PROSTHETIC CAPSULAR SUPPORT
Restoring the Eye's Natural Lens Support
Long Bridge Medical is developing the LensOne™ platform, a prosthetic capsular bag designed to provide stable, centered positioning of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in eyes without adequate capsular support and are poor candidates for an Anterior Chamber IOL (ACIOL)
The Problem
Solving One of Ophthalmic Surgery's Most Persistent Challenges
Reliable fixation of an IOL in eyes without adequate capsular support and are poor candidates for an ACIOL remains a significant clinical challenge.
Further, the rate of IOL dislocation is increasing with time, to the point that IOL dislocation is considered an “epidemic” and “ticking time bomb” by surgeons.
When the capsular bag is compromised in a patient who is not a good candidate for an ACIOL, surgeons are forced to rely on off-label fixation techniques as there is no FDA approved solution for scleral fixation of an IOL. Current practice of lens exchange with pars plana vitrectomy in the US yields:
- 15.3% IOL Dislocation
- 14.1% Mechanical IOL Complication
- 12.3% Retinal Detachment
- 9.0% Glaucoma
- 8.6% Cystoid Macular Edema
Long Bridge Medical was founded to address this unmet need, developing a standardized, physiologic solution to restore capsular support and improve outcomes for patients and surgeons alike.

OUR TECHNOLOGY
The LensOne™ Platform
Recreating the Natural Capsular Environment
CAUTION - INVESTIGATIONAL DEVICE. The LensOne™ is limited by United States Law to investigational use
LensOne™ Device — Anterior Segment OCT
Cross-sectional view showing the prosthetic capsular bag and intraocular lens.
Designed for Centration
LensOne™ incorporates a three-point fixation design intended to reduce lens tilt and decentration, which may impact visual performance.
Physiologic Lens Environment
LensOne™ is designed to replicate key structural aspects of the native capsular bag, providing support for intraocular lens placement in a position intended to approximate that of the natural lens.
Standardized Surgical Approach
LensOne™ is designed to provide a standardized approach for intraocular lens fixation in eyes lacking adequate capsular support.
