  • APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN IMPLANTABLE RING FOR ALTERING A SHAPE OF THE CORNEA
    Publication number: 20140277430
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for constricting a cornea of a human eye are disclosed. A control device external to the subject eye, such as an induction generator, may be configured to create a stimulus, such as a magnetic field, for an implanted ring that, when stimulated, may change the curvature, and thus the dioptric power, of the eye, thereby approximating natural accommodation.
