Disclosed is an interocular fluid shunting assembly including a contact or interface plate and one or more fluid drainage tubes. According to embodiments there may be provided two tubes draining fluid to different locations. According to embodiments, a biodegradable polymer may be used to hinder fluid flow through at least one tube at initial insertion.

Method of prevention of capsular opacification and fibrosis after cataract extraction and/or prevention of fibrosis around a shunt or stent after glaucoma surgery
10195081 · 2019-02-05 ·

A method of preventing capsular opacification and fibrosis after cataract extraction and and/or preventing fibrosis around a shunt or stent after glaucoma surgery is disclosed herein. In the cataract procedure, after the cortex and nucleus of the natural lens with the cataract has been removed, a photosensitizer is applied inside the lens capsule, a posterior portion of the lens capsule is irradiated so as to activate cross-linkers and prevent capsular opacification and fibrosis, and an intraocular lens is inserted into the lens capsule. In the glaucoma procedure, a fluid drainage opening is formed and/or a stent is inserted into the eye, a photosensitizer is applied inside an anterior chamber of the eye so that a diffused stream of the photosensitizer travels through the fluid drainage opening or the stent, and the tissue surrounding the fluid drainage opening or the stent is irradiated so as to activate cross-linkers and prevent fibrosis.

Prosthetic capsular devices (e.g., bag, bowl, housing, structure, cage, frame) include technology devices such as a computer, virtual reality device, display device, WiFi/internet access device, image receiving device, biometric sensor device, game device, image viewers or senders, GPSs, e-mail devices, combinations thereof, and/or the like. The technology devices can be used in combination with an intraocular lens. The output from the technology device(s) can be fed to the retina of the user to provide a visual image, can be otherwise connected to the user, and/or can be used to control the properties of the intraocular lens or of the prosthetic capsular device. Wearable technology that provides biometric data, such as blood glucose levels, body temperature, electrolyte balance, heart rate, EKG, EEG, intraocular pressure, sensing ciliary muscle contraction for accommodation stimulus, dynamic pupil change and retinal prostheses, combinations thereof, and the like can assist in technology-assisted health care functions.

MODULAR INTRAOCULAR LENS DESIGNS, TOOLS AND METHODS

Modular IOL systems including a base and a lens, wherein the lens includes tabs for connection to the base. The modular IOL allows for the lens to be adjusted or exchanged while leaving the base in place, either intra-operatively or post-operatively.

INJECTOR, INTRAOCULAR LENS SYSTEM, AND RELATED METHODS

An intraocular lens system may include a base that may include an annular body, an opening extending through the annular body in an axial direction of the annular body, and a recess extending circumferentially about the opening. The system also may include a lens that may be insertable into and removable from the recess. The lens may include a central optic, a first tab protruding radially away from the central optic, and a second tab protruding radially away from the central optic. The second tab may be more resistant to compression in a radial direction than the first tab. The first tab may include a first arm protruding radially away from the central optic, a second arm protruding radially away from the central optic and extending away from the first arm, and a third arm extending from the first arm to the second arm. Movement of one or more of the first, second, and third arms may result in deformation of the first tab.

Two-part accomodating intraocular lens device

A two-part accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) device for implantation in a capsular bag of a patient's eye. The IOL device includes a primary lens assembly and a power changing lens. The primary lens assembly includes a fixed lens and a peripherally disposed centration member. The centration member has a circumferential distal edge and a first coupling surface adjacent the circumferential distal edge. The power changing lens has an enclosed, fluid- or gel-filled lens cavity and haptic system disposed peripherally of the lens cavity. The haptic system has a peripheral engaging edge configured to contact the capsular bag and a second coupling surface. The first and second coupling surfaces are in sliding contact with one another to permit movement of the power changing lens relative to the primary lens assembly and also to maintain a spaced relationship between the fixed lens and the lens cavity during radial compression of the power changing lens.
