Patent number: 9033941Abstract: The present application discloses a new and novel system and apparatus for improving the accuracy with which a person may apply eye drops to their own eye. The apparatus holds a bottle of eye drops at a fixed and certain distance above the eye, beside the nose, and below the forehead brow such that the user may easily apply eye drops consistently to one particular portion of their own eye. The apparatus sits on the nasion of the nose using a nasal bridge device and also rests on two pillars that are placed on the user's forehead. Used in such a manner, the apparatus facilitates one-handed eye drop application, facilitates both non-visual alignment and oblique alignment, and reduces reflective blinking.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Anakin LLCInventors: Jeffrey Rehkemper, David T. Tse, Steven Rehkemper, Brad D. Simons, Jay Tapper

Patent number: 8097033Abstract: A prosthetic device and method to restore extraocular muscle function. The device includes a housing; a biasing component disposed in the housing; a proximal connector operatively connected to a proximal end of the biasing component; and a distal connector operatively connected to a distal end of the biasing component, wherein the proximal connector is configured for being secured with respect to an orbital bone and the distal connector adapted to be secured to the paralyzed or absent muscle stump, e.g. on the globe, or to the eyelid.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2006Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: The University of MiamiInventor: David T.

Patent number: 6582465Abstract: An integrated rigid fixation orbital expander has a coupling tunnel, an injection port, and a substantially spherically shaped expansion chamber. The coupling tunnel is configured with opposing side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall. The top wall of the coupling tunnel may have a depression denoting a mid-point of the coupling tunnel and serves as an entry point to introduce a needle for injection. The depression lines up with a hole on the vertical arm of a plate. The plate may glide within the coupling tunnel to align the depression with a desired hole in the plate. The injection port has a floor and a dome and a plurality of channels. The floor of the injection port may have a backstop plate to block a needle from further penetration. The dome of the injection port is connected to the bottom wall of the coupling tunnel.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2001Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: University of MiamiInventor: David T. Tse
