Abstract
To provide an intraocular lens to which a mark for assisting more accurate fixation in an eye has been applied. Provided is an intraocular lens including an optical part having a mark that is detectable under illumination of a specific wavelength range outside a wavelength range of visible light, and a support part that supports the optical part, in which the mark is indicated by a geometric pattern that allows for identification of an optical center position of the optical part and information regarding posture of the optical part in an eye.
Claims9
An intraocular lens, comprising:
- an optical part that includes:
- a front surface and a back surface;
- and
- at least one mark including a first geometric pattern at the front surface and a second geometric pattern at the back surface, wherein
- the first geometric pattern is same as the second geometric pattern,
- the first geometric pattern is at an optical center position of the optical part on the front surface,
- the second geometric pattern is at the optical center position of the optical part on the back surface, and
- the at least one mark is detectable under illumination of a specific
- wavelength range outside a wavelength range of visible light;
- and
- a support part configured to support the optical part, wherein
- the at least one mark is for identification of each of the optical center position of the optical part and information regarding posture of the optical part in an eye,
- the at least one mark indicates the information regarding the posture based on a misalignment between the first geometric pattern on the front surface of the optical part and the second geometric pattern on the back surface of the optical part in a depth direction of the optical part, and
- the at least one mark indicates an amount of tilt of the intraocular lens and a direction of the tilt based on an amount of displacement between a center position of the first geometric pattern on the front surface of the optical part and a center position of the second geometric pattern on the back surface of the optical part.
