Publication number: 20210205135Abstract: A method for using a laser to create a pocket in a patient's cornea is provided. The pocket is created using a femtosecond or a nanosecond laser. The laser ablates tissue within the cornea in a specific shape. The shape of the pocket can be determined by software to custom program a three-dimensional path of the laser. A variety of corneal pocket configurations or computer programmed shapes can be used to accommodate various corneal lens shapes and sizes. An intracorneal lens can then be inserted into the pocket, in order to correct the patient's vision.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2020Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventor: Vladimir Feingold

Patent number: 9186245Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides an apparatus and method for injecting a lens into a flap or pocket in the cornea. This lens or pocket preferably is created by a laser used in conventional lasik surgery. The apparatus includes a syringe or handle, a plunger extending movably through the lumen of the syringe, and a paddle. The paddle extends from the distal end of the syringe and is configured to hold the lens to be injected into the eye. The paddle also defines a fluid flow path in fluid communication with the lumen of the syringe and configured to allow saline to flow onto the paddle to lift the lens from the paddle, such that the lens can be inserted into the eye.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Inventors: Vladimir Feingold, Ioannis Pallikaris

Publication number: 20140372139Abstract: A method and system are described for patient data and ordering of intraocular lens implants. One embodiment is implemented by receiving refraction data about an eye of a patient into which an intracorneal lens is to be implanted. This refraction data is received after being input through a first tab of a user interface that is displayed by a server or a client computer. The server or client computer then computes and displays a recommended specification for the intracorneal lens based on the refraction data. The server then receives an order for a lens based on the recommended specification. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Vanessa Tasso, Vladimir Feingold
