Abstract

An intraocular lens wherein an outer edge of a support part has a curved concave shape at a base thereof and extends therefrom toward a tip thereof with a curved convex shape having a radius of curvature of 5.25 to 7.50 mm. In a region where a Y coordinate of an orthogonal coordinate system is 1.0 mm or greater, an origin of the coordinate system being a geometric center of an optical part, an inner edge of the support part is positioned between shapes obtained by offsetting the outer edge of the support part by 0.2 mm and by 1.0 mm towards the X-axis origin. The tip of the support part is positioned in a region where the Y coordinate is greater than a radius of the optical part, outside a circle with a radius of 5.0 mm centered on the origin.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An intraocular lens comprising:
an optical part formed of a bendably deformable soft material; and
a support part integrally provided to the optical part, the support part extending from the optical part toward an outer circumference side while inclining in a circumference direction, wherein
an outer circumference side edge part of the support part has a curved concave shape at a base part thereof, and has a curved convex shape with a radius of curvature of 5.25 to 7.50 mm at a portion further to a tip side thereof than the base part,
an inner circumference side edge part of the support part has a curved concave shape at a base part thereof, and with an orthogonal coordinate system for which a geometric center of the optical part is an origin point, a tangent line to the base part of the inner circumference side edge part is an X axis, and an orthogonal line to the X axis is a Y axis, in a region where a Y coordinate value is 1.0 mm or greater, the inner circumference side edge part of the support part is positioned between a shape such that the outer circumference side edge part of the support part is offset by 0.2 mm toward the origin point of the X axis and a shape such that the outer circumference side edge part is offset by 1.0 mm toward the origin point, and
with the orthogonal coordinate system, a tip part of the support part is positioned in a region where the Y coordinate value is greater than a radius value of the optical part and outside a circumference of 5.0 mm in radius having the origin point as a center.

2. The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness dimension of the support part is 0.15 mm to 0.60 mm.

3. The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein the inner circumference side edge part of the support part positioned in a region where the Y coordinate value is 1.0 mm or greater has a curved concave shape extending across a length of 70% or greater thereof from a base side of the support part toward the tip side.

4. The intraocular lens according to claim 3 , wherein the inner circumference side edge part of the support part has a curved concave shape extending entirely from the base part of the support part to a position where the Y axis coordinate value is 1.0 mm.

5. The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein the inner circumference side edge part of the support part has a curved concave shape with a roughly fixed radius of curvature set within a range of 0.3 to 0.7 mm at the base part of the support part extending across both sides sandwiching a contact point with the X axis.

6. The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein a width dimension in an X axis direction of the support part at a position where the Y coordinate value is the radius value of the optical part is larger than a width dimension in the X axis direction of the support part at a position where the Y coordinate value is 1.0 mm.

7. The intraocular lens according to claim 1 , wherein the support part is positioned within a circumference of 7.5 mm in radius having the origin point of the orthogonal coordinate system as the center.
