A dual optic accommodating foldable intraocular lens.

摘要

Aim: To design an accommodating intraocular lens with extended accommodative range that can be adapted to current standard phacoemulsification and endocapsular implantation technique. METHOD: Ray tracing analysis and lens design; cadaver eye implantation. RESULTS: Ray tracing analysis indicated that axial movement of an exaggerated converging anterior optic linked by spring loaded haptics to a compensatory static diverging posterior optic produced greater change in conjugation power of the eye compared to axial movement of a single optic lens. A dual optic one piece foldable silicone lens was constructed and implanted via a 4 mm corneal incision into the capsular bag of two cadaver eyes. CONCLUSION: A dual optic intraocular lens design can increase the optical effect of a given displacement and suggests improvements for accommodating intraocular lenses.
