It is less than 90 ° (preferably 45 ° or less, more preferably 30 ° or less). That is, the J-shape as described in Patent Document 1 is not included in the “warp” in the present embodiment.
- the reason why the warp shape is adopted for the distal end portion 32b is that the intraocular lens 1 of the present embodiment is applied to the in-the-bag bag.
- the intraocular lens 1 is compressed by the lens capsule, and pressure is transmitted from the vicinity of the equator of the lens capsule to the distal end portion 32b.
- a portion having a warped shape at the distal end portion 32b is deformed along the lens capsule. That is, by inserting the intraocular lens 1 into the capsular bag, the contact area between the capsular bag and the support unit 3 can be increased, and the intraocular lens 1 (optical unit 2) can be stably disposed. As a result, the occurrence of the eccentric inclination can be more efficiently suppressed. Note that this deformation is possible because the tip 32b has a very narrow shape with a maximum width of 0.3 mm or less.
- the specific position of the warped shape in the present embodiment is, as a preferred example, a portion from the most distal end of the hard support portion 32 to at least 3 mm, more preferably at least 5 mm, and even more preferably at least It is preferable that a 7 mm portion, and preferably a 10 mm portion from the forefront, be warped.
- Another preferred shape is to provide a constriction at the tip 32b (FIG. 7).
- the term “bundling” refers to a state in which the width is wider on both sides of the portion to be constricted and the portion to be constricted is relatively narrow.
- the constriction mentioned here may be formed by narrowing the width of the portion to be constricted, or the constriction may be formed by providing a wide portion on both sides of the constricted portion.
- constriction is formed on the distal end portion 32b
- it may be formed on the proximal end portion 32a. If it is advantageous to sew in the vicinity of the distal end portion 32b according to the technique, a constriction may be formed in the distal end portion 32b. Further, it is preferable to provide the constriction on the inner side of the curve in terms of facilitating the surgical procedure, but it may be provided on the outer side of the curve or on both sides.
- the maximum width of the tip 32b it is preferable if it is 0.2 mm or less. If the maximum width of the tip 32b is narrowed, the effects listed above are further increased.

5.変形例
本実施形態における眼内レンズ1は、図5に示すように、大きく分けて、レンズ機能を有する光学部2と当該光学部2を支持する支持部3を備えたものである。図5は、本実施形態における眼内レンズ1を示す概略図であり、図5(a)は平面図、図5(b)は側面図である。
以下、各構成について、図5を用いて説明する。
光学部2は、レンズ機能を有する比較的軟らかい部分であり、平面視円形の凸レンズ形状に形成されている。光学部2の直径は、眼内レンズ1を眼内の水晶体嚢に挿入するのに適した寸法であれば、どのような寸法に設定してもかまわない。具体的な寸法設定例を記述すると、光学部2の直径Dは、好ましくは、5mm~7mmの範囲に設定すればよく、より好ましくは6.5mmに設定すればよい。眼内レンズ1を眼内に固定する際に比較的大口径の光学部2を使用することにより、小口径の光学部2の場合よりも偏心傾斜の影響を軽減することができる。
支持部3は、光学部2の外周部から外側に延出する状態で形成されている。支持部3は、眼内レンズ1を眼内に挿入したときに光学部2を支持するものである。支持部3は、一つの眼内レンズ1に2つ形成されている。各々の支持部3は、光学部2の中心Cを通る軸線(図中、一点鎖線で示す)が光学部2の外周部に交差する部分から、それぞれ図の反時計回り方向に円弧を描くように延出している。各々の支持部3は、以下のような共通の構造を有している。
