Abstract

An intraocular lens includes a flexible capsule configured to be inserted into a natural lens capsular bag, a semisolid or solid portion disposed in the flexible capsule, the semisolid or solid material being adjustable so as to achieve emetropic refraction, and a polymeric gel disposed in the flexible capsule, the polymeric gel configured and arranged so as to be capable of providing accommodation.

Claims (17)

1 . An intraocular lens, comprising:

a flexible capsule configured to be inserted into a natural lens capsular bag;

a semisolid or solid portion disposed in the flexible capsule, the semisolid or solid material being adjustable so as to achieve emetropic refraction; and

a polymeric gel disposed in the flexible capsule, the polymeric gel configured and arranged so as to be capable of providing accommodation.

2 . The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein

the semisolid or solid portion is at least partially polymerized.

3 . The intraocular lens according to claim 2 , wherein

the semisolid or solid portion configured to be completely polymerized after implantation.

4 . The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein

the semisolid or solid portion is at least one of silicon, PMMA and hydrogel.

5 . The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein

the polymeric material is at least one of Biodendrimer, silicone oil and saline.

6 . The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein

the semisolid or solid material is disposed in a posterior portion of the flexible capsule and the polymeric gel is disposed in an anterior portion of the flexible capsule.

7 . The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein

the flexible capsule is silicone.

8 . The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein the semisolid or solid material has one of a curved portion, a flat portion and a serrated portion.
