Abstract
Intraocular lenses include a lens body sized and adapted for placement in a mammalian eye and having a plurality of different optical powers, and a movement assembly joined to the lens body and adapted to cooperate with the mammalian eye to effect accommodating movement of the lens body in the eye. Such intraocular lenses provide enhanced accommodation relative to the accommodation attainable using a single optical power IOL adapted for accommodating movement.
Claims20
An intraocular lens comprising:
- a lens body sized and adapted for placement in a mammalian eye and having a central axis and a plurality of different optical powers, the lens body including a central region about the central axis and at least one annular region extending radially outwardly from the central axis, the central region and the at least one annular region each having a different optical power;
- and
- a movement assembly joined to the lens body and adapted to cooperate with the mammalian eye to effect accommodating movement of the lens body in the eye.
A combination comprising:
- a lens body sized and adapted for placement in a mammalian eye, and the lens body having a central axis and a plurality of different optical powers, the lens body including a central region about the central axis and at least one annular region extending radially outwardly from the central axis, the central region and the at least one annular region each having a different optical power;
- and
- a movement assembly joined to the lens body and adapted to cooperate with the mammalian eye to effect accommodating movement of the lens body in the eye;
- and
- a lens element adapted for implantation in a capsular bag of the eye.
