Exchangeable optics and therapeutics
An exchangeable optics system includes an intraocular base that can be fixed within an eye. The intraocular base includes one or more couplers and a supporting structure. The one or more couplers releasably couple to an exchangeable optic and can include magnetic material. The supporting structure can include haptics and a main structure that physically supports the exchangeable optic. The intraocular base can include a fixed lens within or on the main structure. The exchangeable optic can include corresponding one or more couplers, which may be formed of magnetic material.
1. An exchangeable optics system comprising:
an intraocular base comprising:
a capsular tension ring for fixedly coupling the intraocular base within an eye and for physically supporting an exchangeable optic thereon;
at least one tension ring extension radially extending from the capsular tension ring;
a magnetic coupler disposed on the at least one tension ring extension;
a magnetic material forming the capsular tension ring or disposed on the capsular tension ring; and
an exchangeable optic, wherein the exchangeable optic comprises a lens and a secondary magnetic coupler for releasably coupling, by magnetic attraction, the exchangeable optic to the magnetic coupler of the intraocular base.
2. The exchangeable optics system of claim 1 , wherein the exchangeable optic comprises a wavefront guided optic.
3. The exchangeable optics system of claim 1 , wherein the exchangeable optic comprises a hole within a periphery of the lens.
4. The exchangeable optics system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first set of fiducials on the intraocular base; and
a second set of fiducials on the exchangeable optic.
5. The exchangeable optics system of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic coupler comprises a magnetic ring on the at least one tension ring extension.
6. The exchangeable optics system of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic material is around a substantial circumference of the capsular tension ring.
7. The exchangeable optics system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a therapeutic releasably coupled to the intraocular base, the therapeutic comprising a magnetic particle.
