APPLICATOR FOR HANDLING A DRY OCULAR HEALTH PRODUCT AND PRIMARY PACKAGE CONTAINING SUCH PRODUCT
An applicator for gripping and removing a dry ocular health product from a storage container and for placing the removed dry ocular health product on the eye of a patient, the applicator comprising:
a handling portion for handling the applicator; and
a tip portion connected to the handling portion, wherein at least a tip portion of the applicator is made from an electrostatically chargeable material to make the dry ocular health product adhere to the tip portion due to electrostatic forces exerted by the tip portion of the applicator on the dry ocular health product, and for subsequently releasing the dry ocular health product from the tip portion on the eye of the patient by means of attraction forces caused by a tear film in the eye of the patient.
EYE DROP DISPENSER
A dispenser assembly includes a dispenser bottle having a nipple for dispensing a solution (e.g., eye drop solution, eye wash solution, eye lid cleaner and/or wash solution), and a cap removably couplable to the dispenser bottle over the nipple. An eye cup is fixedly coupled to the dispenser bottle around the nipple. The eye cup can be supported on or rest on the periphery of the eye socket to facilitate delivery of the solution onto or over a user's eye.
EYE DROP DISPENSER
A dispenser assembly includes a dispenser bottle having a nipple for dispensing a solution (e.g., eye drop solution, eye wash solution, eye lid cleaner and/or wash solution), and a cap removably couplable to the dispenser bottle over the nipple. The dispenser bottle has a chamber that removably receives a single-use vial cartridge. An eye cup is fixedly coupled to the dispenser bottle around the nipple, or the eye cup is detachable and invertible relative to the dispenser bottle. The eye cup can be supported on or rest on the periphery of the eye socket to facilitate delivery of the solution onto or over a user's eye.
Systems and methods for administering fluid compositions
A device for administering fluid compositions includes a housing having a first end with an opening. The housing includes a compartment, proximate to the first end, that is capable of holding a liquid reservoir that is at least partially filled with a fluid. The device includes an air pump positioned within the housing, at a second end. The device includes an actuator positioned between the compartment and the air pump. The actuator includes an extendible piston that is configured to extend laterally toward the compartment. During device operation, the actuator causes the piston to extend towards the liquid reservoir and exert a force on the liquid reservoir. The force causes the fluid to be expelled from the liquid reservoir at the first end. The air pump is configured to atomize the fluid at the first end as it is expelled from the liquid reservoir.
Ocular platforms and surgical tools
A platform for introducing various treatment tools through a conduit in order to treat various ocular pathologies by attaching it to a human eyeball. The platform has an axis that defines opposing anterior and posterior axial directions. The platform includes a framework formed about the axis and the framework has anterior and posterior openings at respective anterior and posterior sides. The platform includes also a hollow conduit that extends through the framework while passing through the anterior and posterior openings.
Ocular implant and delivery system
An ocular implant including a drug releasing element and having an inlet portion and a Schlemm's canal portion distal to the inlet portion, the inlet portion being disposed at a proximal end of the implant and sized and configured to be placed within an anterior chamber of a human eye, the Schlemm's canal portion being arranged and configured to be disposed within Schlemm's canal of the eye when the inlet portion is disposed in the anterior chamber.
Real-Time Instrument Position Estimation and Guidance for Ophthalmic Surgery
Real-time instrument position estimation and guidance for ophthalmic surgery are described. An ophthalmic surgical system may include a first camera to obtain a first image feed of an ophthalmic surgical procedure and a second camera to obtain a second image feed of the ophthalmic surgical procedure. The ophthalmic surgical system may further include a real-time instrument position estimation module implemented in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and configured to determine, in real-time, a relative position of an instrument feature with respect to an anatomical feature of an eye based on the first image feed and the second image feed during the ophthalmic surgical procedure. The real-time instrument position estimation module may be further configured to output, in real-time, a surgical guidance based on the relative position of the instrument feature with respect to the anatomical feature of the eye during the ophthalmic surgical procedure.
EYEDROP ASSIST DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE
An eyedrop assist device is configured for use with an eyedrop bottle in an environment defining a horizontal. To that end, the eyedrop assist device has a body with a proximal end and a distal end. Importantly, the body has a receiving region to receive the eyedrop bottle and forming a longitudinal axis. The eyedrop assist device also has an angle calibrator configured to produce first indicium identifying when the longitudinal axis of the receiving region forms a first angle, and a tilt sensor. Preferably, the tilt sensor is configured to produce second indicium when the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal axis of the receiving region is tilted to form a second angle relative to the horizontal. Since they are for different purposes, the first and second angles are different angles.
System and Method for Applying Eye Drops
Embodiments of the present invention may comprise a system and method for applying eye drops. An eye mask may have a first eye cover and a second eye cover that are configured over a user's eyes. Each eye cover may have an eye drop bottle receiver that allows an eye drop bottle to be removably connected to the eye covers. The eye drop bottle may contain an eye drop fluid. When the eye drop bottle is squeezed, some of the eye drop fluid may be forced from the eye drop bottle through an eye drop bottle receiver and into a user's eye, thereby efficiently applying eye drops to the user's eye without having to aim the eye drop bottle.
Eye drop dispenser
A dispenser assembly includes a dispenser bottle having a nipple for dispensing a solution (e.g., eye drop solution, eye wash solution, eye lid cleaner and/or wash solution), and a cap removably couplable to the dispenser bottle over the nipple. An eye cup is fixedly coupled to the dispenser bottle around the nipple. The eye cup can be supported on or rest on the periphery of the eye socket to facilitate delivery of the solution onto or over a user's eye.
