Injectable bag intraocular lens system, inserting device for use therewith, method for inserting an injectable bag intraocular lens within a human eye, methods for treating aphakia and system kits

A method for implanting an intraocular lens in an eye comprising:

• mounting a deflated lens member about and to an end of a moveable member such that the deflated lens member is sealingly engaged with a portion of the moveable member so that an interior of the deflated lens member forms a compartment and such that an outlet port in the moveable member communicates with the deflated member compartment;
• disposing an outer member about the moveable member;
• inserting a portion of the outer member within the eye;
• moving the moveable member from a first position to a second position, thereby deploying the deflated lens member;
• and
• forming the intraocular lens by injecting an optical medium into the deflated lens member compartment when the moveable member is in the second position using the moveable member outlet port.

A method for treating one of aphakia or cataract of an affected eye, comprising:

• removing the impaired natural lens of the affected eye;
• mounting a deflated lens member about and to an end of a moveable member such that the deflated lens member is sealingly engaged with a portion of the moveable member so that an interior of the deflated lens member forms a compartment and such that an outlet port in the moveable member communicates with the deflated member compartment;
• disposing an outer member about the moveable member;
• inserting a portion of the outer member within the eye;
• moving the moveable member from a first position to a second position, thereby deploying the deflated lens member;
• and
• forming an intraocular lens by injecting an optical medium into the deflated lens member compartment when the moveable member is in the second position using the moveable member outlet port.

A device kit comprising at least one insertion and injection device and a deflated lens member having an interior;

• wherein the insertion and injection device includes:
• a moveable member having a outlet port provided therein,
• an outer member in which is disposed the moveable member,
• wherein the deflated lens member is mounted about and to an end of the moveable member such that the deflated lens member is sealingly engaged with a portion of the moveable member so that the interior of the deflated lens member forms a compartment, and
• wherein the moveable member outlet communicates with the deflated member compartment.
