Abstract
Systems and their methods of use for testing intraocular lenses outside of the lens capsule. In some embodiments the systems measure an accommodative response based on a force applied to the intraocular lens.
Claims21
A method of testing an accommodative response of an accommodating intraocular lens, comprising:
- applying a force to an accommodating intraocular lens when the accommodating intraocular lens is outside of a lens capsule;
- and
- measuring an accommodative response of the accommodating intraocular lens to the applied force, wherein applying a force to the accommodating intraocular lens comprises applying a compressive force to the accommodating intraocular lens.
A system for measuring an accommodative response of an accommodating intraocular lens outside of a lens capsule, comprising:
- a force effector adapted to apply a compressive force on an accommodating intraocular lens;
- and
- an accommodative response measuring element adapted to measure an accommodative response of the accommodating intraocular lens to the compressive force applied by the force effector.
