  • Patent number: 11291537
    Abstract: An ocular implant and a method for implanting such an ocular implant inside an eye includes an optical portion and at least two polymer haptics for fixation of the ocular implant to tissue inside an eye. At least one portion of the haptics contains a photoinitiating agent delivery component. A kit for implanting an ocular implant in an eye includes an ocular implant at least two polymer haptics; and additionally a photoinitiating agent for at least partially impregnating a first portion of the ocular element or a second portion of tissue in the eye; and, a light source for providing light of a wavelength adapted to excite the photoinitiating agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 5, 2022
    Assignees: CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTÍFICAS, THE GENERAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 9808339
    Abstract: Intraocular lens with accommodation capacity comprising a first optical member (1) having a dynamic optical power, to which a second optical member (2) with a fixed optical power is affixed, in such a manner that at least a central part of each of one of one of the curved surfaces (2a, 2b) of the second optical member (2) and of at least one of the surfaces (1a, 1b) of the first optical member (1) are in contact with each other, the second optical member (2) and the first optical member (1) providing a joint optical power which is variable between a condition of minimum optical power corresponding to a condition of disaccommodation and a condition maximum optical power corresponding to a condition of accommodation, and the first optical member and an anchoring system (3) being designed to change the curvature of at least one of the surfaces (1a, 1b) of the first optical element (1) progressively between a maximum curvature corresponding to the condition of accommodation in response to a minimum effective trac
