Abstract

Ophthalmic implants, their methods of use and manufacture. The implants may include a transparent optic portion and a peripheral non-optic portion coupled to the optic portion. The transparent optic portion may be made of a transparent optic material adapted to allow visible light to pass therethrough, and the peripheral non-optic portion may be made of a light absorbing material adapted to absorb visible light.

Claims (25)

1. A phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant sized and configured for implantation in posterior chamber of a patient's eye, comprising:

a transparent optic portion that is designed to provide a refractive correction, the transparent optic portion including a central hole that is sized and positioned to provide for flow of aqueous humor through the lens, wherein the transparent optic portion is hydrophilic, has a diameter from 1 mm to 7 mm, and has a central thickness from 100 microns to 400 microns; and

an opaque peripheral non-optic portion coupled to the optic portion and extending peripherally therefrom, the peripheral non-optic portion sized and configured to engage a sulcus of an eye,

the transparent optic portion made of a transparent optic material adapted to allow visible light to pass therethrough, and an entirety of the peripheral non-optic portion made of a light absorbing material adapted to absorb visible light,

wherein the transparent optic material and the visible light absorbing material have linear swell indices that are within 5% of each other when exposed to one or both of aqueous humor or balanced salt solution (‘BSS’),

wherein the transparent optic material and the peripheral portion material comprise the same constituent components except that the peripheral non-optic portion material includes one or more light absorbing components,

wherein the peripheral portion comprises a plate haptic extending all the way from a periphery of the optic portion to a radially outermost surface of the phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic lens, wherein the radially outermost surface of the plate haptic comprises a sulcus-engaging surface.

2. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the transparent material and the visible light absorbing material have linear swell indices that are within 1% of each other when exposed to one or both of aqueous humor or balanced salt solution (‘BSS’).

3. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the transparent optic material is bonded to the light absorbing material.

4. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral portion includes a transition zone adjacent to the optic portion.

5. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the transparent optic portion has a diameter based on the visual impairment the phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant is designed to treat.

6. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the lens has a width from 10 mm to 14 mm.

7. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the lens is shaped to correct ametropia.

8. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 7 , wherein the transparent optic portion is configured as an extended depth of field optic to treat presbyopia.

9. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the lens is shaped to correct myopia.

10. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 9 , wherein the lens is shaped to also correct astigmatism.

11. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 10 , wherein the transparent optic portion is configured as an extended depth of field optic to treat presbyopia.

12. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 9 , wherein the transparent optic portion is configured as an extended depth of field optic to treat presbyopia.

13. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the lens is shaped to correct hyperopia.

14. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 13 , wherein the transparent optic portion is configured as an extended depth of field optic to treat presbyopia.

15. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 13 , wherein the lens is shaped to also correct astigmatism.

16. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 15 , wherein the transparent optic portion is configured as an extended depth of field optic to treat presbyopia.

17. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein the lens is shaped to correct astigmatism.

18. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 17 , wherein the transparent optic portion is configured as an extended depth of field optic to treat presbyopia.

19. The phakic posterior chamber ophthalmic implant of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of a peripheral region of the peripheral non-optic portion where it engages the sulcus is between 50 microns and 200 microns.
