Abstract

An apparatus for supplying energy to and / or communicating with an eye implant by means of illumination radiation is provided, wherein the apparatus (1) comprises a positioning unit (3), which sets anillumination position of the eye of a user, an optical input interface, by means of which the illumination radiation (10) is suppliable to the apparatus (1), and an illumination optical unit (7), wherein the illumination optical unit (7) focuses the supplied illumination radiation (10) in such a way that a focus (16) with a lateral extent of at least 0.1 mm in air is present and such that, when the eye of the user is in the set illumination position, the illumination radiation (10) enters into the eye (14) as a convergent beam such that the focus (16) lies within the eye (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for supplying energy to and / or communicating with an ocular implant by irradiating radiation. Background technique [0002] The development of biocompatible electronics or biocompatible packaged electronics and general advances in biomimicry have resulted in many new sensors and actuators that are often implanted in the body for medical reasons. Thanks to the progressive miniaturization of electronic components, it is even now possible to perform surgical implants in the human eye. [0003] Depending on the field of application, implants are introduced in the area of ​​the cornea (e.g. electronic contact lenses), in the anterior chamber or near the lens or iris (e.g. intraocular lenses, mechanical iris, anterior chamber sensors), in the vitreous Introducing implants in and on the retina (such as retinal implants to restore vision). [0004] For the operation of such electronic components, a constant energy supply is ...
