Definitions
- the invention pertains to accommodating intraocular lens assemblies.
- AIOL intraocular lens
- the AIOL assemblies each include a haptics system adapted to be securely fixed in a human eye's annular ciliary sulcus at at least two spaced apart stationary anchor points so that it may act as a reference plane for an AIOL of continuously variable Diopter strength affected by a human eye's capsular diaphragm under control of its sphincter-like ciliary body and acting thereagainst from a posterior direction.
- the haptics systems include a rigid planar haptics plate with a telescoping haptics member for sliding extension.
- the haptics plate and the haptics member are preferably self- anchoring as illustrated and described in commonly owned PCT International Application No. PCT/IL02/00128 entitled Intraocular Lens and published on 29 August 2002 under PCT International Publication No. WO 02/065951, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- PCT International Application No. PCT/IL2005/000456 entitled Accommodating Intraocular Lens Assemblies and Accommodation Measurement Implant and published on 10 November 2005 under PCT International Publication No. WO 2005/104994 illustrates and describes AIOL assemblies enabling post implantation in situ manual selective displacement of an AIOL along a human eye's visual axis relative to at least two spaced apart stationary anchor points to a desired position to ensure that an AIOL assumes a non-compressed state in a human eye's constricted ciliary body state.
- Such in situ manual selective displacement can be effected post implantation to correct for capsular contraction which is a natural reaction which typically develops over a few months following extraction of the contents of a human eye's natural crystalline lens, and also a subject's changing eyesight overtime with minimal clinical intervention.
- Such in situ manual selective displacement can be achieved as follows: First, a discrete haptics system for retaining a discrete AIOL which is manually displaceable relative thereto. And second, a haptics system with at least two haptics having radiation sensitive regions capable of undergoing plastic deformation for in situ manual displacement of an integrally formed AIOL.
- AIOL Accommodating Intraocular Lens
- PCT International Application No. PCT/IL2005/001069 entitled Accommodating Intraocular Lens (AIOL), and AIOL Assemblies Including Same illustrates and describes an AIOL including a biasing mechanism for elastically deforming an elastically deformable shape memory disk-like optical element for affording the AIOL a natural positive Diopter strength for near vision.
- the AIOL is intended to be implanted in a human eye such that relaxation of its ciliary body causes its capsular diaphragm to apply an external force for overcoming the biasing mechanism to reduce the AIOL' s natural positive Diopter strength for distance vision.
- One aspect of the present invention is directed towards accommodating intraocular (AIOL) assemblies each including at least one shape memory optical element resiliently elastically deformable between a non-compressed shape with a first Diopter strength and a compressed shape with a second Diopter strength different than its first Diopter strength such that an AIOL has a continuously variable Diopter strength between a minimum Diopter strength for distance vision purposes and a maximum Diopter strength for near vision purposes.
- AIOL intraocular
- the AIOL assemblies are intended for in situ manual selective displacement of an AIOL along a human eye's visual axis relative to stationary anchor points after implantation for enabling accurate AIOL deployment to take full advantage of the reciprocal movement of a human eye's capsular diaphragm between its constricted ciliary body position and its relaxed ciliary body position.
- Axial displacement may be over a continuous range in a similar manner to aforesaid WO 2005/104994 or alternatively at discrete axial stopping positions typically from about lOO ⁇ m to about 300 ⁇ m apart.
- Stepwise axial displacement is preferably enabled by a so-called "push and twist" bayonet arrangement similar to a conventional light bulb fitting having a single stopping position.
- the AIOL assemblies each include a haptics system also suitable for self-anchoring implantation of a fixed Diopter strength IOL in a human eye as opposed to an AIOL having a variable Diopter strength.
- Another aspect of the present invention is directed towards AIOLs which lend themselves to be at least partially folded under reasonable forces as can be applied using conventional ophthalmic surgical tools, for example, tweezers, for facilitating insertion into a human eye through a relatively small incision.
- the AIOLs can be provided as discrete components for use with discrete haptics - A - systems for enabling aforesaid in situ axial displacement.
- the discrete AIOLs are provided with typically two or more manipulation apertures accessible from an anterior side for receiving the tip of a handheld manipulation tool for enabling in situ manipulation.
- the manipulation apertures may be in the form of peripheral disposed manipulation rings, blind manipulation notches, and the like.
- the AIOLs can be integrally formed with a haptics system including at least two elongated haptics having radiation sensitive regions capable of undergoing plastic deformation for enabling aforesaid in situ axial displacement.

- Figures 1 and 2 are cross section views of an anterior part of a human eye
- the human eye 10 having a visual axis VA in its natural near and distance vision conditions, respectively, in an axial plane of the human body.
