Sapphire IOL (Elenza)

 

The Sapphire IOL (Elenza) is electronically controlled, remotely programmable, customisable and utilises nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and advanced electronics to auto-adjust focus in response to pupillary changes. Speed and amplitude of pupillary responses are used to differentiate between light and accommodation. The power-cell requires recharging every three-to-four days, has hibernation mode and a fail-safe mechanism that converts it to monofocal status till recharged.

First announced in 2011, Many Prominent Ophthalmic Surgeons in the directory Board of Elenza, One of the two probable  current “electronic IOL” .

 

Vista Lens (Vista Ocular)

 

Vista Ocular (Ohio, US), is developing an innovative technology to bypass pupillary and ciliary muscle movement, and target the muscle’s action potential as the accommodative signal. The technology is patented and more patents are pending. The company is currently in the process of testing an in-vivo sensor system for the detection of the ciliary muscle’s action potential. This design also incorporates rechargeable battery power with a flexible lens system to change optical power in a variable fashion (Figure 3). Along with Elenza are the 2 US based start-ups that aim to develop a electronic IOL
