The core comprises a core polymer matrix within which is dispersed a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The polymer matrix contains an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.

An eye drop dispenser includes a light absorbing element that emits light to facilitate properly aligning the eye drop dispenser with the eye while in the dark.

A flow control device for a compressible bottle may include a reservoir, the reservoir comprising an ophthalmic formulation disposed therein, the ophthalmic formulation comprising an ophthalmic agent and a preservative; a reservoir interface, disposed at a mouth of the reservoir, the reservoir interface comprising one or more apertures, the one or more apertures in the reservoir interface fluidically connecting an interior of the reservoir and an exterior of the reservoir; a nozzle, the nozzle comprising: an outlet and a nozzle cap, the nozzle cap comprising one or more apertures, the one or more apertures in the nozzle cap fluidically connecting the outlet and a reservoir-facing surface of the nozzle; and an axis of rotation, wherein rotation of the nozzle about the axis of rotation relative to the reservoir aligns the one or more apertures in the reservoir interface with the one or more apertures in the nozzle cap.

Certain embodiments provide an adjustable length infusion cannula having a cannula including a first proximal end and a first distal end, and a hub having a second proximal end, a second distal end, and a central aperture that extends between the second proximal end and the second distal end. The central aperture is configured to accept the first distal end of the cannula and allow the cannula upward movement and downward movement through the hub. The adjustable length infusion cannula also includes a locking mechanism configured to lock the cannula within the hub such that the first distal end extends a first distance past the second distal end of the hub.

A method of treating a subject with dry-form age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is disclosed. The method comprises administering into the subretina of the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising human RPE cells, wherein at least 95% of the cells thereof co-express premelanosome protein (PMEL17) and cellular retinaldehyde binding protein (CRALBP), and wherein the trans-epithelial electrical resistance of the cells is greater than 100 ohms to the subject, thereby treating the subject.

The invention relates to an arrangement and a software-based application for modifying an internal eye pressure in vivo, having modulating means for modifying the internal eye pressure and sensor means for capturing the internal eye pressure in vivo, and enabling easily operated and quickly reacting changes to the internal eye pressure while avoiding the disadvantages of the prior art, proposing that the modulating means are implemented for modifying the internal eye pressure as a function of the internal eye pressure captured by the sensor means.

According to some embodiments, a syringe may include a barrel; a delivery conduit; a plunger seal disposed within the barrel; and a plunger rod assembly affixed to an end of the barrel, the plunger rod assembly including a first plunger rod component comprising a first linear gear, a second plunger rod component disposed at least partially in the barrel and engaged with the plunger seal, wherein the second plunger rod component comprises a second linear gear, a first rotational gear having a plurality of gear teeth for engaging the first linear gear, and a second rotational gear having a second plurality of gear teeth for engaging the second linear gear, wherein the first rotational gear is coupled to the second rotational gear such that translation of the first plunger rod component causes translation of the second plunger rod component.
