Publication number: 20180014928Abstract: A modular IOL system including intraocular primary and secondary components, which, when combined, form an intraocular optical correction device, wherein the secondary component is placed on the primary component within the perimeter of the capsulorhexis, thus avoiding the need to touch or otherwise manipulate the capsular bag. The secondary component may be manipulated, removed, and/or exchanged for a different secondary component for correction or modification of the optical result, on an intra-operative or post-operative basis, without the need to remove the primary component and without the need to manipulate the capsular bag. The primary component may have haptics extending therefrom for centration in the capsular bag, and the secondary component may exclude haptics, relying instead on attachment to the primary component for stability. Such attachment may include actuatable interlocking members.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2017Publication date: January 18, 2018Applicants: ClarVista Medical, Inc., The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Malik Y.

Publication number: 20170319332Abstract: Intraocular lenses (IOLs) that improve lens stability by, for example, increasing anterior-posterior stiffness of the IOL, increasing anterior-posterior dimensions of the IOL and/or increasing contact area with the equator of the bag to resist movement of the IOL as the bag collapses over time. These IOLs may be non-modular (single component) or modular (multiple component). In modular embodiments, the IOL system may include intraocular base and optic components, which, when combined, form a modular IOL.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2017Publication date: November 9, 2017Applicants: ClarVista Medical, Inc., The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Malik Y.

Patent number: 9125720Abstract: A capsularhexis device comprises a resistive-heating element formed from an electrically resistive, superelastic wire formed into a loop. A bare surface of this loop is applied to the anterior capsule and electrically heated to define a rhexis boundary, such that a smooth circular or oval capsule portion may be removed. In some embodiments, the superelastic wire is formed to include a loop, so that first and second ends of the wire are adjacent to one another and extend away from the loop to form a lead section. An electrically insulating material may completely or partly surround the first and second ends of the wire so that the first and second ends of the superelastic wire are electrically separated. A handle engages at least a portion of the lead section so that the loop-shaped heating element may be moved in and out of the anterior chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2008Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Alcon Research, Ltd.Inventors: Guangyao Jia, Glenn Sussman

Publication number: 20150230981Abstract: Modular IOL removal systems and methods that cut an optic portion of an intraocular in a single motion such to facilitate removal of the optic portion from an eye through an incision, for example a corneal incision, without increasing the size of the corneal incision. Various cutting tools having one or more blades may be utilized. The cut intraocular lens may have one continuous cut or be cut into multiple smaller pieces. The single cutting step may apply balanced forces and torque to avoid damaging the surrounding eye anatomy, reducing the risk of trauma.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2015Publication date: August 20, 2015Applicants: CLARVISTA MEDICAL, INC., THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, A BODY CORPORATEInventors: Malik Y.

Patent number: 8414546Abstract: A tip assembly for a liquefaction surgical handpiece. The tip assembly has an inner connector and an outer cap. The outer cap contains an external thread for attaching the tip assembly to a handpiece. The inner housing contains an alignment tab and fits within the outer cap so as to allow rotation of the inner connector within the outer cap. The inner and outer liquefaction tip tubes are frictionally fit into a bore in the inner connector. The proximal end of the inner housing contains a gasket that seal the inner housing against the handpiece.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2003Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Ziad R.

Patent number: 8291933Abstract: A hand piece for a surgical instrument is provided. The handpiece has an inlet, a chamber (with upstream and downstream portions), a flow control member, a pulse engine, and an outlet. The inlet communicates with the upstream portion of the chamber. The downstream portion of the chamber communicates with the engine. The engine communicates with the outlet. In a closed position of the member, flow from the inlet moves the member to the open position thereby allowing flow through the flow path. In the open position, pulses from the engine move the member to the closed position before pulses from the pulse engine can flow through the flow path, thereby preventing flow through the flow path.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2008Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: John M. Bourne, Guangyao Jia, Glenn Sussman