- the human eye 10 has a cornea 11 peripherally connected to a spherical exterior body made of tough connective tissue known as the sclera 12 at an annular sclero-corneal juncture 13.
- An iris 14 inwardly extends into the human eye 10 from its root 16 at the sclero- corneal juncture 13 to divide the human eye's anterior part into an anterior chamber 17 and a posterior chamber 18.
- a sphincter-like peripheral structure known as the ciliary body 19 includes ciliary processes housing ciliary muscles 21 fired by parasympathetic nerves.
- the ciliary muscles 21 are connected to zonular fibers 22 which in turn are peripherally connected to the equatorial edge of a membrane known as the capsular bag 23 with an anterior capsule 24 and a posterior capsule 26 enrobing a natural crystalline lens 27.
- the iris's root 16 and the ciliary body 19 delimit a portion of the interior surface of the sclera 12 at the sclero-corneal juncture 13 known as the ciliary sulcus 28.
- Remnants of the anterior capsule 24 which may remain after extraction of the natural crystalline lens 27 and the intact posterior capsule 26 are referred to hereinafter as the capsular diaphragm 29.
- Contraction of the ciliary body 19 allows the lens 27 to thicken to its natural thickness Tl along the visual axis VA for greater positive optical power for near vision (see Figure 1).
- Relaxation of the ciliary body 19 tensions the zonular fibers 22 which draws the capsular bag 23 radially outward as shown by arrows A for compressing the lens 27 to shorten its thickness along the visual axis VA to T2 ⁇ T1 for lower positive optical power for distance vision (see Figure 2).
- Figure 3 shows a "push and twist" AIOL assembly 31 for self-anchoring in a human eye's ciliary sulcus 28 for preferably enabling spectacle free vision over the nominal range of human vision.
- the AIOL assembly 31 includes a discrete haptics system 32 for selectively retaining a discrete AIOL 33, and a "push and twist" bayonet arrangement 34 for effecting stepwise axial displacement of the AIOL 33 relative to the haptics system 32 and therefore along a human eye's visual axis.
- a handheld manipulation tool 36 with an elongated shaft 37 and an inclined end piece 38 with a tip 38A is employed for assembling the AIOL assembly 31 in situ and for manipulating the AIOL 33 for stepwise axial displacement relative to the haptics system 32.
- the haptics system 32 is made from suitable rigid bio-compatible transparent polymer material such as PMMA, and the like.
- the haptics system 32 has a longitudinal axis 39 intended to be co-directional with a human eye's visual axis.
- the haptics system 32 includes a tubular main body 41 with a diameter Dl in the region of 4mm - 5mm corresponding to a human eye's pupil, and an axial length Ll of lmm ⁇ 0.5mm along the longitudinal axis 39 (see Figure 10).
- the haptics system 32 has a pair of diametrically opposite elongated C- shaped haptics 42 extending from its main body 41 in opposite directions in a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis 39.
- the haptics 42 have a thin profile in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 39 such that they are sufficiently flexible under reasonable forces as can be applied using conventional ophthalmic surgical tools for encircling around the main body 41 shown by arrow C for facilitating insertion of the haptics system 32 into a human eye through a relatively small incision.
- Figure 3 shows a haptics 42 in dashed lines for showing its encircling around the main body 41.
- the haptics 42 have a wide profile along the longitudinal axis 39 such that they are rigid against a compression force therealong.
- the haptics' wide profile preferably tapers from its proximal end 42A adjacent the main body 41 to its distal end 42B remote therefrom and terminating at a bifurcated attachment plate 43.
- Figure 4 shows an attachment plate 43 has a near square shape in a front view in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 39 and is formed with a pair of spaced apart pointed puncturing members 44 of sufficient strength for forced penetration into the tough connective tissue of a human eye's sclera 12.
- the attachment plate 43 has an isosceles shaped cutout 46 pointing towards its haptics 42 to leave a central narrow juncture 47 for determining the maximal penetration of the attachment plate 43 into a human eye's sclera 12 on its abutment thereagainst.
- the puncturing members 44 have tips 44A with a minimum tip separation TS of at least 1 mm and preferably between about 2 mm and 3 mm in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 39.
- the puncturing members 44 have a minimum tip height TH of at least 0.5 mm as measured between the tips 44A and the juncture 47 such that they can penetrate slightly more than half of a sclera's thickness of about lmm.
- the tip height TH is preferably between about 0.8 mm and 1.3 mm.
- the attachment plates 43 are formed with a manipulation aperture 48 in the central portion between the cutout 46 and the haptics 42 for selectively receiving the handheld manipulation tool's tip 38A for in situ manipulation purposes.
