Abstract :
In this paper the design restrictions of an inductive sensor for an intraocular lens with focus control on the basis of a marker implanted in the ciliary muscle of the eye are discussed in the framework of anatomical and physiological influences and constraints: limitations on the marker size, influences of tissue conduction and effects of off-axis implantation of the marker with respect to the coil.
