Haptic optic management system utilizing edge rollers
Systems, methods, and devices for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) into an eye may be provided. In an exemplary aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a haptic optic management system. The haptic management system may include a housing that includes a bore and a cavity disposed in a first surface of the housing. The cavity may include a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion, wherein the cavity provides access to the bore through the first surface of the housing. The haptic management system may include arms coupled to the housing. The haptic management system may include edge rollers coupled to the housing.
1. A haptic optic management system, comprising:
a housing comprising a bore and a cavity disposed in a first surface of the housing, wherein the cavity comprises a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion, and wherein the cavity provides access to the bore through the first surface of the housing;
a plurality of arms coupled to the housing, wherein the plurality of arms comprises a first arm disposed in the first end portion and a second arm disposed in the second end portion, and wherein each of the plurality of arms comprises:
a first portion,
a second portion joined to the first portion at a bend,
a pin extending from the first portion, and
a tab extending from the second portion; and
edge rollers coupled to the housing.
2. The haptic optic management system of claim 1 , wherein the bore comprises a first portion that has a U-shaped cross-section and extends from a first end of the housing to the central portion of the cavity, and wherein the bore comprises a second portion that has a smaller cross-section than the first portion and extends from the central portion of the cavity to a second end of the housing.
3. The haptic optic management system of claim 1 , further comprising an intraocular lens disposed in the cavity, wherein the intraocular lens comprises an optic and haptic extensions that extend from the optic.
4. The haptic optic management system of claim 3 , wherein one of the haptic extensions extends from the optic onto the first end portion, and wherein another of the haptic extensions extends from the optic onto the second end portion.
5. The haptic optic management system of claim 1 , wherein the first end portion and the second end portion each comprises an end wall, a raised platform adjacent to the end wall for supporting one of the arms, a portion adjacent to the raised platform for supporting a haptic extension of an intraocular lens, and an inclined surface adjacent to the portion.
6. The haptic optic management system of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of arms is rotatable about the respective first portion.
7. The haptic optic management system of claim 1 , wherein the edge rollers comprises a pair of the edge rollers, wherein each of the pair of the edge rollers are disposed on opposite platforms formed on either side of the central portion of the cavity.
8. The haptic optic management system of claim 1 , wherein the edge rollers each comprise a slot formed in a first surface for receiving an edge of an optic of an intraocular lens, a bore formed adjacent the slot, and a tab extending on a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the tab is received in a slot formed in a sidewall of the housing.
9. The haptic optic management system of claim 8 , wherein the tab is received in a slot formed in a sidewall of the housing.
