  • Patent number: 9763775
    Abstract: An intraocular lens storage system for storing an intraocular lens. The intraocular lens storage system includes a storage container for storing the intraocular lens and an actuable transfer device, which is arranged in the storage container, with an intraocular lens receiver to receive the intraocular lens. The transfer device is movable between an intraocular lens storage position for storing the intraocular lens in the storage container and an intraocular lens transfer position to transfer the intraocular lens to an injection device.

  • Publication number: 20070106379
    Abstract: In an intraocular lens for implantation in the anterior chamber of an eye, to improve the compatibility and the imaging characteristics, a peripheral surface extending between an anterior optic surface and a posterior optic surface extends parallel to an optical axis and optic edges defining the peripheral surface are of a sharp-edged configuration. A design of this type of the intraocular lens reduces imaging defects.

  • Publication number: 20050246017
    Abstract: An intraocular lens for implantation in a capsule of an eye comprises an optic which has a substantially circular rim, an optical axis, and a lens plane that extends vertically of the optical axis; at least two haptics for support of the optic on the capsule, the haptics being fixed to the optic and forming one piece with the optic and consisting of reversibly deformable material, each haptic having a first Z-shaped haptic clamp articulated to the rim, a second Z-shaped haptic clamp articulated to the rim, and a connecting clamp which is concave in relation to the optical axis, uniting the first haptic clamp and the second haptic clamp.

  • Publication number: 20040215340
    Abstract: An accommodable implant for reception in the capsular bag of an eye, comprises an optical lens (2) with a lens plane (4) and a lens axis (5) extending perpendicular thereto and through the center of the lens (2); at least two haptics (3), with each haptic (3) extending radially outward from the lens (2), and being formed integrally with the lens (2), and comprising an arm (8) which is articulated to the lens (2) by a first joint (9), and comprising a supporting element (15) for support in the equatorial area of the capsular bag, which supporting element (15) is connected to the outer end of the arm (8).

  • Publication number: 20040199174
    Abstract: A device is part of an injection system for injecting a foldable intraocular lens (IOL) into a human eye. The device contains a folding area with two pivotably interconnected half-shells which can be pivoted from an open starting position to a closed finishing position. A sheet-like band loop is provided which is secured with a securing end on the first half-shell and is guided displaceably on the second half-shell. In the open starting position, a receiving space for the IOL is formed between the band loop and the two half-shells. By pulling on the displaceably guided band loop, the half-shells can be moved in the direction toward their finishing position. The band loop on the one hand permits reliable and gentle folding of the IOL. At the same time, the band loop permits storage of the IOL, in the unfolded state, in the folding area.

  • Publication number: 20040059248
    Abstract: The invention relates to an implant for determining the pressure of the aqueous humour in an eye, comprising a support body with a pressure sensor unit (5; 5″) arranged thereon, said pressure sensor unit comprising a first pressure sensor element (14; 14″) for measuring the pressure of the aqueous humour and for producing first pressure sensor data, a data processing unit (23) which is arranged on the support body and connected to the pressure sensor unit (5; 5″) in such a way that data can be transferred in order to process the first pressure sensor data and to produce first transfer data, in addition to comprising a first transmitting and receiving element which is arranged on the support body and connected to the data processing unit (23) in such a way that data can be transferred in order to transmit first transfer data and receive second transfer data from a second transmitting and receiving device arranged outside the eye.
