Scleral Fixation Intraocular Lens for Cataract Surgery

An intraocular lens (or IOL) is a tiny, artificial lens for the eye. It replaces the eye's natural lens that is removed during cataract surgery.

The lens bends (refracts) light rays that enter the eye, helping you to see. Your lens should be clear. But if you have a cataract, your lens has become cloudy. Things look blurry, hazy or less colorful with a cataract. Cataract surgery removes this cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear IOL to improve your vision.

IOLs come in different focusing powers, just like prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. Your ophthalmologist will measure the length of your eye and the curve of your cornea. These measurements are used to set your IOLs focusing power.

Scleral Fixation Intraocuolar Lens for Cataract Surgery Technical Parameters

Options for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the absence of capsular support include anterior chamber IOLs, iris-fixated IOLs, and scleral-fixated IOLs. Choice of IOL and implantation technique depends greatly on patient age, comorbid ocular conditions, the patient’s ocular anatomy, and surgeon comfort level with a specific technique. Scleral fixation is an alternate way of fixing the IOL in the posterior chamber. It is indicated in case of Weak Zonules, Posterior capsular tear and improper capsular bag support.

Scleral Fixation Intraocular Lens for Cataract Surgery Design features:

1- The IOL produced by our company is made of PMMA, allowing the good flexibility of the loops,which can be bent to the optical part of the IOL, making the IOL implanted easily inside the capsular bag.

2- The 10°angle of the haptic allows the lens to have a complete contact with the posterior side of the lens capsule.

3- The thin edge of the IOL reduces the edge glare in a large degree.

4- The haptic are designed to maintain stability of lens implant in the eye, which keeps the IOL centered in the optical field.

5- The IOL produced by our company can filter the ultraviolet rays effectively, and the rate of the visible light is greater than 90%.
