Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un implant intrao- culaire destiné à tre implanté aux lieu et place du cristallin naturel à la suite d'une opération de la cataracte. The present invention relates to an intraocular implant intended to be implanted in place of the natural lens following a cataract operation.
L'accommodation est le processus par lequel l'oeil met au point sur les objets rapprochés au moyen d'une déformation contrôlée et d'une augmentation de la courbure des surfaces du cristallin. Le mécanisme d'accommodation parvient de la contraction du muscle ciliaire qui relâche les tensions de la zonule et permet au cristallin de prendre une forme plus ronde. A l'inverse, lorsque l'oeil met au point à l'infini, le muscle ciliaire est relâché, la zonule est sous tension et la lentille est sous une contrainte maximale prenant ainsi une forme plus plate. Accommodation is the process by which the eye focuses on close objects by means of controlled deformation and increased curvature of the lens surfaces. The accommodation mechanism comes from the contraction of the ciliary muscle which releases the tensions of the zonule and allows the lens to take a more round shape. Conversely, when the eye develops infinitely, the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the zonule is under tension and the lens is under maximum stress thus taking a flatter shape.
Tous les individus perdent leur aptitude à accommoder généralement au cours de la cinquantaine et doivent porter des verres correcteurs pour lire ou pour des travaux rapprochés, ceci étant appelé la presbytie.All individuals lose their ability to generally accommodate during their fifties and must wear corrective lenses for reading or for close work, this being called presbyopia.
La presbytie est due à plusieurs facteurs, notamment au changement de toutes les composantes de l'appareil accommodatif : durcissement du matériau formant le cristallin qui fait que ce cristallin est moins déformable et changement dans sa géométrie produit par la croissance continue du cristallin. Ces changements comptent pour une grande part dans la réduction de l'accommodation avec l'âge et la survenance de la presbytie. Presbyopia is due to several factors, in particular the change in all the components of the accommodative apparatus: hardening of the material forming the lens which makes this lens less deformable and change in its geometry produced by the continuous growth of the lens. These changes account for a large part in the reduction of accommodation with age and the occurrence of presbyopia.
L'opacification du cristallin est appelée cataracte ; cela conduit à la perte de la vision. La cause la plus commune de la cataracte est l'âge. L'opération de la cataracte avec implantation d'une lentille intraoculaire en polymère est la procédure chirurgicale la plus commune. La lentille opaque est retirée au travers d'une ouverture circulaire et centrale sur la capsule antérieure appelée capsulorhexis. L'ouverture est habituellement de cinq à six millimètres en diamètre et commence environ à deux millimè- tres de l'insertion antérieure de la zonule. La phacoémul- sification est le procédé par lequel on fragmente par ultrasons le matériau cristallinien qui est ensuite retiré par aspiration. Une lentille synthétique en polymétylméta- crilate (PMMA) ou souple et pliable en polymère acrylique ou à base de silicone est ensuite insérée à l'intérieur du sac capsulaire. La puissance optique de la lentille intraoculaire est généralement choisie pour minimiser la déficience réfractive post-opératoire du patient mais le pouvoir de mise au point de la lentille est fixe, ce qui ne permet pas d'obtenir une accommodation. Clouding of the lens is called a cataract; this leads to loss of vision. The most common cause of cataracts is age. The most common surgical procedure is cataract surgery with implantation of a polymeric intraocular lens. The opaque lens is removed through a circular, central opening on the anterior capsule called capsulorhexis. The opening is usually five to six millimeters in diameter and begins about two millimeters from the anterior insertion of the zonule. Phacoemulsification is the process by which the lens material is ultrasonically fragmented which is then removed by aspiration. A synthetic polymethylmethacrilate (PMMA) or flexible and foldable acrylic or silicone-based lens is then inserted inside the capsular bag. The optical power of the intraocular lens is generally chosen to minimize the patient's post-operative refractive impairment, but the focusing power of the lens is fixed, which does not allow accommodation to be obtained.
