Abstract: An apparatus includes an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens configured to be implanted in an eye and mounted on or attached to an artificial intraocular lens in the eye. The intraocular pseudophakic contact lens includes (i) an optical lens and (ii) haptics extending radially from the optical lens and configured to be inserted under an anterior leaflet of a capsular wall in the eye. Posterior surfaces of the haptics include ridges configured to capture at least one edge of the artificial intraocular lens. The haptics are flexible such that outer portions of the haptics are configured to drive the ridges into the at least one edge of the artificial intraocular lens based on surface pressure from the anterior leaflet against the outer portions of the haptics.

Abstract: A system includes an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens configured to be implanted in an eye and mounted on or attached to an artificial intraocular lens in the eye. The system also includes an external lens configured to be positioned in front of the eye. The intraocular pseudophakic contact lens and the external lens form a telescopic Galilean vision system. The external lens may include a spectacle lens or a contact lens. The intraocular pseudophakic contact lens may include an optical lens configured to provide a minus power optical magnification, and the external lens may be configured to provide a plus power optical magnification. The optical lens of the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens may include a central portion configured to provide a minus power optical magnification and an annular portion surrounding the central portion and configured to provide a different power optical magnification or no optical magnification.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide hydrodissection and/or PCO prevention or reduction in a patient undergoing eye surgery. In one embodiment, the invention is a surgical device for cutting and excising a portion of tissue, for example in performing a lens capsulotomy. A capsulotomy tip is inserted into an eye through an incision in the surface of the eye. The capsulotomy tip includes a suction cup to provide suction to the lens capsule. Then suction is applied via the suction cup to secure the capsulotomy tip to the eye. In some embodiments, after the capsulotomy tip is secured to the lens capsule, a cutting element of the capsulotomy tip is used to cut a tissue of the eye. Fluid is pushed through the capsulotomy tip and the capsulotomy tip is removed from the eye. Moreover, disclosed is an intraocular lens (IOL) to be used in conjunction with the surgical device.
