Abstract: A Double Accommodating Intraocular Lens (DAIOL), which not only axially moves its flexible optic to accommodate, but also peripherally compresses or decompresses the optic to change its convexity or power, thus, double accommodating simultaneously upon contraction or expansion of the ciliary muscles and subsequently the lens capsule. The DAIOL includes a deployable semi-rigid or elastic haptic assembly and a flexible single optic. The DAIOL is further composed of three or four ring haptics and three or four deployable resilient lazy tongs, attached to a single elastically flexible plate encompassing a flexible optic. Accordingly, the radial compression of the capsular bag by the contraction of the ciliary muscles axially moves and radially compresses the flexible optic in the lens and vice versa upon radial expansion of the capsular bag, backward axial movement, and decompression of the optic, due to the resilient lazy tongs action, for double accommodation.

Abstract: An implantable, miniature pump assembly having a flexible elastic bladder actuating assembly. The bladder, in the non-flexed state, has an elongated, substantially rectangular profile, with a predetermined internal volume or capacity. Influent and effluent conduits extend in opposite directions from respective end portions of the bladder. Each of the conduits include one way valves disposed therein to limit fluid flow to a single direction into and through the bladder. Contraction and expansion of the bladder by means of energy harvested from the dynamic environment in which it is implanted in response to ambient random dynamic motion creates alternating pressure and vacuum within the bladder, alternately drawing fluid into the bladder through the influent conduit, and forcing fluid from the bladder via the effluent conduit.
