Abstract

An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises first and second components coupled together to define an inner fluid chamber and an outer fluid reservoir. The inner region of the AIOL provides optical power with one or more of the shaped fluid within the inner fluid chamber or the shape of the first or second components. The fluid reservoir comprises a bellows region with one or more folds of the bellows extending circumferentially around an optical axis of the eye. The bellows engages the lens capsule, and a compliant fold region between the inner and outer bellows portions allows the profile of the AIOL to deflect when the eye accommodates for near vision. Fluid transfers between the inner fluid chamber and the outer fluid reservoir to provide optical power changes when the eye accommodates.

Claims (39)

1. An accommodating intraocular lens, comprising:

a first component including an inner portion and an outer portion;

a second component positioned posterior to the first component when the accommodating intraocular lens is implanted in an eye of a patient; and

a circumferential wall extending between the first component and the second component; and

a haptic extending outwardly from the circumferential wall, the haptic including a medial portion coupled to the circumferential wall and a lateral portion extending outwardly in an anterior direction and/or a posterior direction relative to the medial portion,

wherein—

the first component, the second component, and the circumferential wall define a fluid space within the accommodating intraocular lens, and

when the accommodating intraocular lens is implanted in the eye, the haptic is configured to receive a force from the eye of the patient to (i) pivot the circumferential wall relative to the second component, (ii) adjust a spacing between the second component and at least the outer portion of the first component, and (iii) change a distribution of fluid within the fluid space to change an optical power of the accommodating intraocular lens.

2. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 1 wherein the force causes the first component to transition between: (i) a first configuration in which one or both of the inner portion and the outer portion of the first component are at least generally planar, and (ii) a second configuration in which one or both of the inner portion and the outer portion of the first component are deflected relative to the first configuration.

3. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 2 wherein the force causes the first component to transition from the first configuration to the second configuration.

4. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 1 wherein the force is a radially compressive force that urges fluid within the fluid space radially inwardly toward a center of the fluid space.

5. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 1 wherein the force is a radially compressive force that causes the haptic to move radially inwardly and thereby pivot the circumferential wall in a radially inward direction.

6. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 1 wherein the circumferential wall includes an anterior end portion and a posterior end portion opposite the anterior end portion, wherein the second component is coupled to the posterior end portion, and wherein one or both of the first component and the haptic are coupled to the anterior end portion.

7. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 6 wherein the anterior end portion of the circumferential wall includes a medial face and a lateral face opposite the medial face, wherein the first component is coupled to the medial face and wherein the haptic is coupled to the lateral face.

8. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 1 wherein, when the accommodating intraocular lens is implanted in the eye, the lateral portion of the haptic extends in the posterior direction relative to the medial portion.

9. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 1 wherein the medial portion of the haptic extends from the circumferential wall in a direction at least generally perpendicular to the circumferential wall.

10. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 1 wherein the change to the distribution of fluid within the fluid space increases a curvature of one or both of the first component and the second component.

11. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 1 wherein, when the accommodating intraocular lens is implanted in the eye, the haptic is configured to receive the force from the eye of the patient to increase the spacing between the second component and at least the outer portion of the first component.

12. An accommodating intraocular lens, comprising:

a first component including a first lens portion; and

a second component including a second lens portion, wherein—

the second component is coupled to the first component to define a lens cavity between the first lens portion and the second lens portion,

one or both of the first component and the second component include a radially outer wall that defines an outermost perimeter of the lens cavity, and

the lens cavity defines an optical axis of the accommodating intraocular lens; and

a series of circumferentially-distributed haptics configured to receive a force from an eye of a patient to change a curvature of the first lens portion, wherein individual ones of the series of circumferentially-distributed haptics include—

a first portion coupled to and extending from the outer wall in a first direction at least generally perpendicular to the optical axis, and

a second portion extending from the first portion in a second direction at least generally parallel to the optical axis,

wherein, when the accommodating intraocular lens is implanted in an eye of a patient—

the first lens portion is positioned anterior to the second lens portion, and

the change to the curvature of the first lens portion changes an optical power of the accommodating intraocular lens.

13. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 12 wherein the force is a radially compressive force that urges fluid within the lens cavity radially inwardly toward the optical axis.

14. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 12 wherein the first lens portion has a first thickness as measured parallel to optical axis and the second lens portion has a second thickness as measured parallel to optical axis, and wherein the second thickness is different than the first thickness.

15. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 14 wherein the second thickness is greater than the first thickness.

16. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 12 wherein first lens portion has a first stiffness and the second lens portion has a second stiffness different than the first stiffness.

17. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 16 wherein the second stiffness is greater than the first stiffness.

18. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 12 wherein the force is a radially compressive force that causes individual ones of the series of circumferentially-distributed haptics to move radially inwardly and thereby deform the outer wall in a radially inward direction.

19. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 12 wherein, when the accommodating intraocular lens is implanted in the eye of the patient, the second portion extends away from the first portion in a posterior direction.

20. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 12 wherein the second direction is at least generally parallel to the outer wall.

21. The accommodating intraocular lens of claim 12 wherein the series of circumferentially-distributed haptics includes a series of discrete paddles spaced circumferentially apart from one another about the optical axis.
