Definitions
- This invention relates to intraocular lenses, and in particular, to accommodating intraocular lenses capable of focusing on objects located at various distances therefrom.
- the natural lens of a human eye is a transparent crystalline body, which is contained within a capsular bag located behind the iris and in front of the vitreous cavity in a region known as the posterior chamber.
- the capsular bag is attached on all sides by fibers, called zonules, to a muscular ciliary body.
- the vitreous cavity which is filled with a gel, further includes the retina, on which light rays passing through the lens are focused. Contraction and relaxation of the ciliary bodies changes the shape of the bag and of the natural lens therein, thereby enabling the eye to focus light rays on the retina originating from objects at various distances.
- Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye or of its surrounding transparent membrane becomes clouded and obstructs the passage of light resulting in various degrees of blindness.
- a surgical procedure is known to be performed in which the clouded natural lens, or cataract, is extracted and replaced by an artificial intraocular lens.
- cataract surgery the anterior portion of the capsular bag is removed along with the cataract, and the posterior portion of the capsular bag, called the posterior capsule, is sometimes left intact to serve as a support site for implanting the intraocular lens.
- Such lenses have the drawback that they have a fixed refractive power and are therefore unable to change their focus.
- Such accommodating intraocular lenses have a variety of designs directed to enable the patient to focus on, and thereby clearly see, objects located at a plurality of distances. Examples may be found in such publications as US 4,254,509, US 4,932,966, US 6,299,641, and US 6,406,494.
- US 5,489,302 discloses an accommodating intraocular lens for implantation in the posterior chamber of the eye. This lens comprises a short tubular rigid frame and transparent and resilient membrane attached thereto at its bases. The frame and the membranes confine a sealed space filled with a gas.
- the frame includes flexible regions attached via haptics to the posterior capsule. Upon stretching of the capsule by the eye's ciliary muscles, the flexible regions are pulled apart, thereby increasing the volume and decreasing the pressure within the sealed space. This changes the curvature of the membranes and accordingly, the refractive power of the lens.
- US 6,117,171 discloses an accommodating intraocular lens which is contained inside an encapsulating rigid shell so as to make it substantially insensitive to changes in the intraocular environment.
- the lens is adapted to be implanted within the posterior capsule and comprises a flexible transparent membrane, which divides the interior of the intraocular lens into separate front and rear spaces, each filled with a fluid having a different refractive index.
- the periphery of the rear space is attached to haptics, which are in turn attached to the posterior capsule.
- haptics Upon stretching of the capsule by the eye's ciliary muscles, the haptics and hence this periphery is twisted apart to increase the volume of rear space and changes the pressure difference between the spaces.
- the curvature of the membrane and accordingly, the refractive power of the lens changes.
- the present invention suggests an accommodating lens assembly having an optical axis and being adapted to be implanted in a posterior chamber of an eye having a capsular unit located therein.
- the assembly comprises a rigid haptics element adapted to secure said assembly within said posterior chamber outside said capsular unit, the element being transparent at least in a region around said axis.
- the assembly further comprises a resilient body adapted to operate as a lens with a radius of curvature, when pressed up against said region of the rigid element by an axial force applied thereto by said capsular unit, whereby a change in said force causes a change in said radius of curvature.
- capsule unit as it is used in the present description and
- Claims refers to the posterior capsule, the zonules, and the ciliary body, which are interconnected and act in unison, forming in accordance with the present invention, a kind of cable whose varying tension provides the axial force applied to and utilized by the lens assembly of the present invention to achieve accommodation.
- the assembly of the present invention is directed to substitute for a natural lens after its removal from the eye, not only by enabling the eye to see after implantation of the assembly, but also by enabling it to accommodate and thereby bring into focus objects located at a continuum of distances.
- the assembly is designed to be fixed in the posterior chamber, with the resilient body axially abutting the posterior capsule.
- the resilient body may be attached to the haptic element or may simply be held in place up against the element by the tension of the capsular unit.
- the lens assembly of the present invention utilizes the natural compression and relaxation of the capsular unit to impart an axial force on the resilient body in order to cause it to act as a lens whose radius of curvature, and therefore the refractive power it provides, varies depending on the magnitude of the force. In this way, the lens assembly cooperates with the natural operation of the eye to accommodate and enable the eye to clearly see objects at different distances.
- the haptics element of the assembly according to the present invention may adopt any of a variety of designs known in the art, e.g. it may be curved or it may be in the form of a plate, which spans a plane essentially perpendicular to the optical axis of the assembly. In addition to said region, the haptics element may be completely transparent. Said region of the element may be in the form of a transparent component, such as a clear panel or another lens which may have such a curvature and index of refraction as to enhance the accommodating capability of the lens assembly.
- the haptics element may have a hollow space formed in its transparent region. This hollow space is adapted to allow said resilient body to bulge through said space in response to said force. This enables the lens assembly to provide a range of refractive power (i.e. the accommodating capability) depending on the bulge's radius of curvature, which is determined and may be varied by the magnitude of the force applied by the capsular unit.
