Buttressed Haptic Design for Accommodating Intraocular Lens
This invention is a buttressed haptic that actuates the mechanically accommodating intraocular lens from the eye’s ciliary muscle. The technology allows the eye to change its focal distance using the eye’s natural mechanism of ciliary body muscle tension. The haptic receives radial tension from relaxation of the ciliary muscle to provide...
