ABSTRACT:
An intraocular implant including a lens and a shell component. The shell component includes a shell peripheral wall encompassing a shell inner volume for protectively enclosing the lens and allowing the latter to move therein between lens accommodating positions. The lens is pivotable within the shell inner volume between a lens first position wherein the lens is in a substantially proximal relationship relative to a shell wall first segment and a lens second position wherein the lens is in a substantially proximal relationship relative to a shell wall second segment. In one embodiment of the invention, the lens peripheral edge defines a lens edge pivot portion and the shell segment joining edge defines a corresponding shell edge pivot portion, the lens and shell edge pivot portion being complementarily configured and sized so that when the lens abuttingly rests against the peripheral wall inner surface, the lens and shell edge pivot portions interact with each other for allowing the lens to pivot between the lens first and second positions.In another embodiment of the invention, the lens is pivotally suspended within the shell component for pivotal movement between the lens first and second position. In both embodiments, the lens may also pivot to a lens intermediate position in a spaced relationship relative to both the the shell wall first and second segments.
