AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Existing AIOLs may also be too large to be inserted through the small incision in the eye, and the incision may need to be somewhat larger than ideal
Also, at least some existing AIOLs may be unstable when placed in the eye, which may lead to incorrect accommodation and other errors

Abstract

An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) for implantation in a capsular bag of a patient's eye includes first and second components coupled together to define an inner fluid chamber and an outer fluid reservoir. The inner region of the AIOL utilizes one or more shaping fluids in the inner fluid chamber or the shape of the first or second components to provide optical power. The fluid reservoir includes a bellows region having one or more folds extending circumferentially about the optical axis of the eye. The bellows cooperates with the lens capsule, and the compliant folded area between the inner and outer bellows sections allows the AIOL's contour to deflect as the eye accommodates for near vision. Fluid is transferred between the inner fluid chamber and the outer fluid reservoir to provide optical magnification changes. A third lens component coupled to the first or second component provides additional optical power.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 438,969, filed December 23, 2016, entitled "Multiple-Piece Accommodative IOL," filed August 11, 2017, entitled "Multi-Piece Accommodative IOL" U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 544,681, priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 549,333, entitled "Multi-Piece Accommodative IOL," filed August 23, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Background technique [0003] The present disclosure relates to medical devices and methods. In particular, the present disclosure relates to accommodative intraocular lenses (hereinafter "AIOLs" or "AIOL" in the singular). [0004] Cataracts affect a large proportion of the adult population worldwide, causing clouding of the native crystalline lens and loss of vision. Patients with cataracts are treated with native lens removal and surgical implantation of a synthetic intraocular len...
