Patent number: 11921361Abstract: The present disclosure relates to trial scleral lenses, and the resulting scleral lenses, designed for the asymmetric shape of the sclera and/or its chiral properties. In some embodiments, the scleral lenses are also designed for the specific asymmetry associated with different scleral diameters. In addition, as discussed herein, the scleral shape can vary with different conditions of the eye. By designing a set of trial scleral lenses that takes into account these different asymmetric properties of the sclera, a clinician can be more efficient, fitting more eyes with fewer subsequent modifications. The resulting lenses will also achieve a better fit.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Boston Foundation for SightInventors: Karen G. Carrasquillo, Chirag Patel, Crystal Remington, Alan Kwok, Deborah S. Jacobs

Publication number: 20070068816Abstract: A separation medium comprising a hydrogel preparation having macropores and micropores, wherein the hydrogel preparation is prepared by reacting a first gel component and a second gel component in an aqueous solvent. The first gel component comprises a first monomer, oligomer, polymer, or combination thereof having at least one polymerizable double bond, and a first crosslinker having at least two polymerizable double bonds. The second gel component comprises a second monomer, oligomer, polymer, or combination thereof having at least one pendant functional group per repeat unit, and a second crosslinker having at least two functional groups, each capable of reacting with the at least one pendant functional group of the second monomer, oligomer, polymer, or combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2005Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventors: David Solomon, Greg Qiao, Alan Kwok
