    摘要: An exchangeable optics system includes magnetic fixation points that are anchored to the outside of the eye. The fixation points can include magnetic barbed tacks, magnetic soft tissue screws, or a sclera buckle with permanent magnets. Fiducials on the fixation points help with visibility during implantation of an exchangeable intraocular lens (IOL) or other devices. The exchangeable optic can be suspended within the eye by way of tethers having ends of magnetic metal or permanent magnetic material that magnetically couple with the magnetic fixation points. The lengths of the suspension tethers can be adjusted in small increments with other magnets in order to place the lens into position with a proper three-dimensional orientation within the eye.
