Abstract
An optical lens adapted for use with a human eye having a lens body formed of a top surface and a bottom surface and wherein the lens body has integral therewith a predetermined area which is adapted to selectively intercept and pass light through the lens body in a manner to obtain an optical effect for substitution of the loss of the accommodation of a phakic, aphakic and pseudophakic eye is shown. The optical lens may be used in an intraocular lens configuration having resilient support means operatively coupled to the lens body adapted to slidably engage tissue in the chamber of an eye to position the lens body in a proper optical relationship. Also, the optical lens can be placed over the cornea of the eye or in the cornea directly by a cornea inlay.
Claims18
An optical lens for a human eye comprising
- a lens body having a top surface and a bottom surface, said lens body having formed in the center area thereof a predetermined area of opaque material defining a ring-like annular-shaped member which is adapted to selectively intercept and pass light through the lens body along a predetermined light transmitting path in a manner to obtain an optical effect for substitution of the loss of the accommodation of an eye.
An optical lens for the human eye adapted to be placed over the cornea of an eye comprising:
- a lens body having a top surface and a bottom surface, said lens body having positioned in the center area thereof a predetermined area formed of an opaque material which is adapted to selectively intercept and pass light through the lens body along a predetermined light transmitting path in a manner to obtain the optical effect by increasing the normal depth of focus of the eye by means of the effect of an intraocular stenopaeic hole.
In combination
- an optical lens adapted to be implanted into an eye positioned in at least one of the anterior chamber and posterior chamber of the human eye, said optical lens comprising
- a lens body having a top surface and a bottom surface, said lens body being formed of an opaque material defining an annular-shaped member which is adapted to selectively interrupt and pass light through the lens body in a manner to obtain an optical effect for substitution of the loss of accommodation of an eye;
- and
- resilient support means operatively coupled to said lens body and adapted to engage tissue in the chamber of an eye to position the lens body in a proper optical relationship to the subject.
An intraocular lens for a human eye comprising
- a lens body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a central area which is capable of transmitting light determined by the characteristic of that portion of the lens body and a peripheral area surrounding said central area which defines a ring-like annular-shaped member formed of an opaque material.
An optical lens for a human eye comprising
- a lens body having a top surface and a bottom surface, said lens body having formed in the central area thereof a predetermined area of material which is adapted to selectively interrupt and pass light through the lens body along a predetermined light transmitting path in a manner to obtain an optical effect for substitution of the loss of accommodation of an eye, said lens body obtaining said optical effect by increasing the normal depth of focus of the eye by means of the effect of an intraocular stenopaeic hole.
