Intraocular Device to Restore Natural Capsular Tension after Cataract Surgery

摘要

Provided herein are a devices, ophthalmic lens systems and methods for restoring natural tension and anatomy of a lens capsule post-surgically in an eye of a subject. The device generally comprises an inward tensioning ring-like structure having a shape configured to circumferentially fit within and be anchored to a post-surgical lens capsule of the eye. The device may have one or both of external and internal grooves formed to receive the lens capsule and one or both of an intraoptical lens or a tensioning element. The ophthalmic lens system generally comprises the device and an intraocular lens inserted therein. The anchored device provides tension to an equatorial area of the capsule resulting in a decrease in equatorial diameter.
