Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8404449A1] An intraocular lens that provides accomodation in response to contraction and relaxation of the ciliary body (14). Accomodation is achieved by motion of the lens (10), or of an element (30, 32) of a lens system, alternately toward and away from the fovea. Means (16, 18) are provided for biasing the lens (10), or the movable element (32), toward the fovea so that when the ciliary body (14) contracts it counters the bias and causes the lens (10) to move away from the fovea toward the cornea.

Abstract (fr)

Lentille intra-oculaire capable d'accomodation en réponse à la contraction et à la relaxation du corps ciliaire (14). L'accomodation est obtenue grâce au mouvement de la lentille (10), ou d'un élément (30, 32) d'un système de lentille, qui s'écarte et se rapproche alternativement de la fovéa. Des orgnanes (16, 18) permettent de solliciter la lentille (10), ou l'élément mobile (32), vers la fovéa de sorte que lorsque le corps ciliaire (14) se contracte il s'oppose à la sollicitation et provoque l'écartement de la lentille (10) de la fovéa vers la cornée.
