflectable lens is configured to change in curvature about the optical axis when compressive force is applied to the annular lens support.
