Abstract:
Provided herein are devices used to reconstruct a natural lens capsule after a cataract surgery. The device flexibly adapts to the tension of the lens capsule as it is relaxed or contracted. This device comprises a ring-shaped rigid component. The rigid component comprises a distal end in contact with an anterior surface of the capsule and a proximal end disposed on a posterior surface of the capsule and disposed against a Wieger's ligament of the eye. A ring-shaped flexible component substantially concentric with the rigid component is flexibly fitted against an inner surface of the capsule. The ring-shaped flexible component comprises a proximal end formed on an outer surface of a proximal end of the rigid component, and a distal end extending away from the rigid component. A groove is disposed on an inner surface of the rigid component configured to receive haptics on an intraocular lens.
