11679031 · 2023-06-20 · ·

a laser-based ophthalmological treatment system(200) may include a device housing(202), a head fixation assembly(206), and an interactive display device(324, 424). The head fixation assembly(206) may be configured to position and to retain a head of a patient relative to the device housing(202). The interactive display device(324,424) may be positioned in an optical path(304,404). The interactive display device(324,424) may be fixed relative to the head fixation assembly(206). The interactive display device(324,424) may be configured to display a simulation scene(504) that may include a target image(502) into a visual field of the patient. The target image(502) may be displayed in the simulation scene(504) such that optical focus on the target image(502) by the patient aligns a portion of a fundus(130) of an eye of the patient in the optical path(304,404).

Free jet dosage system for the eye

A free jet dosage system serves for administering a fluid into an eye. The free jet dosage system includes a micropump having an inlet and an outlet, the micropump being configured to transfer the fluid from the inlet to the outlet and to dispense the fluid at the outlet to the eye as a free jet. The free jet dosage system further includes a sensor configured to sense the eye and to controller a control, and a micropump, wherein the controller is configured to activate the micropump as soon as the eye is sensed by the sensor.

DOCKING SYSTEM TO STABILIZE EYEBALL DURING INTRAOCULAR SURGERY

A docking system for intraocular surgery that is configured to simultaneously: (1) physically stabilize a position and an orientation of an eye during intraocular surgical procedures; (2) preserve an unobstructed path for optical instruments; (3) provide access to the eye that allows for tool movement; (4) maintain eyeball hydration and improve the scan quality of an imaging system, such as an OCT system or a surgical microscope and may maintain or control an intraocular pressure of the eye to a stable, desired level during surgical procedures.

Apparatus for opening and holding eyelids open
10842477 · 2020-11-24 ·

An eye treatment apparatus for opening and holding eyelids of a patient open is described. The apparatus includes a supporting platform having a Y-type shape and including an upper beam configured for extending between a nose bridge and a forehead of the patient and for positioning on the forehead, a left leg and a right leg coupled to the upper beam, and configured for straddling a nose bridge of the patient and for positioning on patient's left and right cheeks, and a cross-arm mounted on the upper beam of the supporting platform. The apparatus also includes an opening assembly mounted on the cross-arm and configured for pulling an upper eyelid up for exposing an eye and retaining the eye of the patient in the open position. The also includes an adjustable annular band for placement around a head of the patient to secure the apparatus thereon.
