چکیده

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.

Axial movement of the dual-optic accommodating intraocular lens for the correction of the presbyopia: optical performance and clinical outcomes.

Presbyopia occurs in the aging eye due to changes in the ciliary muscle, zonular fibers, crystalline lens, and an increased lens sclerosis. As a consequence, the capacity of accommodation decreases, which hampers to focus near objects. With the aim of restoring near vision, different devices that produce multiple focuses have been developed and introduced. However, these devices are still unabl...

Traumatic Partial Aniridia and Cataract after Iris-Fixated Foldable Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

We present the first case of partial aniridia, traumatic cataract, and peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage after blunt trauma to an eye containing a foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (pIOL). Although the patient experienced visual loss because of considerable corneal astigmatism and a traumatic cataract, vision was recovered by a 2-stage primary corneal repair and cataract surgery w...
