Prosthetic capsular devices, systems, and methods

1. A prosthetic capsular device configured to be inserted in a natural capsular bag of an eye after removal of a lens, the device comprising:

a housing structure capable of containing an intraocular lens (IOL), the housing structure including:

a first flat lateral side, the first flat side including:

a first end, and

a second end;

a second flat lateral side opposite the first flat lateral side, the second flat lateral side including:

a first end, and

a second end;

a third arcuate lateral side extending between the first end of the first flat lateral side and the first end of the second flat lateral side, the third arcuate lateral side comprising a capsular bag-contacting surface;

a fourth arcuate lateral side extending between the second end of the first flat lateral side and the second end of the second flat lateral side, the fourth arcuate lateral side opposite the third arcuate lateral side, the fourth arcuate lateral side comprising a capsular bag-contacting surface;

a posterior side including a refractive surface;

an anterior side opposite the posterior side, the anterior side including an opening configured to allow insertion of an intraocular lens and a lip formed around the opening; and

a longitudinal axis,

the first flat lateral side, the second flat lateral side, the third arcuate lateral side, the fourth arcuate lateral side, the posterior side, and the anterior side at least partially defining a cavity, the cavity of the housing structure capable of containing an intraocular lens; and

a ring structure including:

a first ring structure portion extending from proximate to the first end of the first flat lateral side radially outward and towards the second end of the first flat lateral side, the first ring structure portion comprising a capsular-bag contacting surface; and

a second ring structure portion extending from proximate to the second end of the second flat lateral side radially outward and towards the first end of the second flat lateral side, the second ring structure portion comprising a capsular-bag contacting surface,

wherein the first ring structure portion includes an anchor comprising a first anchor portion that extends a distance along the first flat lateral side and a second anchor portion that extends a distance along the third arcuate lateral side, the anchor of the first ring structure portion being embedded within the housing structure;

wherein the second ring structure portion includes an anchor comprising a first anchor portion that extends a distance along the second flat lateral side and a second anchor portion that extends a distance along the fourth arcuate lateral side, the anchor of the second ring structure portion being embedded within the housing structure; and

wherein each of the first ring structure portion and the second ring structure portion includes an anterior-posterior opening proximate to a terminal end.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing structure comprises a first material and the ring structure comprises a second material different than the first material.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the first material comprises silicone and the second material comprises polyimide.

4. The device of claim 2 , wherein the first material comprises silicone.

5. The device of claim 2 , wherein the second material comprises polyimide.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the refractive surface has a refractive power between −35 D and +35 D.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first flat lateral side, the second flat lateral side, the third arcuate lateral side, and the fourth arcuate lateral side includes a first portion extending parallel to the longitudinal axis from the posterior side towards the anterior side.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein each of the first flat lateral side, the second flat lateral side, the third arcuate lateral side, and the fourth arcuate lateral side further includes a second portion extending radially inwardly from the first portion towards the opening of the anterior side.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the ring structure further includes:

a third ring structure portion extending from proximate to the first end of the second flat lateral side radially outward and towards the second end of the second flat lateral side, the third ring structure portion comprising a capsular-bag contacting surface; and

a fourth ring structure portion extending from proximate to the second end of the first flat lateral side radially outward and towards the first end of the first flat lateral side, the fourth ring structure portion comprising a capsular-bag contacting surface.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the opening is oblong.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the posterior side comprises a first fin and a second fin, the first fin and the second fin circumferentially offset by about 180° and aligned along a major axis of the device.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing structure is capable of containing a biometric measurement device comprising a sensor.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the biometric measurement device comprises a wireless transmitter, the biometric data sensor device configured to measure biometric data using the sensor and to transmit the biometric data to an external device configured to receive the biometric data.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the biometric data comprises intraocular pressure.

15. The device of claim 13 , wherein the biometric data comprises glucose level.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein the posterior side comprises an opening.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the opening of the posterior side is capable of allowing delivery of a medicament from an inserted drug delivery platform to a posterior segment of an eye.
