  • Publication number: 20250073019
    Abstract: A medicament reservoir for an intraocular lens has a medicament, a through-hole, a first medicament reservoir clearance which communicates with the through-hole, a first web which delimits the first medicament reservoir clearance, a first end face which delimits the through-hole, and a second end face which is disposed so as to face away from the first end face and to delimit the through-hole. The through-hole in a region of the first end face has a first longitudinal end and in a region of the second end face has a second longitudinal end. The medicament reservoir has a displacement direction oriented from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end. The first medicament reservoir clearance is formed such that the through-hole is accessible from outside the medicament reservoir via the first medicament reservoir clearance in a medicament reservoir radial direction in terms of the displacement direction.

  • Publication number: 20250064579
    Abstract: An intraocular lens includes an optical body, which has an optical axis, and a haptic arm, which is attached to the optical body, wherein the haptic arm has a radial cutout formed in a side of the haptic arm, which side is arranged outwards in a radial direction with respect to the optical axis. The intraocular lens can have a medicament reservoir which has a medicament and a through-hole, in which the haptic arm is arranged, and which is arranged in the radial cutout, wherein the haptic arm has a radial projection which projects inwards in the radial direction from the rest of the haptic arm and which, in a circumferential direction with respect to the optical axis, is arranged in the same region as the radial cutout.

  • Patent number: 12193930
    Abstract: An accommodative intraocular lens includes a first lens part, a haptic, and a flexible membrane. The flexible membrane is arranged adjacent to a distal optical body surface, delimits a cavity together with the distal optical body surface and is transparent to light. A second lens part has a hollow cylinder coupled releasably to the first lens part, as a result of which the intraocular lens can be brought into a coupling state in which the second lens part is arranged on a distal side of the first lens part and the hollow cylinder is configured to deform the membrane by a longitudinal displacement of the hollow cylinder parallel to the optical axis. The hollow cylinder has on its exterior an outer face and a bearing face arranged adjacent to a proximal end of the outer face and encloses, with the outer face, an angle of less than 180°.

  • Patent number: 12144724
    Abstract: An accommodative intraocular lens is for insertion in the capsular bag of an eye. The accommodative intraocular lens has a first lens part, including a first membrane and an optical axis, and a second lens part which can be detachably coupled to the first lens part, whereby the intraocular lens can be transferred to a coupled state.

  • Publication number: 20230218796
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a tissue adhesive for use in a treatment method in which an ophthalmological implant is implanted in a human or animal patient and the ophthalmological implant is connected, at least partially in an integrally bonded manner, to eye tissue of the patient via the tissue adhesive. The disclosure also relates to an ophthalmological implantation system including an ophthalmological implant for implantation in a human or animal eye and to a tissue adhesive via which the ophthalmological implant is connectable, at least partially in an integrally bonded manner, to eye tissue of the patient.

  • Patent number: 11678979
    Abstract: Provided is an eye implant having a lens sheath which is embodied for insertion in a capsular bag of an eye, is elastic, delimits a cavity in its interior and has a through hole via which the cavity is accessible from outside of the lens sheath, a plurality of reservoirs which are fastened to the lens sheath, project from the lens sheath to the outside, have an adhesive in their interior and are embodied to dispense the adhesive when pressed against the capsular bag, and at least two adapters which are fastened to the lens sheath, project from the lens sheath into the interior, and are embodied to engage with a respective haptic of an accommodative intraocular lens.

  • Publication number: 20210236269
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an ophthalmological instrument with a main body and at least one ligand (L) immobilized on the main body. In the implanted state of the ophthalmological implant, the ligand (L) binds and/or deactivates at least one fibrinogen and/or cytokine. The disclosure further relates to a method for producing an ophthalmological implant, and to a use of a ligand (L), via which at least one fibrinogen and/or cytokine is to be bound and/or deactivated in the implanted state of the ophthalmological implant, for producing an ophthalmological implant.
