A surgical device and procedure are provided for smoothly and easily accessing tissue to perform microsurgery, including a capsulotomy of a lens capsule of an eye. The device includes a handpiece with a tip for insertion into an incision in the cornea of the eye. A sliding element is disposed within the handpiece and a suction cup is mounted to the sliding element. The sliding element can be translated to move the suction cup into and out of the handpiece. A compression mechanism associated with the suction cup and the handpiece compresses the suction cup for deployment through the tip of the handpiece. The suction cup can expand inside the anterior chamber into a cutting position on the lens capsule. A cutting element mounted to the suction cup is used to cut a portion of the lens capsule and to remove the portion from the eye. The cutting element may be mounted to a cutting element support structure in a way that prevents heating of the device.

An ocular implant system including an ocular implant sized and shaped to be inserted at least partially into an eye; a carrier member with a shell having a central channel extending at least partially through the shell from a proximal end towards a distal end of the shell. A guide sleeve removably attached within at least a first region of the central channel of the shell and defining a proximal port into the central channel that is accessible from the proximal end of the shell. An implant holder removably attached within at least a second region of the central channel of the shell adjacent to a distal end of the guide sleeve and having a pair of graspers adapted to releasably secure the implant at a distal end of the implant holder. Related devices, systems, and/or methods are described.

The present invention provides a wirelessly driven contact lens including a strain sensor capable of detecting an increase in intraocular pressure in real time and a drug reservoir capable of lowering the intraocular pressure by releasing a drug based on the increase in intraocular pressure. In the present invention, there may be provided a personal therapy system that measures intraocular pressure in real time and properly releases a therapeutic drug according to the intraocular pressure that is measured through the strain sensor and the drug reservoir for releasing a drug based on an intraocular pressure state of a glaucoma patient.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for producing a lens surface through electrowetting. The lens surface may be used in an ophthalmic lens such as an intraocular lens, contact lens, or eyeglass lens. A fluid chamber may include a conductive fluid and a curable fluid positioned therein. An electrode maybe used to vary a shape of a surface of the curable fluid through electrowetting. The surface of the curable fluid may be cured to produce a lens surface.

A combined intraocular pressure (IOP) measuring and eye medication dispensing device may include a first micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) sensor to generate IOP measurements of a living organism's eye; a medication dispensing device to dispense medication into the living organism's eye; a second MEMS micro-dispenser to interface with the medication dispensing device and to control the dispensing of the medication into the living organism's eye; and an analog-to-digital (A-to-D) converter to receive control signals. The A-to-D converter may communicate the control signals to the first MEMS sensor or the second MEMS micro-dispenser; receive the generated IOP measurements from the first MEMS sensor; receive medication dispensing parameters from the second MEMS micro-dispenser or medication dispensing device, and communicate the generated IOP measurements or the medication dispensing parameters. The device may also include a communications interface to receive the control signals from one or more processors in an external control module.

This disclosure relates to a cap assembly for a medicament delivery device that has a cap body arranged to be connected to a medicament delivery device for protecting and for removing a medicament delivery member shield. The cap body has an inner cap structure defining a channel extending along the central axis of the cap body, and a gripping member configured to be received in the channel with a friction fit and to receive a medicament delivery member shield. The gripping member has a first leg, a second leg, and a transverse portion extending between the first leg and the second leg, which transverse portion defines the leading edge of the gripping member when received by the channel.

An eye drop applicator includes an applicator body with a top cavity, a bottom cavity, and a dispensing channel connecting the bottom cavity with the top cavity such that a fluid can selectively flow through the dispensing channel to the top cavity. The top cavity includes an opening at a top end of the applicator body, and the bottom cavity includes a bottom opening at a bottom end of the applicator body. The bottom cavity may receive a portion of an applicator container within the bottom cavity to assemble the eye drop applicator with the applicator container containing the fluid to be dispensed.

A visor system for a protective sport helmet wearable on a head of a user is provided. The visor system comprises a visor for protecting at least part of a face of the user. The visor is transparent and comprises left and right connectors. The visor system also comprises left and right visor supports for supporting the visor on left and right sides of the protective sport helmet. The left and right connectors of the visor are toollessly connectable to and toollessly disconnectable from the left and right visor supports to allow the user to toollessly connect the visor to the left and right visor supports and toollessly disconnect the visor from the left and right visor supports. The visor system may be configured to define an open gap from a top edge of the visor to the outer shell.

An opto-mechanical system for operation with a container containing a fluid to be administered in an eye or a container such as a syringe for example to administer an insulin injection. The mount of the system is equipped with an optical system and a processing/recording means configured to receive optical data, from light (visual or infra-red) reflected by an area in the vicinity of the eye, which data represents temporal and spatial characteristics of a process of administering drops of the fluid from the container into the eye. Image analysis software or human observation may be used to analyze the recorded images.