De nombreux essais ont été tentés pour restaurer au moins partiellement l'aptitude à l'accommodation avec une lentille intraoculaire. C'est ainsi que le document US 5 607 472 propose une lentille en au moins deux parties, une première partie postérieure apportant la principale fraction de puissance optique à la lentille portant devant elle une seconde partie déformable qui est reliée au centre à la première partie et qui est reliée en périphérie au bord de l'ouverture de capsulorhexis. Outre le fait que cette lentille est complexe, la liaison de la seconde partie au bord de l'ouverture de la paroi antérieure du sac capsulaire est loin d'tre pratiquée avec succès. Numerous attempts have been made to at least partially restore the ability to accommodate with an intraocular lens. Thus the document US Pat. No. 5,607,472 proposes a lens in at least two parts, a first posterior part bringing the main fraction of optical power to the lens carrying in front of it a second deformable part which is connected in the center to the first part. and which is connected at the periphery to the edge of the capsulorhexis opening. Besides the fact that this lens is complex, the connection of the second part to the edge of the opening of the anterior wall of the capsular bag is far from being successfully practiced.
La société allemande MORCHER a proposé une lentille intraoculaire qui est implantée dans le sac capsulaire. Cette lentille comprend une partie optique centrale d'environ cinq millimètres et demi entourée par une jupe fine s'étendant vers l'arrière de la partie optique avec des orifices, cette jupe étant bordée par un anneau de renforcement circulaire avec des encoches. Le diamètre total de cet implant est de dix millimètres. Cet implant porte contre la partie interne périphérique de la capsule antérieure. Ainsi, quand la zonule, par l'intermé- diaire du muscle auxiliaire, exerce une tension sur la circonférence du sac capsulaire, la lentille est déplacée vers l'arrière, ce qui change la réfraction de l'oeil. The German company MORCHER has proposed an intraocular lens which is implanted in the capsular bag. This lens comprises a central optical part of approximately five and a half millimeters surrounded by a thin skirt extending towards the rear of the optical part with orifices, this skirt being bordered by a circular reinforcing ring with notches. The total diameter of this implant is ten millimeters. This implant bears against the peripheral internal part of the anterior capsule. Thus, when the zonule, via the auxiliary muscle, exerts a tension on the circumference of the capsular bag, the lens is moved backwards, which changes the refraction of the eye.
L'évaluation clinique de cette technique a fait apparaître que les modifications du pouvoir rfractif de l'oeil sont limitées. En plus de cette possibilité limitée d'accommoder, la procédure d'implantation demande une incision plus longue que celle nécessaire à implanter des lentilles pliables non accommodatives.Clinical evaluation of this technique has shown that changes in the refractive power of the eye are limited. In addition to this limited possibility of accommodation, the implantation procedure requires a longer incision than that necessary to implant non-accommodative foldable lenses.
Pour pallier l'inconvénient des lentilles accommodatives existantes qui résident principalement dans le fait qu'il convient de pratiquer une incision large dans la cornée pour pouvoir introduire une telle lentille dont le diamètre extérieur et souvent voisin de dix millimètres, la présente invention met en oeuvre une lentille en deux parties à savoir un tendeur capsulaire qui supporte une partie optique l'un et l'autre étant introduit successivement dans le sac capsulaire. To overcome the drawback of existing accommodative lenses which mainly reside in the fact that it is necessary to make a wide incision in the cornea in order to be able to introduce such a lens whose external diameter and often close to ten millimeters, the present invention implements a two-part lens, namely a capsular tensioner which supports an optical part, both being successively introduced into the capsular bag.
