Prosthetic capsular devices, systems, and methods
First Claim
1. A method of operating on an eye, the method comprising:
- inserting a prosthetic capsular device in the eye, the prosthetic capsular device including;
an anterior surface including an opening, anda posterior surface, at least a portion of the posterior surface comprising a refractive surface;
inserting an electronic device in the prosthetic capsular device; and
inserting an intraocular lens in the prosthetic capsular device, wherein after inserting the intraocular lens the electronic device does not interfere with sight lines through the intraocular lens, wherein the electronic device is configured to electronically control from within the prosthetic capsular device a property of the intraocular lens.

Abstract
Prosthetic capsular devices (e.g., bag, bowl, housing, structure, cage, frame) include technology devices such as a computer, virtual reality device, display device, WiFi/internet access device, image receiving device, biometric sensor device, game device, image viewers or senders, GPSs, e-mail devices, combinations thereof, and/or the like. The technology devices can be used in combination with an intraocular lens. The output from the technology device(s) can be fed to the retina of the user to provide a visual image, can be otherwise connected to the user, and/or can be used to control the properties of the intraocular lens or of the prosthetic capsular device. Wearable technology that provides biometric data, such as blood glucose levels, body temperature, electrolyte balance, heart rate, EKG, EEG, intraocular pressure, sensing ciliary muscle contraction for accommodation stimulus, dynamic pupil change and retinal prostheses, combinations thereof, and the like can assist in technology-assisted health care functions.
