Abstract: An artificial lens including a lens system having eccentric axes for in an eye having a macula and an enlarged natural pupil is shown. The artificial lens comprises a first optical lens system and a second optical lens system. The principal axis of each optical lens system is eccentric to each other and the distance between each principal axis is selected to enable the first optical lens system and the second optical lens system to be operable within the enlarged pupil. The lens system of the artificial lens system directs light rays from each image of each lens of the first optical lens system and second optical lens system onto a fovea centralis of the macula of an eye. In the preferred embodiment, a prism having a preselected diopter power is positioned on a selected surface of one of the first optical lens system and second optical lens system for directing light rays from an object onto a fovea centralis of the macula of an eye. A contact lens having an eccentric optical system is also shown.

Abstract: An anatomical apparatus for supporting a head of a person by a person's mible is shown. The anatomical apparatus includes a support defining a cavity having a lower tier of a selected width and an open upper wider tier communicating with the lower tier. A ledge or mandible engaging support surface is defined between the upper tier and lower tier and terminates in an exterior opening. The support is adapted to be positioned between a base of a head and shoulder of a person with the exterior opening positioned adjacent the shoulder when a person is in a supine position. The support urges the ledge or mandible engaging support surface into engagement with the mandible to support the head of person in a suspend position and to concurrently transport the mandible anterior of a person's body to maintain an open airway. A method for using the anatomical apparatus for suspending the head of a person is also shown.