軟支持部31は、光学部2の径方向に弾性変形可能な構成になっている。軟支持部31は、全体的に細長く延びていて、これを構成する材料自体も適度な柔軟性をもっている。具体的には、軟支持部31は、前述した光学部2と同じ軟質材料によって一体成形されている。なお、ここで言う「一体成形」とは、同じ部材から光学部2と軟支持部31とが一体となって形成されたことを指すものであり、光学部2と軟支持部31とを別部材として形成してこれを接続したものではない。
硬支持部32は、前述した光学部2および軟支持部31とは硬さの異なる材料によって構成されている。具体的には、軟支持部31よりも硬い硬質材料によって硬支持部32が構成されている。硬支持部32に適用する硬質材料としては、当該硬支持部32に縫合糸を縛りつける場合に、多少強く縛りつけてもその部分がちぎれない程度の強度を保証できるものであればよい。具体的には、例えば、PMMA(ポリメチルメタクリレート)などの硬質の樹脂材料を用いることができる。硬支持部32の末端は、眼球の組織に接触してもこれにダメージを与えないように、若干丸みを帯びている。また、支持部3を構成する軟支持部31と硬支持部32は、それぞれの部位の材料が異なるだけで、構造的には一体化されている。
硬支持部32を構成する基端部32aは、先に述べた軟支持部31と、硬支持部32を構成する別の部分であって後述の幅狭形状の先端部32bとを繋ぐ部分であり、支持部3全体から見たときの幅の変化を滑らかに行うための部分である。具体的に言うと、支持部3の外側の湾曲の曲率はそのままとしつつも内側の湾曲の曲率を変化させることにより、先端側に向けて硬支持部32を徐々に幅狭とする役割を基端部32aは担う。
先端部32bは硬支持部32の先端に位置する部分である。先端部32bの最大幅は0.3mm以下とし、幅狭形状(言い方を変えれば極細形状)としている。本実施形態においては、先に述べた種々の構成(特に、軟らかい光学部2と軟支持部31との一体成形)に加え、硬質な先端部32bを幅狭形状とすることにより、様々な相乗効果が得られる。以下、詳述する。
例えば、仮に先端部32bの最大幅が大きい場合、先端部32bの幅の大きさに応じて眼の各組織を縫合する際に広い範囲で縫合しなければならず、患者に与える負担が大きくなる。
また、先端部32bの最大幅が0.3mm以下という極めて幅が狭い形状だと、先端部32bを局所的にきつく縫合することが可能となり、縫着糸が外れにくくなる。逆に、先端部32bの最大幅が大きい場合、先端部32bに縫着糸を巻き付ける際に一箇所に巻き付け箇所を集めにくくなり、先端部32bを局所的にきつく縫合することができない。
なお、ここで言う括れは、括れとなる箇所の幅を狭くすることにより形成しても構わないし、括れとなる箇所の両隣に幅が広い部分を設けることにより括れを形成しても構わない。また、括れは先端部32bに形成する例について述べたが、基端部32aに形成しても構わない。術式に応じて、先端部32bの近傍にて縫着することが有利な場合は先端部32bに括れを形成すればよい。また、括れは湾曲の内側に設けるのが術式の容易化において好ましいが、湾曲の外側であっても構わないし、両側に設けても構わない。
また、断面視した際、硬支持部32の先端部32bの幅は0.1mm、軟支持部31の基端部(付け根)の幅は0.15mmとしている。
続いて、本実施形態に係る眼内レンズ1の製造方法について説明する。眼内レンズ1の製造方法は、主に3つの工程に分けて考えることができる。以下、工程の流れにしたがって説明する。
まず、図8(A)に示すように、公知の成形方法により、例えばPMMA(硬質材料)を用いて、円環形状の硬質材料部100を得る。硬質材料部100の中心には円孔110をあけておく。
次に、図8(C)に示すように、レンズ素材300の面形状を上記光学部2および支持部3の面形状に合わせて整える。具体的には、レンズ素材300の表裏面に精密旋盤装置を用いて面形成加工を施すことにより、光学部2の凸状の曲面と支持部3の根元部分の斜面とそれ以外の平坦面に合わせて、レンズ素材300の面形状を整える。これにより、眼内レンズ1の表裏面形状を反映した円板状の中間部材(レンズ素材の加工品)350が得られる。
次に、中間部材350の外形を上記光学部2および支持部3の外形に合わせて整える。具体的には、中間部材350にミーリング加工等の外形加工を施すことにより、眼内レンズ1として不要な部分を中間部材350から取り除く。その後、必要な箇所に研磨加工を施す。
次に、本実施形態に係る眼内レンズ1の使用方法について説明する。眼内レンズ1の使用の形態は、術式の種類に応じて存在する。従来から存在するイン ザ バッグ、アウト ザ バッグ、縫着固定の手法については公知の文献なり先に挙げた本発明者により開示された文献なりに記載を委ね、本実施形態においては強膜内固定を行う場合について述べる。ただ、基本的な強膜内固定の手法については特許文献1の[0004]や[0029]~[0034]に記載されているものと同様である。すなわち、強膜における強膜半層弁の下層の1箇所から強膜切開を形成し、視軸に関する周方向に強膜内トンネルを形成する。
その一方で、眼内レンズ1を、例えば角膜に形成された切開からインジェクタ等により眼内に挿入する。その際、一方の支持部3における先端部32bは角膜の切開から一部が外部に露出した状態にしておく。
本実施形態によれば、上記で列挙した効果に加え、以下の効果を奏する。
本発明の技術的範囲は上述した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の構成要件やその組み合わせによって得られる特定の効果を導き出せる範囲において、種々の変更や改良を加えた形態も含む。
本実施形態においては基端部32aおよび先端部32bを同じ硬質材料によって一体成形する場合について述べた。その一方で、先端部32bを別部材として形成し、後で先端部32bを基端部32aに接続するという構成を採用しても構わない。また、同様に、基端部32aについても、後で基端部32aを軟支持部31に接続しても構わない。あるいは、基端部32aおよび先端部32bを一体にした硬支持部32を後で軟支持部31に接続しても構わない。
また、本実施形態においては基端部32aを設けた例を挙げたが、軟支持部31に直接先端部32bを接続するという構成を採用しても構わない。
本実施形態においては先端部32bの反り形状を、本発明に対する好ましい変形例として挙げた。その一方で、上記の「反り形状」はそれ自体が独立した発明となり得る。一部再掲するが、イン ザ バッグの術式を採用する場合、水晶体嚢により眼内レンズ1が圧迫され、水晶体嚢の赤道近傍から先端部32bへと圧力が伝達されると、光学部2の配置が不安定になり、偏心傾斜が生じる場合もある(課題)。そこで、図6(b)に示すように、先端部32bにおいて反り形状を設ける(手段)。そうなると、反り形状の部分が水晶体嚢に沿うように変形し、眼内レンズ1が水晶体嚢に挿入されることにより水晶体嚢と支持部3との接触面積を増やすことができ、眼内レンズ1(光学部2)を安定して配置することが可能となり、ひいては偏心傾斜の発生をさらに効率よく抑制可能となる(効果)。このとき、例えば2つの支持部3の各々は一端のみで光学部2と接続している。
「レンズ機能を有する光学部と、
前記光学部から延伸しかつ一端のみで光学部と接続する支持部と、
を備え、
前記支持部における先端は、前記支持部の先端までの部分に比べ、前記光学部に向かうように反っている、眼内レンズ。」
