Abstract
An intraocular lens (IOL) device includes a lens configured to be positioned along the optical axis of a patient's eye and at least one haptic configured to engage an area within the patient's eye in order to position the lens along the optical axis. The IOL device further includes an expandable haptic-lens junction coupling the at least one haptic to the lens, the expandable haptic-lens junction configured to displace the lens relative to the haptic in response to an applied energy.
