Intraocular lens and method of manufacturing the same
There is provided an intraocular lens including an optic portion having a circular shape from one side thereof and including a first pattern which includes a ridge and a groove, and a plurality of haptic portions extending from an outer circumferential edge of the optic portion and each including a second pattern which includes a ridge and a groove, in which at least one of the ridges included in the first pattern and the second pattern and at least one of the grooves included in the first pattern and the second pattern includes a section in which a width is formed differently.
MASK FOR INCREASING DEPTH OF FOCUS
A mask configured to be implanted in a cornea of a patient to increase the depth of focus of the patient includes an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and a plurality of holes. The anterior surface is configured to reside adjacent a first corneal layer. The posterior surface is configured to reside adjacent a second corneal layer. The plurality of holes extends at least partially between the anterior surface and the posterior surface. The holes of the plurality of holes are configured to substantially eliminate visible diffraction patterns.
MULTI-COMPONENT CONTACT LENS HAVING POSTERIOR AND ANTERIOR FEATURES
An ophthalmic device includes a rigid insert and an enclosure enveloping the rigid insert. The enclosure includes a cornea contact formed on a concave side of the enclosure. The cornea contact has a ring-shape that protrudes from the concave side of the enclosure and is disposed under at least a portion of the rigid insert. The ring-shape of the cornea contact includes a plurality of discontinuous sections. The plurality of channels are disposed on the concave side of the enclosure and each extend through a corresponding one of the discontinuous sections of the cornea contact.
Position-sensing contact lenses
The subject matter of the disclosure relates generally to a MEMS-based position-sensing system and lenses, for example, contact lenses and intra-ocular lenses, manufactured with the position-sensing system employing one or more angular and/or linear accelerometers and/or pressure transducers and methods for detecting position and motion of an eyeball and/or head utilizing the position-sensing contact lenses.
Open, seal-less intraocular lens
An open, seal-less intraocular lens is disclosed herein. An example intraocular lens may include an annular substrate including an oil electrode disposed in or on an inner sidewall of the annular substrate to electrostatically manipulate a volume of electrowetting oil, an optical window coupled to the substrate, where a side of the optical window adjacent to the inner sidewall and the inner sidewall of the annular substrate define a region for constraining the volume of electrowetting oil, and a saline electrode coupled to the annular substrate, the saline electrode positionable within an aqueous humor of an eye upon implantation
INTRAOCULAR IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN INTRAOCULAR IMPLANT
An intraocular implant, such as a corneal implant, an intraocular lens or an IOL carrier matrix, which has a dimensionally stable lattice structure and a corresponding method for producing an intraocular implant. The intraocular implant and method for producing an intraocular implant counteract metabolic problems, and thus also limited functional compatibility, and facilitates long-term tolerance. The intraocular implant has a dimensionally stable lattice structure designed in such a way that it permits permeability for small molecules and/or supports the mobility of endogenous cells in the implant.
Prosthetic capsular devices, systems, and methods
A prosthetic capsular device configured to be inserted in an eye after removal of a lens, in some embodiments, can comprise a housing structure comprising capable of containing an intraocular device and an equiconvex refractive surface. The housing structure can comprise an anterior portion comprising an anterior opening, a posterior portion comprising a posterior opening, and a continuous lateral portion between the anterior portion and the posterior portion.
Multi-component contact lens having posterior and anterior features
An ophthalmic device having posterior and anterior features are disclosed herein. An example ophthalmic device may include an enclosure having an insert disposed therein. The enclosure may include a cornea contact disposed on a posterior side and arranged to rest on a user's cornea outside of a central cornea area when the ophthalmic device is worn by a user. The enclosure further includes a channel formed in the posterior side, where the channel extends through the cornea contact from at least radially outside of the insert to an inner edge of the cornea contact.
ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENS
An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises first and second components coupled together to define an inner fluid chamber and an outer fluid reservoir. The inner region of the AIOL provides optical power with one or more of the shaped fluid within the inner fluid chamber or the shape of the first or second components. The fluid reservoir comprises a bellows region with one or more folds of the bellows extending circumferentially around an optical axis of the eye. The bellows engages the lens capsule, and a compliant fold region between the inner and outer bellows portions allows the profile of the AIOL to deflect when the eye accommodates for near vision. Fluid transfers between the inner fluid chamber and the outer fluid reservoir to provide optical power changes when the eye accommodates.
Mask for increasing depth of focus
A mask configured to be implanted in a cornea of a patient to increase the depth of focus of the patient includes an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and a plurality of holes. The anterior surface is configured to reside adjacent a first corneal layer. The posterior surface is configured to reside adjacent a second corneal layer. The plurality of holes extends at least partially between the anterior surface and the posterior surface. The holes of the plurality of holes are configured to substantially eliminate visible diffraction patterns.
