Abstract
An interior bag for a capsular bag of an eye comprises a discriminatingly permeable interior bag that selectively reduces fluid flow volume through the interior bag. The interior bag is secured inside the capsular bag. A structure, adapted to hold a refractive device, is attached to the interior bag.
Claims20
An internal eye apparatus, comprising:
- an injectable interior bag configured to contain a refractive device, the interior bag having an outer surface configured to engage an inner surface of a capsular bag of an eye to allow a partial fluid flow between the inner surface of the capsular bag and the outer surface of the interior bag in a manner reducing a probability of posterior capsular opacification in the eye,
- wherein the interior bag is squeezable for insertion into the capsular bag and expandable to substantially occupy the capsular bag once inserted.
Interior bag eye implantation kit, comprising:
- an injectable interior bag configured to contain a refractive device, the interior bag having an outer surface configured to engage an inner surface of a capsular bag of an eye to allow a partial fluid flow between the inner surface of the capsular bag and the outer surface of the interior bag in a manner reducing a probability of posterior capsular opacification in the eye;
- and
- an injector having configured to house the interior bag in a compressed form and to enable injection of the interior bag into the capsular bag, wherein it expands to substantially occupy the capsular bag, the injector comprising:
- a housing adapted to hold the compressed interior bag and a pressurized fluid in a fluid containment reservoir;
- and
- a plunger configured to eject the fluid from the fluid containment reservoir and the interior bag into the capsular bag of the eye.
