Abstract
The invention concerns a device for treating presbyopia or other ocular disorders related to any eye accommodation defect. The device ( ) includes a piece ( ) shaped as a ring portion with an axis of revolution and first ( ) and second ( ) edges offset along radial directions and along the direction of said axis of revolution. The first edge ( ) is disposed to rest, over at least part of its length, on part of the eye internal wall and the second part ( ) is capable of being pressed against a median zone ( ) of zonules of the crystalline lens ( ). In this way a displacement of the median zone of said zonules is obtained. This displacement enables them to cause the deformation of the crystalline lens ( ) under the effects of stimulation applied to the zonules.
