Abstract
An accommodating intraocular lens designed to provide a space in front of the lens optic, to allow it to move forward with accommodation, by stretching its connections to opposing plate haptics, to provide the patient with seamless vision from distance to near. The lens is designed to separate and prevent fibrosis of the anterior capsular rim with the posterior capsule where it surrounds the optic.
Claims16
A flexible accommodating intraocular lens comprising:
- plate haptics connected to an optic by connection members;
- and
- one or more anterior ridge protrusions positioned adjacent to the connection members, said protrusions configured to separate the optic of the intraocular lens from the anterior capsule of the human lens capsular bag into which the lens is implanted.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
