- The natural human lens provides only limited depth of focus, with clear vision only over a limited range of distance.
- The present invention provides increased depth of focus by positioning an optic posteriorly in the eye by disposing it on a substantially rigid frame which is configurated to vault posteriorly, thus enabling accurate viewing over a wider range of distances with greater distance between the cornea and the optic, and the further posteriorly the positioning of the optic, the higher the power of the optic, and the less the lens movement required for a given power change.
- The frame may preferably have plate haptics with transversely extending loops at the outer ends of the haptics to engage peripheral portions of the capsular bag of the eye and center the lens. The haptics may preferably be such as that shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,051,024, “Intraocular Lenses with Fixated Haptics”.
- The optic utilized with the invention is substantially smaller than the natural human lens. Whereas the natural human lens is about 5.0 mm in thickness, an optic utilized with the invention may typically be 1.0 mm, and may range between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm. The optic may preferably be similar to that shown and described in Applicant's application Ser. No. 09/370,235, “Lens For Increased Depth of Focus.”

said frame defining a central generally circular opening disposed through said frame,
said frame having transverse slots spaced oppositely from said frame opening, and
an optic adapted to be disposed adjacent said frame opening, said optic having mounting portions extending oppositely therefrom for engagement in said frame slots to retain the optic relative to the frame wherein an enlarged opening is defined in each of said haptics, and extends into proximity with said slots to define a substantially narrow hinge portion to substantially narrow haptic portions to facilitate bending of the lens along its longitudinal axis,
whereby light refracted by the cornea of the eye travels an increased distance to the optic to substantially increase depth of focus.
7. An intraocular lens assembly for increased depth of focus, comprising:
a pair of relatively rigid spaced-apart frame members adapted for engagement with the periphery of a capsular bag of the eye, said pair of frame members disposed oppositely and longitudinally about said optic, said frame members having end portions extending oppositely and transversely to engage in the peripheral portions of the capsular bag, said frame members having lateral edges disposed on the outer periphery of the frame members, and
a web secured to and extending between said frame members and having thereon an optic, the web having portions extending oppositely from the optic, the web portions being bifurcated and having lugs and loops thereon, and said frame members having slits defined therein to receive the lugs of the web portions, and the lugs and loops being generally disposed equidistant from a center of the optic.
8. An intraocular lens assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said lens assembly is foldable longitudinally through the optic but rigid in each of the two haptics.
