  • Patent number: 4842601
    Abstract: A deformable intraocular lens includes first and second plastic lens members connected to each other adjacent their peripheral edges so as to provide a cavity therebetween. The connection is realized by means of a U-shaped flange on the first member forming an inwardly facing groove that receives therein an outwardly extending flange on the second member. The U-shaped flange has a pair of angularly spaced entrance slots through which the flange on the second member is inserted. A biasing arrangement is disclosed for urging the lens members into an expanded relation. The amount of biasing force is correlated with the capability of the natural lens capsule of a human eye so that the intraocular lens can be substituted for the cataractous natural lens. Thereafter, the muscular action exerted on the natural capsule will cause my intraocular lens to flatten and thereby change the focusing thereof. Either or both of the lens members may vary in thickness to provide an additional amount of refractive correction.

  • Patent number: 4824066
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a lower ring member having a frusto-conical upper surface over which the sclera of the cornea to be transplanted is placed. An upper ring member is also included. Both ring members have registrable openings of a size such that only an annular portion of the sclera outwardly of the cornea is clamped when wing nuts are tightened on a number of threaded studs pivotally attached to the lower ring member. In this way enough clamping pressure can be exerted on the sclera to prevent flow of fluid therethrough into the corneal stroma.
