Definitions
- the present invention relates to devices and methods for holding and/or packaging optical lenses such as intraocular lenses. More particularly, the present invention relates to a holder and/or packaging device and method for safely supporting an accommodating intraocular lens device having at least two optics interconnected by one or more haptics.
- Intraocular lenses having a single optic have been known and used for many years. More recently, accommodating intraocular lens devices having two optics interconnected by one or more haptics have been disclosed in the following U.S. patents and applications to Faezeh Sarfarazi, the entirety of which are incorporated herein by reference:
- the Sarfarazi accommodating lens device includes two optics, one negative and the other positive for placing in the evacuated lens capsule of an eye.
- the optics are interconnected along their peripheries by one or more haptics which space the optics from each other and assist in properly positioning the device in the eye.
- the haptics are formed from a flexible material such that they may flex in response to forces exerted by the eye's ciliary muscles which control accommodation. The haptics will thus flex and bow further radially outwardly upon a compressive force being applied to the device, whereby the two optics are drawn closer together to achieve an accommodative effect in the eye.
- the ciliary muscles relax, the haptics flex in the opposite direction (toward a straightened positioned) causing the optics to space further apart and the lens device returns the eye to its natural, unaccommodative state.
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of the holder base showing the lens of Fig. 1 spaced above the support posts thereof;
- Figure 5 is a perspective view the holder base showing the lens of Fig. 1 mounted to the support posts thereof;
- Figure 6 is a side elevational view of Fig. 5;
- Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the bottom of the holder base
- Figure 8b is a cross-sectional view taken generally through the line 8b-8b of Figure 8a;
- Figure 10 is a further alternate embodiment of the holder base and cap.
- Holder/package 20 includes a base 22 and a removable cover 24 which may be made of any desired material such as plastic. If the holder/package is to be used to sterilize the lens 10 held thereby, holder/package 20 needs to be made of a material that can withstand the sterilization method employed. For example, when using ETO sterilization, a plastic such as PVC may be used.
- lens 10 is initially positioned above supports 26, 28 as seen in Figs. 3 and 4 with one haptic 16c facing downwardly between supports 26, 28 and haptics 16a, 16b aligned above supports 26, 28, respectively.
- Lens 10 is then lowered toward base 22 with haptics 16a, 16b passing outwardly and over support top segments 26b, 28b until the downward facing edges 16a', 16b' thereof come to rest on shoulders 26c, 28c, respectively.
- This fully mounted position of lens 10 on supports 26, 28 is seen in Figs. 5 and 6. In this position, lower ⁇ most haptic 16c is located between and untouched by supports 26, 28.
- support top segments 26b, 28b may be shaped to more closely conform to the shape of the facing surfaces of the haptics 16a, 16b mounted thereon. More particularly, the outwardly facing surfaces 26b', 28b' of top segments 26b, 26b may be curved to follow the curvature of the inwardly facing surfaces 16a', 16b' of haptics 16a, 16b, respectively (see also Fig. 1). As mentioned above, the spacing of supports 26, 28 enable lens 10 to be mounted thereon substantially as shown and described herein.
- cover top portion 25 is round and skirt 27 is cylindrical although other configurations are possible.
- One or more openings 29a-c may be provided in top portion 25 and/or skirt 27 for passage of sterilizing media therethrough.
- Releasable coupling means are provided which may be in the form of first and second finger portions 31, 33 extending downwardly from the free edge of skirt 27 which cooperate with slots 35, 37 formed in base 22 radially outwardly of supports 26, 28, respectively. As seen best in Fig. 7, the free ends 31a, 33a of finger portions 31, 33 extend through slots 35, 37 upon initial attaching of cover 24 to base 22. Cover 24 is then rotated until the finger free ends 31a, 33a engage with the slot shoulders 35a, 37a (Fig.
- a depression 21 or the like may be formed in base 22 to provide a space in which lens 12 may be inspected and handled (e.g., with tweezers) once removed from supports 26, 28.
- Figures 8a and 8b show an alternate embodiment of a base 122 having first and second spaced supports 126, 128 extending substantially perpendicularly from a base 122.
- Base 122 includes a central circular portion 122a surrounded by a circular wall portion 122b.
- Supports 126, 128 are spaced from wall portion 122b forming a space 123, 125 therebetween.
- Lens device 10 is mounted to base 122 by passing haptics 16a, 16b over and about supports 126, 128 with the haptics 16a, 16b coming to rest in spaces 123, 125, respectively, and optics 12, 14 lying in their relaxed, spaced condition. As seen best in Fig.
- Base 122 thus supports lens device 10 by capturing the haptics between the supports and wall portion with the optics 12, 14 lying spaced and substantially perpendicular to base central circular portion 122a.
- Central circular portion 122a may include a through hole 122c to allow passage of sterilizing media therethrough.
- support 126 is a unitary structure, the opposite side edges 226a, 226b thereof may be considered as first and second supports, respectively, as those terms are used elsewhere herein.
- the support top edge 226d may be convexly curved to generally follow the inside contour of haptic 16c resting thereon.
- lens device 10 is mounted to support 226, optics 12, 14 lie spaced and substantially perpendicular to base portion 222a.
- Figure 10 is yet a further alternate embodiment of a base 322 having first and second supports 326, 328 over which haptics 16a, 16b may extend in a manner similar to the embodiments of Figures 2-9.
