  • Patent number: 10351675
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to injectable compositions and methods of making injectable compositions of moisture curing siloxane polymers for forming accommodating intraocular lenses. In certain embodiments, the moisture curing siloxane polymers are comprised of an organosilicon compound and a hydrolytically sensitive siloxane moiety and have a specific gravity of greater than about 0.95, a number average molecular weight (Mn) greater than about 5,000 or about 20,000 and a weight average molecular weight (Mw) greater than about 20,000 or about 40,000. The disclosure includes accommodating intraocular lenses formed from moisture curing siloxane polymers and having a modulus of elasticity of less than about 6 kPa, less than 20% post-cure extractables, refractive index ranging from 1.4 to 1.5 and dioptric range of accommodation of 0D to 10D.

  • Patent number: 10251781
    Abstract: A method for refilling a lens of an eye or increasing the elasticity of a lens of an eye includes removing a central portion of the lens core through the eye's cornea, a capsulorhexis in the eye's lens capsule and a gullet extending at least partially through the cortex of the lens. The lens is then refilled with a synthetic lens material. Sufficient lens core is left in place so that the synthetic material is not in contact with a lens capsule of the eye. The synthetic material used for refilling may be selected and may be formed in a shape and thickness so as to affect the refractive characteristics of the lens. An endocapsular lenticule may be inserted in the lens to affect the refractive characteristics of the lens.

  • Patent number: 10219690
    Abstract: An ophthalmic refractor is described that provides a non-linear relationship between spherical power and refractive error by positioning a reference plane for a sensor system of the refractor in front of the cornea. The refractor may have a working distance and dynamic range that enable it to be mounted on a surgical microscope. Also described are computational methods for analysing the output from the ophthalmic refractor, utilising error minimisation, linear regression and Fourier Transform analysis.

  • Patent number: 10213101
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses for an intraocular imaging system are disclosed comprising an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. The OCT system has an imaging range that may enable substantial portions of an eye or even a whole eye to be imaged. The OCT system may be coupled to an operation microscope, such that, for example, a surgeon can visualize ocular structures like the human crystalline lens and other ocular structures such as the cornea and/or vitreous while surgical instruments are in the field of view.
