An eye drop guide includes a frame including at least one eye-covering member, and a plurality of apertures arranged in columns, each column having multiple apertures, the apertures in each column being vertically offset from apertures in adjacent columns.

DEVICE AND METHODS FOR DIRECTING AGENTS INTO AN EYE

A method, system, and device for magnetically pushing agents into an eye. The agents are magnetic or magnetizable or magnetically responsive

Ocular implants and methods for delivering ocular implants into the eye

An ocular implant is provided. In some embodiments, the ocular implant includes a body that is curved about a longitudinal central axis and a distal body portion that defines a longitudinal channel including a channel opening. The implant is sized and configured such that the ocular implant assumes an orientation in which the channel opening is adjacent a major side of Schlemm's canal when the ocular implant is disposed in Schlemm's canal. Methods for delivering ocular implants into Schlemm's canal are also provided. Some methods include covering openings in the ocular implant, advancing the implant into Schlemm's canal while at least some of the openings are covered, and uncovering the openings while the distal portion of the implant is disposed in Schlemm's canal.

IMPLANTABLE CONTINUOUS-FLOW PUMPS

In various embodiments, a drug pump includes a housing and, within the housing, an expandable drug reservoir at least part of which is exposed to a pressurized propellant. The propellant exerts a substantially constant pressure on the drug reservoir. A flow restrictor significantly limits outflow from the pump, and preferably has both a small diameter and a long path length, which acts to control the outflow from the drug reservoir. As a result, the pump produces a substantially constant outflow.

Intrascleral drug delivery device and associated methods

The present invention provides methods and devices for delivering an active agent into the eye of a subject. In one aspect, for example, the present invention provides an ocular drug delivery device including a housing configured to couple to the eye of the subject and a corneal seal coupled to the housing and positioned in the housing to encircle the cornea during use to form a corneal region, where the housing extends outward from the corneal seal to form a scleral region, and where the scleral region being positioned over the eye's sclera during use. The device further includes an active agent reservoir coupled to the housing and positioned to release active agent into the scleral region and a pressure regulator coupled to the housing that is operable to introduce negative pressure between the housing and the eye. Thus the corneal seal is operable to fluidically isolate the corneal region from the scleral region in response to the negative pressure.

Nasolacrimal drainage system implants for drug therapy

An implant for insertion through a punctum and into a canalicular lumen of a patient. The implant includes a matrix of material, a therapeutic agent dispersed in the matrix of material, a sheath disposed over a portion of the matrix of material and configured to inhibit the therapeutic agent from being released from the matrix of material into the canalicular lumen and to allow the therapeutic agent to be released from a surface of the matrix of material to a tear film, and a retention structure configured to retain the implant within the canalicular lumen.

Eye opening device

For allowing an access to an eye during a rinsing process it is suggested to configure an eye opening device in such a way that the eye opening device comprises two wing-like spreading elements for pulling the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid of the eye apart so as to support the opening of the eye during a rinsing process, wherein two access gaps are formed laterally between the two wing-like spreading elements of the eye opening device.

Methods and systems for diagnosing eye conditions such as red reflex using light reflected from the eyes

Configurations are disclosed for a health system to be used in various healthcare applications, e.g., for patient diagnostics, monitoring, and/or therapy. The health system may comprise a light generation module to transmit light or an image to a user, one or more sensors to detect a physiological parameter of the user's body, including their eyes, and processing circuitry to analyze an input received in response to the presented images to determine one or more health conditions or defects.
