Intraocular pseudophakic contact lens (iopcl)-based telescopic approach for treating age-related macular degeneration (amd) or other eye disorders

A method comprising:

• using an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens and an external lens to form a telescopic Galilean vision system;
• wherein the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens is configured to be implanted in an eye and mounted on or attached to an artificial intraocular lens in the eye;
• and
• wherein the external lens is configured to be positioned in front of the eye.

A system comprising:

• an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens configured to be implanted in an eye and mounted on or attached to an artificial intraocular lens in the eye;
• and
• an external lens configured to be positioned in front of the eye, the external lens comprising one of:
• a spectacle lens and a contact lens;
• wherein the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens and the external lens form a telescopic Galilean vision system;
• wherein the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens comprises an optical lens and haptics extending radially from the optical lens and configured to be inserted under an anterior leaflet of a capsular wall in the eye;
• wherein the optical lens of the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens is configured to provide a minus power optical magnification;
• wherein the external lens is configured to provide a plus power optical magnification;
• wherein posterior surfaces of the haptics comprise ridges configured to capture at least one edge of the artificial intraocular lens;
• and
• wherein the haptics are flexible such that outer portions of the haptics are configured to drive the ridges into the at least one edge of the artificial intraocular lens based on surface pressure from the anterior leaflet against the outer portions of the haptics.
