US 2009/0157178 A1 · INTRAOCULAR LENS

Abstract

The invention relates to an artificial intraocular lens consisting of a polymer material which permits a change of the optical properties of the artificial intraocular lens when exposed to light. This enables the lens to be exactly adjusted to the required visual acuity upon implantation thereof.

Claims17

Dependent claims

An artificial intraocular lens which is formed of a polymer material that contains photochemically active groups so as to enable a photoinduced change of the optical properties of the artificial intraocular lens to be performed, wherein the photoinduced change of the optical properties is caused by at least one of two-photon absorption and multiple-photon absorption.
