Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for reshaping the cornea. The device includes a body having a first surface adapted to be positioned adjacent the surface of the cornea and configured to have selected portions thereof heated, such that the cornea of the eye is heated to a temperature below a temperature at which cell death occurs and a means for heating the body.
Abstract: An intraocular lens system for implantation in the eye to modify the lens system of the eye comprising the cornea and the natural or existing artificial lens in the eye, and a method for using the same. The system and method comprises a lens having a high minus portion, adapted to be implanted in the eye to create a lens system that functions as a teledioptic lens system which, when used without an external lens, provides unmagnified and peripherally unrestricted vision and which, when used with an external lens, provides magnified and peripherally restricted vision to correct for macular degeneration. The lens can be attached to the iris, to a portion of the iris that was removed by iridectomy, or can be implanted in the cornea. The lens can also include a plus portion that is surrounded by the high minus portion.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an intraocular lens. The intraocular lens includes a lens having an opening therein and an ocular system capable of being inserted into the opening after implantation into an eye. Wherein the first lens is adapted to project a first image onto the retina and the second lens is adapted to project a second image onto the retina.
