Device for a manipulation with a contact lens within an eye area and methods for the production thereof. The invention concerns a device for a manipulation with a contact lens within an eye area and methods for the production thereof, the subject matter of which lies in that it comprises a functional part (1) from porous polymer, mainly hydrophilic polymer, which is shaped for a non-aggressive contact with the cleaned area of the eye and adapted by its porousness for absorption of non-toxic and non-irritant fluid, as well as methods for producing said device.

A contact lens is placed on a patient's eye during ophthalmic surgery, such as vitreoretinal surgery. The contact lens rests on a cornea of an eye of a patient during the surgery and is supported by a contact lens mounting speculum having multiple degrees of freedom to accommodate small movements of the eye while enabling alignment to an optical axis of the surgical microscope. The contact lens mounting speculum may be used with different patients, speculum blades, contact lenses (direct and indirect), and lens mounting positions.

Certain embodiments are directed to a contact lens application/removal device comprising a plurality of removably interconnection components. The components include a lens handling tip, a lubrication fluid container, two detachable storage chambers, and, optionally, a detachable ultraviolet disinfection system. The device can be used for contact lens removal, lubrication, storage, and application to the eye without the need for direct contact with the fingers or skin of a subject applying and the lenses.

A contact lens tool kit for placement of a contact lens on an eye is provided. The tool kit may include a contact lens tool. The contact lens tool may include an outer edge for selectively engaging a contact lens. The tool kit may also include a lens housing for containing a contact lens, the lens housing selectively engageable with the tool. Engagement of the tool and the lens housing permits reception of the contact lens by the contact lens tool and disengagement of the two permits removal of the contact lens by the tool. The lens housing may include a removable seal for draining solution through an aperture of the contact lens tool or lens housing.

An eye drop applicator includes a main body with a lower portion and an upper portion having a cavity configured to retain a predetermined amount of medication. The lower portion may include an opening configured to snuggly receive a user's finger and/or a top of a medication bottle. The eye drop applicator may also include a removable cap configured to attach to the upper portion of the main body to cover the cavity.

A tool may include a forceps tip including: a tip body having a proximal longitudinal end, a distal longitudinal end, and a contact surface therebetween, wherein the contact surface includes: a first convex lobe proximate the proximal longitudinal end and a second convex lobe adjacent to the first convex lobe in a distal longitudinal direction.

An intraocular lens injection system, a controller to control an intraocular lens injection device, a method for controlling an intraocular lens injection instrument, and a program therefor for preferably injecting an intraocular lens are provided. A push-out member including a drive part to push out a soft intraocular lens by the drive part, an observation member to obtain an observed image of the intraocular lens pushed out by the push-out member, and a determination member to determine a drive parameter of the drive part based on the observed image are provided. The intraocular lens includes an optical part and a support part to support the optical part in a patient's eye, and the determination member determines the drive parameter according to at least a shape of the support part.

A contact lens applicator is described which automatically applies a contact lens to a user's, or a patients, eye. Embodiments described include a contact lens applicator which includes: a main tool base for housing control system elements; a robotic arm mounted on the tool base; an end effector mounted on an end of the robotic arm for grasping a contact lens for delivery to an eye of the user.

A contact lens application aid including a lens holder dock having an elongated supporting member having a base end and a coupling end. The coupling end is structured and dimensioned to receive a lens holder. The lens holder dock includes a transparent material or a translucent material and is configured to illuminate the coupling end. A supporting base is configured to rest on a flat surface and receive, at a central portion of the supporting base, the base end of the lens holder dock via a friction fit. The supporting base extends outwardly from the central region such that a diameter of the supporting base is greater than a diameter of the lens holder dock.

A Bernoulli gripper for ophthalmic lenses includes a gripper body with a first cavity corresponding in shape to an optic zone of an ophthalmic lens and a first channel formed within the gripper body. The first channel penetrates the first cavity at one end and includes a first port in the gripper body at another end of the first channel. The first channel is enabled to supply a fluid medium from the first port to the first cavity at a first velocity such that the ophthalmic lens positioned with the optic zone in proximity to the first cavity is subject to a first pressure force against the first cavity by the Bernoulli effect.
