    This study introduces a novel manually adjustable artificial pupil. This innovative ocular prosthesis allows patients to change pupil size for optimal vision in varying light conditions without removing the device.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Current artificial pupil prostheses often require patients to use separate devices for constricted and dilated pupil states.
    • Adjusting pupil size is crucial for optimizing visual acuity in different lighting environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a single, manually adjustable artificial pupil prosthesis.
    • To enhance patient convenience and hygiene by eliminating the need for multiple prostheses.

    Main Methods:

    • The artificial pupil features two distinct diameters: one constricted and one dilated.
    • A small external magnet is used to manipulate the prosthesis and select the desired pupil diameter.
    • The adjustment mechanism is integrated into the prosthesis, allowing in-situ modification.

    Main Results:

    • The adjustable pupil successfully provides both constricted and dilated states within a single prosthesis.
    • Patients can conveniently alter pupil size to match ambient light conditions using the magnetic control.
    • The design maintains patient privacy and hygiene by avoiding prosthesis removal for adjustment.

    Conclusions:

    • The manually adjustable artificial pupil offers a significant advancement over traditional, single-diameter prostheses.
    • This innovation improves patient quality of life by providing adaptable visual correction.
    • The prosthesis represents a more practical and hygienic solution for individuals requiring artificial pupils.
