Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an intraocular lens which minimizes the possibility of deformation, distortion or the like of an optical part even when a vesica contracts to compress a support part after the insertion thereof into the vesica. SOLUTION: In this soft intraocular lens, a support part 2 is provided with bend parts 22 and 23 which can deform to reduce any force to be transmitted to an optical part 1 by absorbing at least a part of a compression force as caused when a force is applied from outside to compress the support part 2 so that at least any part of the support 2 is moved toward the optical part 1. The optical part 1 is a circular convex lens comprising a soft optical member and the outer diameter hereof is about 5.0-6.5 mmϕ. The support part 2 is so arranged to be two arm-shaped bodies made of PMMA which are located on the outer circumference part of the optical part 1 and separately extended outward from two parts set in a relation of point symmetry on the center O of the optical part 1.

In the above-mentioned two-piece or three-piece type intraocular lens, the optical part is made of a hard material, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), and a PMM is used as a supporting part for fixing and holding the PMMA optical part.
It is common to use monofilaments such as A, PP (polypropylene), and polyimide. For joining the optical part and the support part, a small hole is mechanically provided in the optical part, and the support part is inserted into the small hole and fixed by staking or fusion by laser irradiation. At the time of fixing, the support part is 5 degrees or 1 degree with respect to a plane orthogonal to the optical axis of the optical part.
In many cases, the angle is set to form an angle of 0 degrees. This is to ensure stable positioning after the lens is settled in the capsule. In addition, PMMA
Is used because it is excellent in transparency, machinability, and stability in the body.

When the intraocular lens is inserted into the capsule, the inside diameter of the capsule shrinks to about 10 mm. The support is compressed accordingly. Generally, the optical section is supported by the action of elastic force generated by compression of the support section. At this time, a part of the elastic force is transmitted to the optical unit. When the optical part is formed of a hard material such as PMMA, there is almost no problem caused by the transmission of the elastic force. However, when the optical unit is made of a soft material, depending on the manner of insertion into the capsule, when the elastic force is transmitted to the optical unit, the optical unit may be deformed or distorted by the force,
Alternatively, it is impossible to deny the possibility that the resolving power and power as designed do not come out because the amount of deviation of the lens does not become constant. The present invention has been made under the above-described background, and a soft intraocular lens having a low possibility that the optical unit is deformed or distorted even if the sac contracts and the support portion is compressed after insertion into the sac. The purpose is to provide.

In the conventional wing type shown in FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the compression force is dispersed once when the support portion is compressed, but the compression force is insufficient due to insufficient dispersion. It is considered that a considerable portion of the force is transmitted to the optical unit, and pushes up or deforms the optical unit in the optical axis direction.

As described above in detail, the present invention is applicable to a case where a force is applied to compress the support from the outside so that at least any part of the support moves toward the optical unit. A bent portion capable of absorbing at least a part of the compressive force by deformation to reduce a force transmitted to the optical portion is provided on the support portion, whereby the capsule is contracted after insertion into the capsule. As a result, a flexible intraocular lens is obtained in which the optical section is less likely to be deformed or distorted even if the support section is compressed.
