  • Patent number: 12036109
    Abstract: A device for supporting an intraocular lens in an eye. The device has a lens support structure having an inner perimeter surface defining, at least in part, a central opening. When implanted, light may pass through the central opening towards the retina. The device has at least three fixation arms, each having an origin portion coupled to the lens support structure and a terminal portion comprising an anchor for trans-scleral fixation of the device. Prior to implantation, at least one fixation arm is biased towards a folded configuration and has a bend between the origin portion and the terminal portion. The origin portion extends away from the lens support structure and the anchor of the terminal portion is positioned over or under at least one of a portion of the lens support structure and a portion of the central opening. Related tools, systems, and methods are provided.

  • Publication number: 20240180691
    Abstract: An implantable scleral suspension device for use with an intraocular lens, an artificial iris, or an implantable miniature telescope (IMT) in an eye. The device includes an elastic support structure having a central aperture extending through the support structure between an anterior surface of the support structure and a posterior surface of the support structure. The central aperture is defined by an inner perimeter surface. A plurality of fixation arms extend outward from the outer perimeter surface, each arm configured for sutureless scleral fixation and to be placed under tension to locate and stabilize the device within the eye. A thickness of the support structure along the inner perimeter surface defining the central aperture is greater than a thickness of the support structure near the outer perimeter surface. Related devices, systems, and methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240033073
    Abstract: An implantable device for supporting an artificial intraocular lens in an eye having an anterior segment of a capsular bag, an iris, and a sclera. The device includes a posterior platform having an anterior-facing surface and an inner wall defining, at least in part, a central aperture. When the device is implanted in the eye, light passes through the intraocular lens and the central aperture of the posterior platform towards the retina. The device includes at least one awning positioned over the anterior-facing surface of the posterior platform forming at least one recess anterior to the posterior platform. The device is configured to be deployed in the eye posterior of the iris so that no portion of the device rests in contact with the sclera after implantation. Related tools, systems, and methods are provided.

  • Publication number: 20230240835
    Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens device for treatment of an eye having a lens body; internal support; stabilization system; and force translation arm. The lens body includes an accommodating membrane, an annular element, a static element, and a fixed volume of optical fluid filling a sealed chamber of the lens body. The annular element coupled to the perimeter of the accommodating membrane has a shape deformation membrane configured to undergo displacement relative to the perimeter region. The sealed chamber is formed by inner surfaces of the accommodating membrane, shape deformation membrane, and static element. The force translation arm has a first end operatively coupled to the shape deformation membrane and a free end available and configured to engage a ciliary structure of the eye. The force translation arm is moveable relative to the lens body to cause inward movement of the shape deformation membrane. Related methods, devices, and systems are provided.
