INTRAOCULAR LENS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61F2/16 

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has optical and supporting parts manufactured from materials of different rigidity. The optical part is removable and has at least three leaflets. Leaflet bases are connected to optical part periphery. The supporting part is ring-shaped and has two diametric projections manufactured as flat curvilinear figures in the same plane and as a whole with the supporting part. The optical part projections are manufactured from flexible magnetic polymer material having magnetic field of its own of 3-4 mTesla units and lower surfaces of the projections having magnetic poles of the same name. Internal ring-shaped notch is available on the upper side of the supporting part. Lining members are available on notch base for fixing optical part projections. The distance between the lining members is equal to distance between the optical part projections. The lining members are congruent projections manufactured from flexible magnetic polymer material having magnetic field of its own of 3-4 mTesla units. The upper surfaces of the lining members have magnetic poles of opposite polarity to those of the lower surfaces.

EFFECT: reduced risk of traumatic complications.