- the manipulation aperture 48 is preferably constituted by an about 0.4mm diameter throughgoing bore.
- the main body 41 has an internal surface 51 formed with two or more equidistant stepped tracks 52 only one of which is visible in Figure 3.
- Figure 5 shows a stepped track 52 has three axial directed channels 53A, 53B and 53C enabling axial displacement of the AIOL 33 relative to the haptics system 32 and three peripheral grooves 54A, 54B and 54C enabling rotational displacement of the AIOL 33 relative to the haptics system 32 and precluding inadvertent slipping of the AIOL 33 in an axial direction relative to a human eye's visual axis.
- the axial directed channels have peripheral widths W.
- the peripheral grooves 54A correspond to a most posterior stopping position
- the peripheral grooves 54B correspond to an intermediate position
- the peripheral grooves 54C correspond to a most anterior position of an AIOL along a human eye's visual axis, respectively.
- Figures 3, 8 and 9 show the AIOL 33 has a longitudinal axis 56 intended to be co-directional with a human eye's visual axis, and a hollow flattened spherical shaped housing 57, an annular anterior member 58 with a leading surface 58A, and a posterior member 59 having a trailing surface 59A.
- the leading surface 58A has an internal rim 61 defining an anterior facing aperture 62 having a diameter slightly smaller than that of the main body 41.
- the housing 57 defines a cavity 63 housing a shape memory optical element 64 with a leading surface 66 with a central portion 66A exposed through the aperture 62.
- the posterior member 59 can be formed without any optical power or preferably as a plano-convex optical member with positive Diopter strength as shown.
- the housing 57 has a diameter D2 of at least 6mm for an adult sized AIOL 33, and preferably of about 7mm ⁇ lmm so as to bear against a major portion of a human eye's capsular diaphragm 29 (see Figure 10).
- the AIOL 33 includes a rigid tubular casing 67 having an axial length L2 and a leading end 67A for facing in an anterior direction in a human eye, and a trailing end 67B for facing in a posterior direction in a human eye (see Figure 10).
- the trailing end 67B is formed with a groove 68 for receiving the internal rim 61 whereupon the casing 67 can reciprocate relative thereto for selectively compressing the optical element 64.
- the casing 67 has a peripheral cylindrical surface 69 with lugs 71 for traveling along the stepped tracks 52.
- the housing 57 is formed with manipulation rings 72 on its peripheral rim 57A and/or blind manipulation notches 73 on its leading surface 58A for selectively receiving the handheld manipulation tool's tip 38A for enabling in situ manipulation of the AIOL 33 from an anterior direction on implantation of the AIOL 33 in a human eye.
- the housing 57, the optical element 64 and the casing 67 are preferably formed from suitable biocompatible transparent polymer material of different consistencies which can be elastically deformed under reasonable forces as can be applied using conventional ophthalmic surgical tools, for example, tweezers 74, and the like, for facilitating insertion of the AIOL 33 into a human eye through a relatively small incision (see Figure 6).
- the casing 67 is typically formed from a relatively rigid polymer material, for example, PMMA, whilst the housing 57 is formed from less rigid silicone or acrylic based polymer material, and the optical element 64 is formed from still softer silicone gel, or softer acrylic based polymer material.
- the housing 57 can be formed from MED6400 polymer material and the optical element 64 can be formed from MED3-6300 polymer material both polymer materials being commercially available from NuSiI Silicon Technology, Inc., California, USA (www.nusil.com) .
- Figure 7 shows a unitary AIOL assembly 80 having a longitudinal axis 81 intended to be co-directional with a human eye's visual axis, and a haptics system 82 integrally formed with the AIOL 33 which thereby effectively acts as the haptics system's main body.
- the haptics system 82 includes a pair of diametrically opposite elongated C-shaped haptics 83 extending from its AIOL 33 in opposite directions in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 81 in a similar manner to the haptics system 32.
- the haptics 83 have regions 84 impregnated with radiation sensitive bio-compatible materials such as IR sensitive indocyanine green (ICG), and the like, such that they are capable of being plastically deformed on heating to a so-called glass transmission temperature to enable post implantation in situ axial displacement as illustrated and described in aforesaid WO2005/104994.
- Figure 8 shows the non-compressed shape of the optical element 64 has a continuous slightly curvilinear leading surface 66 including its exposed central portion 66A in the AIOL 's non-compressed state.
- Figure 9 shows the compressed shape of the optical element 64 bulging anteriorly into the casing 67 on applying a compression force F along its longitudinal axis 39 for compressing the AIOL 33 into its compressed state.
