  • Photochemically induced engagement of intraocular implants
    Patent number: 11291537
    Abstract: An ocular implant and a method for implanting such an ocular implant inside an eye includes an optical portion and at least two polymer haptics for fixation of the ocular implant to tissue inside an eye. At least one portion of the haptics contains a photoinitiating agent delivery component. A kit for implanting an ocular implant in an eye includes an ocular implant at least two polymer haptics; and additionally a photoinitiating agent for at least partially impregnating a first portion of the ocular element or a second portion of tissue in the eye; and, a light source for providing light of a wavelength adapted to excite the photoinitiating agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 5, 2022
    Assignees: CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTÍFICAS, THE GENERAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION
