  • Accommodative intraocular lens and method of improving accommodation
    Patent number: 10524900
    Abstract: The present invention provides an accommodative intraocular lens (AIOL) system and method for improving accommodation with an intraocular lens. The method involves insertion into the capsular bag of a flexible optic holder comprising a plurality of haptics configured to allow the capsular bag to be sectioned at regular intervals following fusion of the capsular bag. The haptics of the optic holder are designed to allow maximum fusion of the anterior and posterior leaves of the capsular bag following placement of the optic holder in the capsular bag. Following introduction of the optic holder into the capsular bag, the natural or assisted process of fibrosis/fusion of the capsular bag occurs, thereby sealing and securely capturing the haptics within the capsular bag.

  • Dual mode accommodative-disaccomodative intraocular lens
    Patent number: 10512535
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a flexible, shape-shifting optic adapted to cooperate with a zonular capture haptic system and produce accommodation power both by shape shifting and axial shifting. The optic is designed as a small, thin walled optic vesicle comparable in size to current rigid monofocal IOL optics.