- the bulging shape is dependent on the compression force and bulges more in its compressed shape than its non- compressed shape whereby the AIOL 33 has a continuously variable Diopter strength from a minimum Diopter strength suitable for distance vision and a maximum Diopter strength suitable for near vision.
- the optical element 64 typically has a refractive index similar to that of the natural crystalline lens 27 or greater whereupon its non-compressed state is suitable for distance vision and its compressed state is suitable for near vision. In the case that the optical element 64 has a refractive index less than the human eye's aqueous humor, the optical element 64 acts as a concave lens such that its non-compressed state is suitable for near vision and its compressed state is suitable for distance vision.
- Figures 10-13 show the use of the "push and twist" bayonet arrangement 34 for in situ adjustment of the AIOL 33 along a human eye's visual axis.
- the AIOL 33 is deployed posterior to the haptics system 32 and is rotated to align its lugs 71 with the channels 53A.
- the AIOL 33 is displaced in an anterior direction to insert its lugs 71 into the channels 53A and is rotated in a clockwise direction on facing the AIOL 33 from a posterior direction to midway along the grooves 54A for assuming its most posterior position (see Figure 11).
- Positioning the AIOL 33 at its intermediate stopping position along a human eye's visual axis denoted by S2 ⁇ S1 involves a further clockwise rotation of the AIOL 33 relative to the haptics system 32 to reach the channels 53B, displacing the AIOL 33 in an anterior direction along the channels 53B to reach the grooves 54B, and a clockwise rotation of the AIOL 33 relative to the haptics system 32 (see Figure 12).
- Positioning the AIOL 33 at its most anterior position along a human eye's visual axis denoted by S3 ⁇ S2 involves a further clockwise rotation of the AIOL 33 relative to the haptics system 32 to reach the channels 53C, displacing the AIOL 33 in an anterior direction along the channels 53C to reach the grooves 54C, and a further clockwise rotation of the AIOL 33 relative to the haptics system 32 (see Figure 13).
- Implantation of the AIOL assembly 31 in a human eye 10 after removal of its natural crystalline lens 27 to leave its double layered capsular diaphragm 29 including remnants of its anterior capsule 24 overlying its still intact posterior capsule 26 is now described with reference to Figures 14 and 15.
- the AIOL assembly 31 is set up such that the AIOL's longitudinal axis 56 coincides with the haptics system's longitudinal axis 39.
- the AIOL assembly 31 is typically implanted into a human eye 10 after administration of topical drops of a cycloplegic drug for relaxing its iris muscles, thereby dilating its pupil for facilitating access to its posterior chamber 18 immediately behind its iris 14.
- FIG. 14 shows that the haptics system's puncturing members 44 are forcibly inserted into the sclera 12 at stationary anchor points AP for retaining the AIOL assembly 31 in the annular ciliary sulcus 28.
- Figure 14 also shows that the AIOL assembly 31 is deployed such that its longitudinal axes 41 and 56 are co-directional and preferably co-axial with the human eye's visual axis VA and the trailing surface 59A is urged in a posterior direction against the capsular diaphragm 29 tensioning same to become sufficiently taut to urge the AIOL 33 to its compressed state as shown in Figure 9.
- the AIOL 33 is so deployed that constriction of the ciliary body 19 is intended to enable the AIOL 33 to assume its non-compressed state as shown in Figure 8 thereby affording accommodation over the full range of the reciprocal movement of the human eye's capsular diaphragm 29.
- the AIOL 33 is unable to assume its fully non-compressed state in the human eye's constricted ciliary body state such that it remains at least partially compressed depending on the degree of the capsular contraction thereby diminishing its accommodation ability.
- the accommodation ability of the AIOL 33 is restored by moving the AIOL 33 in an anterior direction to either its intermediate stopping position or its most anterior stopping position (see Figure 15).
- Figure 16 show an AIOL assembly 90 including a discrete haptics system 32 and a discrete dual bellows-like AIOL 91.

- the optical element 103 bulges more into the optical element 102 with a greater compression force whereby the AIOL 91 has a continuously variable Diopter strength from a minimum Diopter strength suitable for distance vision and a maximum Diopter strength suitable for near vision.
- the optical element 102 preferably has a refractive index n2 which is greater than the optical element's refractive index nl whereby the curved surface 104B acts as a concave lens with a negative optical power such that the AIOL 91 is suitable for near vision in its non-compressed state (see Figures 18 and 20) and distance vision in its compressed state (see Figures 19 and 21).
- the AIOL 91 can be engineered to produce very high negative refractive power in its compressed state so that a subject's eye will have a total negative power on application of a compression force F.
- a subject can wear spectacles with positive lenses whereby the subject's eye and his spectacles constitute a Gallilean telescope enabling him to see far objects in a magnified fashion.
