Capsular Implant For Maintaining The shape and/or Position of an Opening Formed by Capsulorhexis

a technology of capsular implant and capsule, which is applied in the field of capsular implant for maintaining the shape and/or position of an opening formed by capsulorhexis, can solve the problems of ocular aqueous humour circulation or iris, ocular blindness worldwide, and the inability of the technique to remove other cell types that can invade the capsule from the ocular iris, so as to prevent or minimise the phimosis of the opening

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for maintaining the shape and / or position of an opening formed by a capsulorhexis in the anterior or posterior capsule of the eye.BACKGROUND

[0002] A cataract is a condition where the lens of the eye becomes opaque ultimately leading to impaired vision. Cataracts are the main cause of blindness worldwide. Treatment consists of a surgical procedure wherein the cataract is extracted and replaced with an intraocular lens.

[0003] A central circular capsulorhexis of appropriate size and edge integrity is the key to successful cataract surgery. This is where a continuous circular incision is made in the anterior capsule that then allows for safe phacoemusification surgery and determines centration and stability of the capsular-fixated intraocular lens.

[0004] Although cataract extraction aims to remove the content of the capsular bag (the outer layer of the crystalline lens), invariably some lens epithelial cells are left behind, on the...
