AI Technical Summary
Current intraocular lenses (IOLs) often fail to replicate the natural lens's focusing ability, leading to refractive errors and visual artifacts, and may not provide sufficient accommodation or stability, necessitating additional corrective measures like glasses for intermediate and near vision.
The development of an accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) with an inner and outer fluid reservoir system, where the bellows region allows fluid transfer between the inner fluid chamber and outer reservoir to change optical power in response to eye accommodation, featuring a compliant fold region and protrusions to define fluid channels, enabling dynamic optical power adjustment.
This design enhances accommodation, reduces refractive errors, and minimizes visual artifacts by allowing the AIOL to change optical power in response to the distance of viewed objects, providing improved vision without the need for corrective eyewear for intermediate and near tasks.
