Abstract: An implantable kinetic power generator has an oscillating weight that is physically coupled to a first gear. A second gear with a rotor at its center of rotation is coupled to the first gear. A generating coil is located in close proximity to the rotor. An energy storage unit is electrically coupled to the coil. A shell suitable for implantation in the eye encloses these components. When the rotor rotates, energy generated by the coil is stored in the energy storage unit.

Abstract: A control system for an accommodative intraocular lens includes a sensing circuit for sensing a signal that controls a ciliary muscle of an eye and an amplifier circuit for amplifying the sensed signal. The output of the amplifier circuit is used to control an accommodative IOL. At least one electrode located in the vicinity of cranial nerve III, the ciliary ganglion, or the ciliary muscles is used to receive the signal that controls the ciliary muscles. A filter may also be included.