- the haptics element of the lens assembly of the present invention is adapted to securely fix the assembly in front of the capsular unit in the posterior chamber of the eye. It is essential that the haptics element maintain a substantially immovable position.
- the haptics element is preferably adapted to be fixed to the scleral wall of the eye in two or more places in the regions between the iris and the ciliary body.
- the haptics element preferably comprise anchoring means, such as in the form of teeth.
- anchoring means such as in the form of teeth.
- the haptics element of the assembly of the present invention preferably also includes at least one extendible member at its periphery.
- the haptics element in the form of a plate discussed above may have a telescoping end which is only extended after the assembly has been inserted into the eye and has been positioned at the anchoring site.
- This extendible member may also be provided with anchoring means attached thereto.
- the extendible member serves to keep the assembly small enough to insert into the eye until its securing is desired.
- the extendible member, such as the telescoping end may be passive or may be spring biased being compressed to enable implantation and released to maintain anchoring by a resisting force.
- the haptics element of the lens assembly in accordance with the present invention may be made of a variety of possible rigid materials suitable for invasive medical use and known in the art to be used in the formation of haptics.
- the resilient body of the accommodating lens assembly in accordance with the present invention may be made of any suitable deformable material, such as silicone or hydrogel, having an index of refraction different from the gel within the eye.
- the resilient body must not necessarily be made of a single component or material.
- the body may be in the form of a sac filled with a fluid or gel.
- the resilient body of the accommodating lens assembly in accordance with the present invention may have a variety of shapes so long as the shape has or is able to achieve a radius of curvature and thereby perform as a lens.
- the resilient body may have such shapes as a sphere which, when pressed against its haptics element, takes on the shape of a double convex lens.
- the planar side of a hemispherical resilient body may be pressed up against it to act as a plano-convex lens.
- the resilient body having a bi-planar shape such as that of a solid circular disc
- the accommodating lens assembly in accordance with the present invention may further comprise a rigid piston member, which sandwiches said resilient body between it and said haptics element, and which is designed to be pushed by said force and, in response, to cause said resilient body to take on a desired curved shape.
- the piston member is transparent at least in a region around said axis and is movable along said axis with respect to said element.
- One or both of said haptics element and said piston member have a hollow space in their transparent region to allow said resilient body to bulge through said space in response to said force.
- the hollow spaces formed in the haptics element and/or the piston member in preferred embodiments of the lens assembly in accordance with the present invention may have various designs such as circular blind or through holes. Preferable, these spaces are large enough that their periphery is far from the optical axis so as not to substantially affect light passing thereabout by causing diffraction and other such undesired optical effects. Also, in order to minimize such optical disturbances, if a hollow space is formed within the piston member, the haptics element may be devoid of such a space and vice versa.
- the piston member of the accommodating lens assembly of the present invention may be made of any of a variety of rigid biocompatible materials.
- the piston member may also have any of a variety of designs, such as a plano-convex design with the convexly curved side abutting the capsular unit so as to contribute to the range of refractive power which may be achieve by the assembly.
- the transparent region of the piston member like the resilient body, must have an index of refraction different from the natural gel surrounding the assembly when implanted in the eye.
- the radius of curvature and the index of refraction of the piston member may be adjusted and chosen in numerous ways to arrive at lens assemblies having various ranges of refractive power and degrees of sensitivity to the force applied by the capsular unit.
- the accommodating lens assembly of the present invention abound, particularly because of it is designed to be positioned in the eye completely outside of the posterior capsule.
- One advantage for example, is that the lens assembly does not undesirably stretch and consequently harm the capsule.
- the lens assembly does not need to conform to the size or shape of the capsule, and is therefore free to take on a larger variety of designs.
- the capsule is sometimes damaged during the surgery to remove the natural lens, but the lens assembly of the present invention does not require that the capsule be completely intact in the form of a bag but merely that it remain reliably connected as part of the capsular unit.
- Another advantage arising from the lens assembly being positioned outside of the posterior capsule is that it remains unaffected by the permanent and unpredictable constriction that the capsule inevitably undergoes due to scarring following the surgery for removal of the natural lens.
- the lens assembly of the present invention offers advantages such as a simple and inexpensive construction.
- the lens assembly of the present invention also provides the ability to accommodate within a vast range of refractive power, including the full range provided by the natural eye. Also, the lens assembly provides means for varying its sensitivity in response to the force applied by the capsular unit.

- Fig. 5A shows yet another embodiment of an accommodating lens assembly in accordance with the present invention as implanted in the eye
- Fig. 5B shows the accommodating lens assembly of Figs. 5 A in operation in the eye.
- the eye E which is filled with natural gel (not shown) having an index of refraction of about 1.3, comprises a scleral wall S, an iris, and a retina R (not shown).
- the eye E further includes a ciliary body CB, from which extend zonules Z connected to a posterior capsule PC. These last three parts of the eye E constitute the capsular unit 1.
- the accommodating lens assembly 2 has an optical axis A-A and comprises a rigid haptics plate 4 having a first lens 6 made of a rigid material having an index of refraction higher than that of water.
- the plate 4 further includes a telescoping haptics member 8, which is slidably biased in grooves 8a so as to be extendible in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis A-A.
