ARTIFICIAL ANTERIOR CHAMBER LENS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device is designed as flexible biocompatible material monolith body. It has two rest members diametrically opposite to each other bent towards anterior surface of the optical member. The optical member surface has ring-shaped flanging in peripheral part. Frontal surface of each rest member has flat area located between the optical member and peripheral part of the rest member. The surface is in parallel relation to the main plane of the optical member. Optical member back surface is concave. Each rest member has convex peripheral surface. Frontal and back surfaces of the rest member are equal. Each rest member has at least two diametrically opposite holes in the peripheral part to enable fastening in the Schwalbe area. The lateral end surfaces of the rest members are concave. Ratio of the rest member thickness in the end zone to that in the zone adjacent to the optical member is equal to 1:3.The ratio of the maximum remote rest member points location diameter to the optical member diameter is equal to 7:3. EFFECT: excluded endothelial dystrophy occurrence. 2 dwg