Plus précisément l'invention a pour objet un implant intraoculaire accommodatif comprenant une lentille avec une partie optique centrale et une partie périphérique de maintien de celle-ci dans le sac capsulaire et de transmission à la partie optique des forces et déplacements de la partie équatoriale du sac capsulaire résultant du changement d'état du muscle ciliaire. Selon l'invention, la partie périphérique est une pièce annulaire en forme de gouttière ouverte vers l'intérieur avec une aile postérieure au contact de la paroi postérieure et une aile antérieure au contact de la partie périphérique restante de la paroi antérieure du sac capsulaire, l'aile antérieure comportant au moins deux pattes en forme de crochets en saillie radiale du bord de l'aile. La partie optique est quant à elle une pièce en forme de disque comportant au moins deux ouvertures dans sa zone périphérique au moyen desquelles elle est suspendue à la pièce annulaire. More precisely, the subject of the invention is an accommodative intraocular implant comprising a lens with a central optical part and a peripheral part for holding the latter in the capsular bag and for transmitting to the optical part the forces and displacements of the equatorial part of the capsular bag resulting from the change in state of the ciliary muscle. According to the invention, the peripheral part is an annular piece in the form of a gutter open inwards with a posterior wing in contact with the posterior wall and an anterior wing in contact with the remaining peripheral part of the anterior wall of the capsular bag, the fore wing comprising at least two legs in the form of hooks projecting radially from the edge of the wing. The optical part is for its part a disc-shaped part comprising at least two openings in its peripheral zone by means of which it is suspended from the annular part.
La pièce annulaire qui, à l'état normal, est de grand diamètre, peut tre pliée dans un faible encombrement afin de pouvoir tre introduite au travers d'une incision cornéenne de longueur limitée. La partie optique est alors un implant de diamètre beaucoup plus réduit (de l'ordre de sept millimètres) qui peut tre également introduit plié au travers de cette petite incision cornéenne. The annular piece which, in the normal state, is of large diameter, can be folded in a small space in order to be able to be introduced through a corneal incision of limited length. The optical part is then an implant of much smaller diameter (of the order of seven millimeters) which can also be introduced folded through this small corneal incision.
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'inven- tion, l'aile antérieure de la partie annulaire comporte au voisinage de sa racine une zone annulaire de flexibilité augmentée. Cette zone peut tre réalisée par un amincissement de la paroi de l'aile à cet endroit. On comprend qu'ainsi la partie optique est suspendue à une aile qui est facilement mobile à la manière d'un levier transformant en déplacements les déformations de la partie équatoriale du sac capsulaire dues aux forces qu'elle subit de la part de la zonule. Elles jouent alors le rôle d'un levier qui, lorsque le sac capsulaire est soumis à la tension de la zonule (vision de loin), repousse la pièce centrale optique vers l'arrière, modifiant ainsi la puissance réfractive de l'oeil dans le sens d'une diminution permettant une mise au point à l'infini. En revanche, lorsque le muscle ciliaire est contracté, c'est-à-dire lorsque la zonule est relâchée, la partie équatoriale du sac capsulaire tend à se rétrécir en diamètre par son élasticité propre, ce qui force la gouttière à s'ouvrir, et notamment l'aile antérieure à remonter vers la cornée tirant ainsi vers l'avant de l'oeil la partie optique de la lentille dans le sens d'une augmentation de la puissance réfractive du système. Il s'agit alors de l'accommodation pour mettre au point sur des objets proches. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the front wing of the annular part comprises, in the vicinity of its root, an annular zone of increased flexibility. This zone can be produced by a thinning of the wall of the wing at this point. It is understood that thus the optical part is suspended from a wing which is easily movable in the manner of a lever transforming in displacements the deformations of the equatorial part of the capsular bag due to the forces which it undergoes on the part of the zonule. They then act as a lever which, when the capsular bag is subjected to the tension of the zonule (far vision), pushes the optical central part backwards, thus modifying the refractive power of the eye in the sense of a decrease allowing a focus to infinity. On the other hand, when the ciliary muscle is contracted, that is to say when the zonule is relaxed, the equatorial part of the capsular bag tends to shrink in diameter by its own elasticity, which forces the gutter to open, and in particular the front wing to go up towards the cornea thus drawing towards the front of the eye the optical part of the lens in the direction of an increase in the refractive power of the system. It is then a question of accommodation for focusing on close objects.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description of one of its embodiments given below by way of nonlimiting examples.

