Patent number: 11607307Abstract: The present invention relates to a prosthetic capsular bag and method for inserting the same. The prosthetic capsular bag helps to maintain the volume of the natural capsular bag, thereby stabilizing the effective lens position of an IOL so that refractive outcomes may be improved with cataract surgery. The prosthetic capsular bag further provides an integrated refractive surface, providing a means for experimentally determining an effective lens position prior to inserting an IOL.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Omega Ophthalmics LLCInventor: Gary N. Wortz
