  • Patent number: 9681943
    Abstract: An intraocular lens wherein an outer edge of a support part has a curved concave shape at a base thereof and extends therefrom toward a tip thereof with a curved convex shape having a radius of curvature of 5.25 to 7.50 mm. In a region where a Y coordinate of an orthogonal coordinate system is 1.0 mm or greater, an origin of the coordinate system being a geometric center of an optical part, an inner edge of the support part is positioned between shapes obtained by offsetting the outer edge of the support part by 0.2 mm and by 1.0 mm towards the X-axis origin. The tip of the support part is positioned in a region where the Y coordinate is greater than a radius of the optical part, outside a circle with a radius of 5.0 mm centered on the origin.

  • Patent number: 8267996
    Abstract: An intraocularlens of novel structure by which the outer circumferential part of an optical portion can be pressed stably against a posterior capsule under worn state and crisis of secondary cataract can be suppressed more advantageously. A pair of coupling portions (14, 14) are formed to hold an optical portion (12) between them in one direction perpendicular to the optical axis, wherein the outer fringe parts of the coupling portions (14, 14) are made thicker than the outer fringe part of the optical portion (12), a pair of supporting portions (16, 16) are formed to project from the outer fringe parts of the coupling portions (14, 14) and a edge contour part (32) is formed continuously on the outer fringe parts of the optical portion (12) and respective posterior surfaces (20, 24) of the coupling portions (14, 14) so as to extend smoothly along the entire circumference thereof.