L'implant selon l'invention représenté aux figures 1 à 3 comporte deux pièces. Une première pièce extérieure annulaire 1 dont la section est en forme de gouttière ouverte vers l'intérieur, qui possède une aile antérieure 2 et une aile postérieure 3. L'aile antérieure 2 possède deux pattes 4 et 5, dans le cas de figure diamétralement opposées, qui font saillie à l'intérieur du bord de cette aile et qui sont conformées en crochets à l'intérieur du volume de la gouttière. Ces crochets 4 et 5 sont destinés à retenir la partie optique de l'implant. The implant according to the invention shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises two parts. A first annular outer part 1, the section of which is in the form of a gutter open towards the inside, which has an anterior wing 2 and a posterior wing 3. The anterior wing 2 has two legs 4 and 5, in the case of diametrically opposite, which protrude inside the edge of this wing and which are shaped into hooks inside the volume of the gutter. These hooks 4 and 5 are intended to retain the optical part of the implant.
Cette partie optique est formée par une pièce 6 en forme de disque, ici biconvexe, séparée de la pièce annulaire 1.This optical part is formed by a disc-shaped part 6, here biconvex, separated from the annular part 1.
Cette pièce 6 possède deux orifices 7 et 8 traversants dans lesquels peuvent tre librement logés les crochets 4 et 5.This part 6 has two through holes 7 and 8 in which the hooks 4 and 5 can be freely housed.
On notera à ce propos que la forme intérieure des crochets est telle qu'elle empche pratiquement tout mouvement du disque optique par rapport aux crochets le long de l'axe optique de sorte qu'un déplacement des crochets dont une composante s'étend parallèlement à cet axe entraîne un déplacement correspondant du disque optique. Dans le cas représenté, la forme intérieure des crochets 4 et 6 est anguleuse pour former des butées à la partie du disque extérieure aux orifices 7 et 8 qui est logée à l'intérieur du crochet. On notera que le diamètre extérieur de la pièce 6, de l'ordre de sept millimètres, est supérieur au diamètre du bord des ailes 2 et 3, de sorte que lorsque la pièce 6 est logée à l'intérieur de la gouttière, elle ne peut spontanément s'en échapper. Les diamètres des bords des ailes 2 et 3 ne sont pas égaux, le diamètre le plus grand étant celui du bord de l'aile antérieure 2.Note in this connection that the internal shape of the hooks is such that it prevents practically any movement of the optical disc relative to the hooks along the optical axis so that a displacement of the hooks, one component of which extends parallel to this axis causes a corresponding displacement of the optical disc. In the case shown, the internal shape of the hooks 4 and 6 is angular to form stops at the part of the disc external to the orifices 7 and 8 which is housed inside the hook. Note that the outside diameter of the part 6, of the order of seven millimeters, is greater than the diameter of the edge of the wings 2 and 3, so that when the part 6 is housed inside the gutter, it does not can spontaneously escape. The diameters of the edges of the wings 2 and 3 are not equal, the largest diameter being that of the edge of the front wing 2.
Le fond de la gouttière 1, c'est-à-dire la partie qui relie les deux ailes et qui a le diamètre extérieur maximal (de neuf millimètres et demi à dix millimètres, diamètre qui correspond au diamètre quatorial du sac capsulaire d'un homme d'une trentaine d'années), est d'une épaisseur plus importante que celle qui constitue les ailes 2 et 3. Le choix de cette dimension (9,5-lOmm) permet de prendre en compte le fait qu'au moment de l'opération, le patient étant en général âgé de 60 ans au moins, la lentille cristallinienne est d'un volume accru par rapport à celui qu'elle avait lorsque le patient était plus jeune. The bottom of the gutter 1, that is to say the part which connects the two wings and which has the maximum outside diameter (from nine and a half millimeters to ten millimeters, diameter which corresponds to the quatorial diameter of the capsular bag of a man in his thirties), is of a greater thickness than that which constitutes the wings 2 and 3. The choice of this dimension (9.5-10 mm) makes it possible to take into account the fact that at the time of the operation, the patient generally being at least 60 years old, the lens of the lens is of an increased volume compared to that which it had when the patient was younger.
