Abstract: A cartridge for an intraocular implant includes a loading chamber and an injection chamber communicating in a proximal portion of the cartridge. The cartridge further includes a piston chamber including a zone for communication with the loading chamber in a distal portion of the cartridge. The piston chamber includes a piston with an actuation end arranged to penetrate the loading chamber and to urge an intraocular implant located in the loading chamber through the injection chamber. An intraocular implant injector can include such a cartridge.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved intraocular lens. According to the invention, the haptic (3) support part (4), elevation view, takes the form of a flat, closed, semi-circular loop having a constant thickness at rest. The proximal end of the loop extends from the distal part of a connecting stalk (5) which extends essentially tangential to the periphery of the optical part (2) and in parallel with the vertical diameter (d1) of the optical part. The haptic (3) support part (4) forms an angle of approximately 30° with the horizontal diameter (d2) of the optical part (2).
Abstract: The invention relates to an ocular device which permits the avoidance of the phenomenon of photophobia and the method for production thereof. The device comprises one or more chromophores which absorb light in the wavelengths between 400 and 575 nm (blue-green light) and which are dispersed, after the placement in or on the eye, in the surrounding body fluids in several weeks to several months depending on the concentration of the chromophores. The device is produced by conditioning of the non-colored ocular device in an aqueous solution of the chromophore(s) in the shade.