- the plate 4 and the telescoping member 8 have teeth 9 projecting therefrom for anchoring the first lens assembly 2 within the eye E.
- the lens assembly 2 further comprises a silicone ball 10 attached to the plate 4 so as to be located on the axis A-A.
- the silicone ball 10 also has an index of refraction higher than that of water.
- the haptics plate 4 of the assembly 2 is anchored, using the teeth 9, to the eye's scleral wall S at two locations between the ciliary body CB and the iris I.
- the anchoring is done by first inserting the teeth 9 on the plate 4 to the desired point in the scleral wall S, and then extending the telescoping member 8 until its teeth 9 enter the opposing side of the scleral wall S.
- the silicone ball 10 directly contacts the capsular unit 1, which is stretched around the ball 10 and transforms it into a second plano-convex lens 10' as shown in Fig. 2 A with a radius of curvature Rl .
- Fig. 2B shows an increase in tension in the capsular unit 1 compared to Fig. 2A upon relaxation of the ciliary body CB.
- the increase in tension applies a forward force along the axis in the direction of the iris I. This force causes the lens 10' to further deform and increase its radius of curvature from Rl to R2. This increase in radius will enable the eye E to focus on nearby objects by adjusting the assembly's focal plane until it resides on the retina R.
- FIG. 3A Another example of an accommodating lens assembly 22 for implantation within a human eye E in accordance with the present invention is shown in a preferred embodiment in Fig. 3A in plan view and in Fig. 3B from a side view.
- the accommodating lens assembly 22 has an optical axis B-B and comprises a rigid haptics plate 24, similar to that included in the lens assembly 2, and having a circular aperture 26.
- the plate 24 further includes a telescoping member 28, which is slidably biased in grooves 28a so as to be extendible.
- the plate 24 and the telescoping member 28 have teeth 29 projecting therefrom for anchoring the lens assembly 22 within the eye.
- the plate further includes a hollow, central cylindrical tube portion T extending around axis B-B.
- the tube portion T is concentric with the aperture 26 but has about double the diameter.
- the accommodating lens assembly 22 further comprises a silicone disc 30 received within the tube portion T so as to occupy only a part of its axial dimension.
- the disc 30 has an index of refraction higher than that of water.
- the lens assembly 22 also includes a rigid, plano-convex lens 31 having a diameter slightly smaller than that of the tube portion T but greater than that of the aperture 26.
- the lens 31, which is designed to function like a piston by transferring an applied force to the disc 30, is received within the tube portion T to fill the space left unoccupied by the disc 30 and to press, with its planar face, the disc 30 up against the plate 24.
- the plano-convex lens 31 has a fixed radius of curvature and an index of refraction higher than that of water.
- Figs. 4A and 4B show the haptics plate 24 of the assembly 22 anchored, using the teeth 29, to the eye's scleral wall S at two locations, each being between the ciliary body CB and the iris I.
- the silicone disc 30 is sandwiched between the haptics plate 24 and the lens 31, which directly contacts the capsular unit 1 with its convex side.
- Fig. 4B shows an increase in tension in the capsular unit 1 compared to Fig. 4A, which occurs upon relaxation of the ciliary body CB.
- This increase in tension applies a forward force on the lens 31 along the axis in the direction of the iris I.
- the applied force pushes the lens 31, which functions like a piston and presses, in turn, on the silicone disc 30, causing it to protrude from the aperture 26 in the form of a bulge 35 having a radius of curvature depending on the force.
- the bulge 35 serves to add to the refractive power afforded by the convex curvature of lens 31.
- the eye E is given the ability to focus on nearer objects by changing the magnitude of the applied force and hence the radius of the bulge 35 until the object is focused on the retina R.
- FIG. 5A and 5B Yet another example of a lens assembly 42 in accordance with the present invention for implantation into the eye E is shown in a preferred embodiment in Figs. 5A and 5B.
- the lens assembly 42 is similar to the lens assembly 2in that it comprises a haptics plate 44 with an aperture 45, which is occupied by a rigid lens 46, similarly to lens 6 in Fig. 1A.
- the lens assembly 42 comprises a piston member 51.
- the piston member 51 has a cylindrical cavity 52 formed therein, into which the silicone disc 50 is adapted to bulge.
- the member 51 is adapted transfer an axial force applied by the capsular unit 1 to silicone disc 50 sandwiched between the member 51 and the plate 44.
- the piston member 51 is similar to plano-convex lens 31 shown e.g. in Fig. 4A, but differs in that it does not have the additional ability to operate as a lens.
- the piston member 51 of the lens assembly 42 transfers the axial force, created thereon by changes of tension in the capsular unit 1, to the silicone disc 50, causing it to form a bulge 54, which protrudes back into the cavity 52.
- the bulge 54 has a radius of curvature whose value varies depending on the magnitude of the force.
- the bulge 54 serves to provide the assembly 42 with a refractive power, whose magnitude can be varied by the force applied by the capsular unit 1 and controlled by the contraction and relaxation of muscles in the eye's ciliary body CB.