Le remplacement dans le sac capsulaire du matériau cristallinien par 1'implant selon l'invention, donc de diamètre équatorial plus petit que celui du sac au moment de l'opération, laisse au sac la possibilité de se rétracter partiellement sur l'anneau. La conséquence de cette rétraction réside dans une diminution du relachement des fibres zonulaires que le grossissement du cristallin naturel avait causé. Il s'ensuit que les changements d'état du muscle ciliaire sont mieux transmis à la partie 6quarto- riale du sac capsulaire. En d'autres termes la diminution de ce relâchement permet de transmettre à la capsule une plus grande partie de l'amplitude du déplacement du muscle ciliaire que celle transmissible à la capsule naturelle qui avait grossi.The replacement in the capsular bag of the crystalline material by the implant according to the invention, therefore of equatorial diameter smaller than that of the bag at the time of the operation, leaves the bag with the possibility of partially retracting on the ring. The consequence of this retraction lies in a decrease in the relaxation of the zonular fibers that the enlargement of the natural lens had caused. It follows that changes in the condition of the ciliary muscle are better transmitted to the quarterly part of the capsular bag. In other words, the reduction in this relaxation makes it possible to transmit to the capsule a greater part of the amplitude of the movement of the ciliary muscle than that transmissible to the natural capsule which had grown.
La mise en place de l'implant selon l'invention à l'intérieur du sac capsulaire consiste à replier sur elle-mme la pièce annulaire 1 de manière à en réduire 1'encombrement en section afin de pouvoir l'introduire dans le sac capsulaire par l'intermédiaire d'une incision cornéenne de faible longueur. Une fois la pièce 1 mise en place dans le sac du fait de son élasticité propre, celleci forme un élément de maintien de ce sac pour ajuster son diamètre équatorial à une valeur proche de celle que le cristallin avait lorsque le patient était âgé d'une trentaine d'années. Fixer le diamètre équatorial du sac capsulaire à cette dimension, c'est-à-dire limiter sa rétraction partielle, c'est le placer dans une situation optimale pour bénéficier de l'amplitude maximale des mouvements du muscle ciliaire transmis à ce sac par la zonule, comme expliqué ci-dessus. Pour obtenir ce résultat, on aura choisi une dimension de pièce 1 adéquate, à partir d'une mesure préopératoire du diamètre équatorial du cristallin (par une méthode connue, par exemple par ultrason) à laquelle on aura soustrait entre 0,5 et 0,75 mm pour déterminer le diamètre extérieur de la pièce 1 qui convient. The establishment of the implant according to the invention inside the capsular bag consists in folding over itself the annular part 1 so as to reduce the bulk in section so as to be able to introduce it into the capsular bag through a short corneal incision. Once the part 1 is placed in the bag due to its own elasticity, this forms a holding element for this bag to adjust its equatorial diameter to a value close to that which the lens had when the patient was aged. thirties. Fixing the equatorial diameter of the capsular bag to this dimension, i.e. limiting its partial retraction, is placing it in an optimal situation to benefit from the maximum range of motion of the ciliary muscle transmitted to this bag by the zonule, as explained above. To obtain this result, we will have chosen an adequate part size 1, from a preoperative measurement of the equatorial diameter of the lens (by a known method, for example by ultrasound) from which we will have subtracted between 0.5 and 0, 75 mm to determine the suitable outside diameter of the part 1.
