Abstract: An accommodating artificial ocular lens (AAOL) device including a lens optic portion connected to a pleated lens haptic portion to provide accommodation of vision of the eye.

Abstract: An accommodating artificial ocular lens (AAOL) device including a moving lens optic portion connected to a lens plate haptic portion. Preferably, the lens optic portion is connected to the lens plate haptic portion by a pair of flexible or resilient transverse oriented lens arm portions to provide or allow for movement of the lens optic portion.

Abstract: This invention discloses devices for use with an ophthalmologic insertor apparatus. In one embodiment, the device is a flexible, stretchable sleeve holder adapted to fit over a deformable sleeve that houses an implant. The sleeve holder facilitates loading of an implant into the sleeve by providing a suitable gripping surface. Application of a compressive force to the sleeve holder further allows the implant to be immobilized within the sleeve. After loading of the implant into the sleeve, the holder may be used as a collar or hub to secure the sleeve to an insertor hand-piece. Methods for loading implants into delivery sleeves, methods for attaching sleeves to inserters, and methods for delivering implants to an incision are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention discloses insertor devices that employ a flexible, deformable sleeve to house an implant. In one embodiment, a device is described that employs squeezing blades to advance an implant through the flexible sleeve into a passageway, tissue or cavity of the body. The invention further relates to holders for the sleeve to facilitate loading of an implant into the sleeve. In a preferred embodiment, the device is an insertor for a foldable lens and in particular the device is an insertor for the introduction of an intraocular lens into the eye. Methods for loading the devices of this invention with an implant, methods for making the sleeves of this invention and methods for use are discussed.
