HAPTIC OPTIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM UTILIZING ROTARY ARMS
Systems, methods, and devices for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) assembly into an eye may be provided. An example optic management system may include a housing having a first end and a second end and a first side extending between the first end and the second end. The housing may include a cavity formed in the first side of the housing and configured to accommodate an intraocular lens, wherein the cavity comprises a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion. The housing may further include a bore formed in the housing, wherein a first portion of the bore extends from the first end to the cavity. The haptic optic management system may further include a ceiling disposed on the first side of the housing. The haptic optic management system may further include arms pivotably coupled to the housing in the cavity.
METHOD OF IMPLANTING AN INTRAOCULAR OPTIC ASSEMBLY
A method of implanting an intraocular optic assembly that has at least a first and second optics interconnected to one another with a plurality of stanchions can include rotating the first optic and the second optic relative to one another and thereby drawing the stanchions at least one of between the first optic and the second optic and around one of the first optic and the second optic. The method can also include folding, after the rotating, the intraocular optic assembly while retaining the stanchions in the at least one of between the first optic and the second optic and around one of the first optic and the second optic. The method can also include inserting, after the folding, the intraocular optic assembly in an eye through an incision in a cornea of the eye.
Article of manufacture including occlusion ring having inner/outer regions with orthogonal polarizations
An optical article of manufacture and a method of making the article of manufacture are disclosed. The article of manufacture includes an optical component including a junction between a first region having a first optical power and a second region having a second optical power. The first optical power is different from the second optical power. The article further includes an occlusion ring included in the optical component and aligned with the junction. The method includes forming a thin film polymer layer on a substrate. The method further includes forming an occlusion ring on the thin film polymer layer. The occlusion ring has an inner occlusion ring region and an outer occlusion ring region. The method further includes forming an outer wire grid polarizer on the outer occlusion ring region.
Device and method for displaying the axis of astigmatism of an eye
The invention relates to a device and a method for displaying the axis of astigmatism of an eye, in which an observation unit is used to observe the eye and, using a display unit, the orientation of the axis of astigmatism of the eye is displayed. A sensor unit generates sensor data which indicate a modification to the alignment of the observation unit relative to the eye. A calculation unit updates the displayed orientation of the axis of astigmatism with the aid of the sensor data, and issues it as the current orientation of the display unit.
Method for creating incision to improve intraocular lens placement
A system and method for inserting an intraocular lens in a patient's eye includes a light source for generating a light beam, a scanner for deflecting the light beam to form an enclosed treatment pattern that includes a registration feature, and a delivery system for delivering the enclosed treatment pattern to target tissue in the patient's eye to form an enclosed incision therein having the registration feature. An intraocular lens is placed within the enclosed incision, wherein the intraocular lens has a registration feature that engages with the registration feature of the enclosed incision. Alternately, the scanner can make a separate registration incision for a post that is connected to the intraocular lens via a strut member.
ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE INCLUDING AN OCCLUSION RING AND RELATED METHODS
An optical article of manufacture and a method of making the article of manufacture are disclosed. The article of manufacture includes an optical component including a junction between a first region having a first optical power and a second region having a second optical power. The first optical power is different from the second optical power. The article further includes an occlusion ring included in the optical component and aligned with the junction. The method includes forming a thin film polymer layer on a substrate. The method further includes forming an occlusion ring on the thin film polymer layer. The occlusion ring has an inner occlusion ring region and an outer occlusion ring region. The method further includes forming an outer wire grid polarizer on the outer occlusion ring region.
Prosthetic capsular devices, systems, and methods
The present invention relates to a prosthetic capsular bag and method for inserting the same. The prosthetic capsular bag helps to maintain the volume of the natural capsular bag, thereby stabilizing the effective lens position of an IOL so that refractive outcomes may be improved with cataract surgery. The prosthetic capsular bag further provides an integrated refractive surface, providing a means for experimentally determining an effective lens position prior to inserting an IOL.
Haptic optic management system utilizing a squid clip
Systems, methods, and devices for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) assembly into an eye may be provided. In an exemplary aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a haptic optic management system. The haptic optic management system may include a housing. The haptic optic management system may further include a plate, wherein the plate is disposed within the housing. The haptic optic management system may further include a clip that engages the plate in the housing, wherein the clip comprises a clip body and a plurality of legs that extend from the clip body.

INTROCULAR LENS
A method of performing laser surgery in a patient's eye includes generating a light beam, deflecting the light beam using a scanner to form an enclosed treatment pattern that is configured to form an enclosed capsulorhexis incision that includes a registration feature, and delivering the enclosed treatment pattern to target tissue in the patient's eye to form in an anterior lens capsule of the patient's eye the enclosed capsulorhexis incision that includes the registration feature. The registration feature is configured so that an edge of the target tissue formed by the enclosed capsulorhexis incision mates with an intraocular lens registration feature on an intraocular lens so as to rotationally register the intraocular lens relative to the registration feature.
