2. Description of the Related Art As a treatment for cataract, there is intraocular lens surgery in which an intraocular lens is inserted after the lens is removed. It has been said that intraocular lens surgery has made rapid progress in recent years, and the safety thereof has improved dramatically, and it has become one of the safest surgery categories among surgery. Conventionally, in intraocular lens surgery, anesthesia, sodium hyaluronate, physiological saline and the like, which are directly required for the surgery, have been used only as drugs.

Even in the intraocular lens surgery established as a safe operation, there are postoperative complications such as postoperative inflammation and subsequent cataract which are considered to be caused by the removal of the lens itself. To address these complications, there have been attempts to treat the surface of the intraocular lens to improve its in vivo compatibility. In addition, drugs that suppress complications have been developed, and there are attempts to apply these drugs to the surface of the intraocular lens.

However, it can be attached to various portions such as the position shown in FIG. 4 (the shaded portion in the drawing is the drug-containing portion). 4A shows an example in which the optical unit 1 is attached around the circumference, FIG. 4B shows an example in which the supporting unit 2 itself is a drug-containing unit, and FIG. 4C shows an example in which it is attached to the back surface (or front surface) of the optical unit 1. Here is an example. (D) is an example of attachment to a so-called sleep-piece type intraocular lens in which the optical part 1 and the support part 2 are separately processed and then joined by caulking,
The drug-containing part has legs extending from a disk-shaped part attached to the optical part 1 by caulking or the like. The case of (e) is an example in which a hole is provided in the drug-containing part. In this case, since the surface area of the drug-containing part can be increased, it is also possible to control the rate of drug absorption and sustained release. . Further, a groove may be provided instead of the hole.

In the intraocular lens of the second embodiment, a large number of holes 3'a formed in the medicine holding portion 3'are impregnated with the medicine or the medicine solution, so that the large number of holes bring the medicine into the eye. Serves as a carrier. The drug may be contained in the hole 3′a of the drug holding portion 3 ′ just before the intraocular lens insertion operation as in the first embodiment, or may be contained in advance at the time of manufacturing. In the case of a drug of a type that dissolves in a solution, by preliminarily containing it and then only removing the solvent by drying, the drug is retained in the holes in the form of crystals or powder, and the drug can be easily stored for a long period of time. Furthermore, in this state, the time it takes to function as a drug after dissolution is longer than that in the solution state, so a long-term sustained release effect can be expected (if the sustained release effect is early, It may be returned to the solution before).
