Intraocular lens holding devices

A device configured to be implanted in a lens capsule of a human eye and securely hold an intraocular lens (IOL) and operable to rotate the IOL, around an optical axis of the IOL, by absorbing energy from a remote energy source, the device comprising:

• an outer stator portion configured to be fixedly positioned inside the lens capsule;
• an inner rotor portion configured to be fixedly attached to the IOL;
• and
• a movement system operable to cause incremental rotation of the inner rotor portion and the IOL, around the optical axis of the IOL, with respect to the outer stator portion, the movement system comprising a plurality of actuators having a fixed spatial relationship with the inner rotor portion and at least one interaction region associated with the plurality of actuators and having a fixed spatial relationship with the outer stator portion, the plurality of actuators comprise at least two actuators operable to cause the rotation of the inner rotor portion and the IOL in each of the clockwise and counterclockwise angular directions, the plurality of actuators and the at least one interaction region being aligned such that at each given moment in time, each actuator of the plurality of actuators is aligned differently with respect to the interaction region associated therewith such that the actuator faces a different interaction point on the associated interaction region, and is configured, if being activated by said remote energy source, to engage with the associated interaction region at the respective interaction point such that the actuator rotates and causes the IOL to rotate with a respectively different incremental rotation characterized by either a different angular distance or a different angular direction based on the location of the respective interaction point.
