An equipment includes two intraocular implants whose the optic part (7g, d) is provided, proximate its free end, with an actuating elements (10g, d) for varying the length of the edge in response to a control signal (Sc); two pressure sensors (4d, 4g) located between the eye balls and the insertion point either of the external rectus muscles or of the internal rectus muscles, for measuring each a pressure and transforming it into a pressure signal; a comparator for comparing the pressure signals and, if they fulfil a predetermined condition, in sending a condition fulfillment signal (Scs) to a relay (5d, 5d) each associated with one implant; and two such relays (5d, 5g) for sending, on reception of the signal (Scs), a control signal (Sc) to the actuating elements (10) of its associated implant.
