Abstract: An accommodative intraocular lens for implantation in an eye within a natural capsular bag includes a first lens part with an optical body transparent to light and defining an optical axis, front and rear optical body surfaces, haptics connected permanently to the optical body and designed to come into engagement with the capsular bag, a flexible membrane connected permanently to the haptics or the optical body, the membrane having a center axis which runs congruently or parallel to the optical axis and is transparent to light, and a second lens part with a hollow cylinder which can be positioned with a proximal end on the front membrane surface of the first lens part such that the hollow cylinder and the membrane can be displaced along the optical axis towards the front optical body surface and thus the rear membrane surface undergoes a change in the radius of curvature thereof.

Abstract: Multifocal intraocular lens with extended depth of field that comprises, in at least one of the surfaces (2), a small zone with a multifocal profile with a defined optical axis (3) and, in the peripheral region and coaxial to the multifocal zone, a ring-shaped opaque mask (1) that partially or totally block light to produce a small aperture effect and, therefore, the multifocal profile has a radius equal or larger than the internal radius of the mask (1), and there is at least one transition between focal zones or one diffractive step inside the internal radius of the mask (1).

Abstract: It is applied to bifocal, multifocal or progressive intraocular lenses or contact lenses, multifocal corneal ablation or other multifocal configurations, comprising means for projecting the image of a point light source on the retina of a patient and an assembly for directly recording the light reflected in said retina after the double passage of the light through the ocular means, integrating a first focus corrector device inserted in the path of the light beam guided towards the retina and a second focus correction device inserted in the light beam reflected from the retina, to be guided towards the mentioned recording means, each of said focus correction devices having independent control means for controlling the operation thereof.

Abstract: A method and system for simulating/emulating vision using intraocular devices or lenses prior to surgery, preferably using multifocal and monofocal intraocular lenses. The invention allows the patient, prior to surgery, to compare the differences in the perception of an image as seen with the intraocular lens and with normal vision, determining which type of lens the patient prefers, and in turn allows the ophthalmologist to measure which provides the better visual performance. The invention comprises a system containing the intraocular lens, called an artificial eye, a lens for transporting the image from the intraocular lens and eliminating the blur introduced by the artificial eye, and at least one telescope or optometer which transports the intermediate image from the intraocular lens onto the patient's pupil. In this manner, the patient is shown how he/she would see after surgery with each type of lens proposed by the ophthalmologist.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for measuring light diffusion in the eyeball or eye region, by recording and processing retinal images. The inventive system includes a double-pass ophthalmoscopic system having means for correcting low-order aberrations. Said system can be used to record images of the plane of the retina on a CCD camera, the outer part of said images containing information relating to ocular scattering. The aforementioned images can be used to obtain the objective scattering index (OSI), providing the ratio between the energy on the outer part of the image and the energy in the central part, or, alternatively, the modulation transfer function (MTF) area can be used for this purpose once the low frequencies have been filtered. According to the inventive method, the low-order aberrations are corrected before a retinal image or a temporal sequence of retinal images is captured and recorded.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for the objective measurement of ocular accommodation. A double-pass ophthalmoscopic system is used which incorporates a periscope allowing the patient to binocularly see real objects in an open field and images of the retinal plane to be recorded on a CCD camera. The method includes obtaining, for different values of accommodation stimulation, a set of retinal images corresponding to different focal values in the retina, obtaining the different focal positions in the retina by moving the two lenses incorporated in the ophthalmoscopic system. The image with the best optical quality is obtained for each set of images and by associating the selected image with the known value of the accommodation stimulation it is possible to objectively measure the accommodation.