On met ensuite en place la partie optique 6 en l'introduisant dans la gouttière 1 et, au moyen d'un outil spécial, en forçant les crochets 4 et 5 à l'intérieur des orifices 7 et 8. The optical part 6 is then put in place by introducing it into the gutter 1 and, using a special tool, by forcing the hooks 4 and 5 inside the orifices 7 and 8.
Bien entendu les parties 1 et 6 de l'implant sont dans un matériau souple et pliable connu en lui-mme tel qu'un polymère acrylique ou à base de silicone. On aura remarqué aux figures 1 et 3 que le dos 4a et 5a des crochets 4 et 5 est dans le prolongement de la surface extérieure de l'aile antérieure 2. Les crochets peuvent donc ainsi épouser parfaitement ce qui reste de la paroi antérieure du sac capsulaire. On aura également remarqué que la zone de liaison des crochets à l'aile 2 s'effectue par une partie de faible épaisseur qui constitue une sorte de pseudo-articulation des crochets par rapport à la pièce annulaire 1. Cette zone repérée 10 à la figure 1 et 11 aux figures 4 et 5. Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 4 et 5, on a illustré l'effet de levier amplificateur de mouvement joué par les crochets 4 et 5 lors d'une tension des fibres zonulaires 13. Of course, the parts 1 and 6 of the implant are made of a flexible and pliable material known per se, such as an acrylic or silicone-based polymer. It will have been noted in FIGS. 1 and 3 that the back 4a and 5a of the hooks 4 and 5 is in the extension of the external surface of the front wing 2. The hooks can therefore perfectly match what remains of the front wall of the bag capsular. It will also be noted that the zone of connection of the hooks to the wing 2 is effected by a thin part which constitutes a sort of pseudo-articulation of the hooks with respect to the annular part 1. This zone marked 10 in the figure 1 and 11 to FIGS. 4 and 5. In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5, the motion amplifying leverage effect played by the hooks 4 and 5 is illustrated during tensioning of the zonular fibers 13.
La figure 4 est une vue en coupe partielle de l'implant selon l'invention mis en place dans le sac capsulaire 12, à l'étant d'accommodation c'est-à-dire dans sa forme prise sous l'effet de la rétraction élastique de la zone équatoriale du sac capsulaire du fait que la zonule 13 est relâchée (muscle ciliaire contracté). Figure 4 is a partial sectional view of the implant according to the invention placed in the capsular bag 12, in the accommodation being that is to say in its form taken under the effect of elastic retraction of the equatorial zone of the capsular bag due to the fact that the zonule 13 is relaxed (ciliary muscle contracted).
A la figure 5 on a représenté l'état pris par l'implant de l'invention lorsque le muscle ciliaire est relâché, c'est-à-dire que la zonule 13 est tendue, cette tension ayant pour effet d'aplatir la zone équatoriale du sac capsulaire 12, cet aplatissement provoquant un pivotement vers l'intérieur de la gouttière des crochets 4 et 5 autour de la zone de grande flexibilité 11. On comprend que dans cet état la partie optique 6 de l'implant se trouve repoussée vers l'arrière de l'oeil, ce qui affecte la puissance globale du système dans le sens d'une diminution, ce qui est le cas lors d'une accommodation à l'infini. In Figure 5 there is shown the state taken by the implant of the invention when the ciliary muscle is relaxed, that is to say that the zonule 13 is tight, this tension having the effect of flattening the area equatorial of the capsular bag 12, this flattening causing a pivoting towards the inside of the gutter of the hooks 4 and 5 around the zone of great flexibility 11. It is understood that in this state the optical part 6 of the implant is pushed towards the back of the eye, which affects the overall power of the system in the sense of a decrease, which is the case during accommodation to infinity.
L'invention peut prendre d'autres formes de réalisation. Par exemple, on peut mettre en place plus de deux crochets (trois ou quatre) de suspension de la pièce optique dans la pièce annulaire. The invention may take other embodiments. For example, it is possible to place more than two hooks (three or four) for suspending the optical part in the annular part.
