Artificial lenses, also known as intraocular lenses (IOLs), are medical implants that are used to replace the natural lens in the eye, especially after cataract surgery. These small, transparent lenses are surgically inserted into the eye to improve vision by correcting the refraction of light in the eye. They can be of various shapes and materials, including monofocal lenses, which are optimized for a single distance, and multifocal or toric lenses, which can provide improved vision at different distances or for astigmatism.
Project description:
Design of illustrations for 5 different models (monofocal, trifocal, toric, trifocal-toric) of artificial lenses for the human eye. In addition to the differentiation by correction, the lenses also differ in their design/type and their surgical positioning in the eye.
Capsular bag lenses are inserted into the eye’s natural capsular bag, which is left intact during surgery. These lenses provide stability and positioning as they are located inside the capsular bag.
Posterior chamber lenses are a type of intraocular lens that are placed in the back of the eye during cataract surgery. These lenses are typically placed in the so-called sulcus, a space behind the iris and in front of the natural lens bag (capsular bag).
The lenses were modeled as 3D models based on 2D drawings. Illustrations were created for each lens from 5 different perspectives and also a version with yellow coloration of the IOL (protection against blue light).
