A corneal device comprising a base surface and a top surface, and having a water content ranging from about 78%-92% (w/w), inclusive. The corneal device can be used to treat, for example without limitation, ectatic corneal disease by supporting corneal structure weakened by the disease and/or changing an anterior curvature of the cornea.

Compositions and methods are provided for lamellar and defect reconstruction of corneal stromal tissue using supramolecular complexes that form a defined gel structure in situ. Such gels can serve as cellular or acellular matrices with or without certain encapsulated therapeutic factors to facilitate tissue regeneration such as multilayered re-epithelialization of wounded corneal stromal tissue.

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.

A conformable covering comprises an outer portion with rigidity to resist movement on the cornea and an inner portion to contact the cornea and provide an environment for epithelial regeneration. The inner portion of the covering can be configured in many ways so as to conform at least partially to an ablated stromal surface so as to correct vision. The conformable inner portion may have at least some rigidity so as to smooth the epithelium such that the epithelium regenerates rapidly and is guided with the covering so as to form a smooth layer for vision. The inner portion may comprise an amount of rigidity within a range from about 1×10−4 Pa*m3 to about 5×10−4 Pa*m3 so as to deflect and conform at least partially to the ablated cornea and smooth an inner portion of the ablation with an amount of pressure when deflected.

The present invention discloses bioengineered corneal grafts for treating either or both Keratoconus and visual impairment, selected from (i) a corneal Onlay comprises or coated by at least one member of Group A, consisting of biocompatible synthetic materials; at least one member of Group B, consisting of at least one type of biological polymer and optionally, at least one member of Group C, consisting of at least one type of protein and (ii) An intrastromal corneal lenticule graft, configured to mimic native corneal stroma tissue by means of its optical properties, mechanical properties, permeability and interaction with corneal stromal cells; wherein at least one portion of said lenticule comprises or coated by at least one member of Group D, consisting of transparent crosslinked hydrogel; at least one member of Group E, consisting of collagen; collagen methacrylate, recombinant mammal collagen, mammal-sourced collagen; and optionally, at least one member of Group F, consisting of Keratocytes and/or stem cells and any combination thereof. The present invention further discloses compositions, methods for production, implementation and treatment of medical indications by aforesaid corneal graft.

An ophthalmic lens system for reducing the risk of progression of a myopic eye by selectively maintaining, inducing or creating asymmetry of the peripheral retinal profile for the eye. A method for reducing the risk of progression of myopia comprising determining the magnitude of asymmetry of the on-axis/off-axis refractive error profile or eye length profile of the eye and providing an ophthalmic lens system that corrects for and provides acceptable on-axis vision and simultaneously controls the position of the off-axis refractive error profile or eye length profile such that resultant profile of the eye is asymmetric.

Systems and methods involving an intraocular implant with input and/or output electronics are described. In some embodiments, the system includes an intraocular lens having at least one optic operably coupled to a haptic, one or more input electronics on the haptic and/or the optic; and one or more output electronics on the haptic and/or the optic for receiving and/or transmitting data.

Antibacterial coatings and methods of making the antibacterial coatings are described herein. A first branched polyethylenimine (BPEI) layer is formed and a first glyoxal layer is formed on a surface of the BPEI layer. The first BPEI layer and the first glyoxal layer are cured to form a crosslinked BPEI coating. The first BPEI layer can be modified with superhydrophobic moieties, superhydrophilic moieties, or negatively charged moieties to increase the antifouling characteristics of the coating. The first BPEI layer can be modified with contact-killing bactericidal moieties to increase the bactericidal characteristics of the coating.
