Abstract

See full text

An ophthalmic device for implantation into a capsular bag of an eye includes an adhesive or adherent that adheres to an eye at certain temperatures or other physical conditions, but has little or no adherence at other temperatures. The ophthalmic device may be an accommodating intraocular lens including an adjustable optic body and a support structure. The support structure includes an outer structure, an intermediate structure, and an adhesive or adherent material disposed over at least a portion of the support structure. The intermediate structure is located between, and connected to, the outer structure and the optic body. The outer structure has an outer face configured for engaging a capsular bag of an eye. The outer face includes an equatorial region, with anterior and posterior regions disposed on opposite sides of the equatorial region. Under a predetermined condition, the posterior region has an adhesion that is greater than an adhesion of the anterior region.
