Abstract: Disclosed herein is an implantable capsule expander device for insertion within a lens capsule of an eye of a patient. The device comprises an arcuate center portion including first and second rims and having a first height, an outermost peripheral portion including a second height that is less than the first height, and a receiving portion formed between the first and second rims. The center portion and the outermost peripheral portion are configured to stabilize the capsule expander device within the lens capsule and to expand the lens capsule. The receiving portion is sized to receive an artificial intraocular lens.

Abstract: An accommodative intraocular lens (IOL) system is disclosed for insertion into an eye to provide accommodative vision, the system including a first lens having an first optic, a second lens having a second optic, a transparent, low refractive index medium disposed between the first and second optics; and at least one haptic connected to the first and second lenses and configured to facilitate movement of one lens relative to the other lens, such that when the lens system is positioned in an eye, ciliary muscle movements can alter the distance between the first and second lenses and vary the overall lens power of the system.
