Capsular stabilizers and methods for preventing rotation of intracular lens and fixating the same to the anterior capsule

A kit, that adds Capsular Fasteners to an IOL that is then characterized by at least one of an increased postoperative rotation stability of an IOL;

• and an increased stabilization within an anterior capsule for any indication, including in cases at which the posterior capsule is absent or ruptured, said kit comprising
• a. an IOL having a main longitudinal axis B:B, an anterior surface of a main plane X:Y and a posterior surface, comprising a lens interconnected to at least one haptic;
• and
• b. at least one vertical capsular stabilizer (VCS) of claim 1, reversibly affixable perpendicular to said anterior surface along said main longitudinal axis B:B;
• when affixed, a fastener head of said at least one VCS protrudes from said anterior surface X:Y so that a gap of a predefined size and shape is provided, facing an opposite side of a center of said lens.

A method for fixating an IOL to an anterior capsule for any indication, including in cases at which the posterior capsule is absent or ruptured, comprising steps of:

• a. providing an IOL having a main longitudinal axis B:B, an anterior surface of a main plane X:Y and a posterior surface, said IOL comprising a lens interconnected to at least one haptic;
• b. affixing at least one vertical capsular stabilizer (VCS) perpendicular to said anterior surface along said main longitudinal axis B:B;
• when affixed, a head of said at least one VCS protrudes from said anterior surface X:Y so that a gap of a predefined size and shape is provided, facing an opposite side of a center of said lens;
• c. if astigmatism correction is required along radian A:A, ex situ affixing a plurality of said at least one VCS on said anterior surface along said main longitudinal axis B:B;
• so that heads of said plurality of at least one VCS protrude from said anterior surface X:Y so that a gap of a predefined size and shape is provided, facing an opposite side of a center of said lens;
• d. implanting said IOL, said main longitudinal axis B:B positioned on an arbitrary radian;
• e. if required, rotating in situ said IOL comprising said plurality of said at least one VCS so that said main longitudinal axis B:B is superimposed on said astigmatism radian A:A;
• and
• f. in situ positioning a capsule peripheral circumferential edge over the gap to fixate the lens at a required angle, prevent rotation of the lens and enable fixation to the anterior capsule.
