Patent number: 8066768Abstract: A multi-component intraocular lens implanted in an optical system of a human eye includes one or more removable components, each component being foldable. One component acts as a base lens, including a flange with an aperture. Another component acts as a mid lens, including a tab which engages the aperture. A third component acts as a top lens, which engages the mid lens. Because the lens components are foldable, they may be inserted into the eye using an incision smaller than the diameter of the unfolded lens. The removable components may be used to correct various medical conditions of the eye, as well as to improve and enhance vision, and for cosmetic purposes.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2007Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Werblin Research & Development Corp.Inventor: Theodore P. Werblin

Patent number: 8066769Abstract: The present invention discloses a multi-component intraocular lens implanted in an optical system of a human eye, including one or more foldable removable components, each component being foldable. One component acts as a base lens, including a flange with a slot. Another component acts is an optical assembly that may include a top lens joined to or integrated with a mid lens. The top lens, the mid lens or the optical assembly may include at least one projection that engages the slot of the base lens. The top and mid lenses are manufactured from a material having adhesive properties, wherein the top and mid lenses adhere to each other free of any material or substance being present therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2009Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Werblin Research & Development Corp.Inventor: Theodore P. Werblin

Publication number: 20110040378Abstract: A multi-component intraocular lens implanted in an optical system of a human eye, includes one or more removable components. One component acts as a base lens and another component acts as the front lens. A front lens formed from two integral optical portions may be milled with tabs to establish an axial orientation of the front lens. The front lens may have a different diameter than the base lens. The base lens may have sharp or angled edges and the front lens may have rounded edges. Non-optical portions of the intraocular lens system may be manufactured from a material that is capable of releasing a pharmacological agent. A flange may be fused with the base lens to allow the front lens to engage with the base lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2010Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: WERBLIN RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CORP.Inventor: Theodore P. WERBLIN
