The invention relates to an adjustable intraocular lens with a lens body 1, haptic arms 3 for fixing the lens body 1 in the eye, and an adjustment means for moving the lens body 1 relative to the haptic arm 3 in the direction of the optic axis 27 of the lens body 1 and for adjusting the extent of the movement. The haptic arms 3 are each directly connected to the lens body 1 via one of their ends. The haptic arms 3 preferably have a bifurcation 31, 33, and only one of the two fork ends 31 is connected to the lens body 1. The adjustment means, preferably with an adjusting screw 37, is screwed through one of the two fork ends 31, 33, and changes the distance between the two fork ends 31, 33. The intraocular lens according to the invention is easy and inexpensive to produce.
Adjustable intraocular lens comprising a lens body, haptic arms for fixing the lens body in an eye, and an adjustment means for moving the lens body repeatedly and reversibly in a direction of an optic axis of the lens body, wherein the haptic arms are each connected to the lens body at one end of each of the arms and the adjustment means is part of at least one of the haptic arms.
Adjustable intraocular lens comprising a lens body, haptic arms for fixing the lens body in an eye, and an adjustment means for moving the lens body repeatedly and reversibly in a direction of an optic axis of the lens body, wherein the haptic arms are each connected to the lens body at one end of each of the arms, the haptic arms have at one end, two deformable fork ends perpendicular to the optic axis, and the lens body is connected to only one of the two fork ends, and the adjustment means adjusts distance as present between the fork ends.
Adjustable intraocular lens comprising a lens body, haptic arms for fixing the lens body in an eye, and an adjustment means for moving the lens body repeatedly and reversibly in a direction of an optic axis of the lens body, wherein the haptic arms are each connected to the lens body at one end of each of the arms and the adjustment means has a piezoelectric element which serves to move the adjustment means.
Method of producing an intraocular lens having a lens body, haptic arms for fixing the lens body in an eye which are each connected to the lens body at one end of each of the arms, and an adjustment means for moving the lens body repeatedly and reversibly in a direction of an optic axis of the lens body comprising:
Adjustable intraocular lens comprising a lens body, haptic arms for fixing the lens body in an eye, and an adjustment means for moving the lens body relative to the haptic arms in a direction of an optic axis of the lens body, wherein the adjustment means includes a through-hole at an edge of the lens body into which through-hole an end-piece of at least one haptic arm of said haptic arms engages such that said at least one haptic arm can move axially.
