Accommodating intraocular lenses
Accommodating intraocular lenses including an optic having an anterior element and a posterior element defining an optic fluid chamber, wherein the optic is aspheric across all powers throughout accommodation or disaccommodation. Intraocular lenses, optionally accommodating, where an optic portion is centered with a midline of a height of the peripheral portion, the height measured in the anterior to posterior direction.
1. An intraocular lens, optionally accommodating, wherein an optic portion is centered, in an anterior-to-posterior direction, relative to a midline of a height of a haptic, the height measured in an anterior to posterior direction, wherein the optic portion includes an anterior element that includes the anterior-most surface of the optic portion, and a posterior element that includes the posterior-most surface of the optic portion, the anterior element and the posterior element coupled together at a periphery of the optic portion to define an optic portion fluid chamber, and
an anterior-most portion of the haptic disposed further anterior to an anterior most location on the anterior-most surface of the optic portion, and a posterior-most portion of the haptic disposed further posterior to a posterior most location on the posterior-most surface of the optic portion,
wherein the haptic has a haptic fluid chamber in communication with the optic portion fluid chamber, and wherein the haptic has a proximal end secured to the optic portion,
wherein first and second fluid channels fluidly connect the haptic fluid chamber and the optic fluid chamber where the proximal end is secured to the optic portion.
2. An intraocular lens of claim 1 , further comprising a second haptic secured to the optic portion.
3. An intraocular lens of claim 2 , wherein each of the haptic and second haptic includes a fluid port in fluid communication with the optic portion, wherein each of the fluid ports are centered with a midline of a height of each of the haptics.
4. The intraocular lens of claim 1 , wherein the first and second fluid channels include first and second apertures that fluidly communicate directly with the optic fluid chamber, wherein a distance between the first and second apertures is 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm.
5. The intraocular lens of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fluid channels are formed in the optic portion.
6. The intraocular lens of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of fluid channels are formed in the posterior element of the optic portion.
7. The intraocular lens of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of fluid channels are formed in a buttress portion of the posterior element of the optic portion, the buttress portion extending radially outward from the optic fluid chamber.
8. The intraocular lens of claim 1 , wherein the haptic comprises a fluidly closed distal end that is not directly attached to the optic portion.
