  • Low-water content acrylate-acrylamide copolymers for ophthalmic devices
    Patent number: 9921341
    Abstract: Acrylate-acrylamide copolymers are disclosed. They are rigid and glassy in dry state at room temperature (from about 23° C. to about 28° C.), but are soft and very deformable and have a high refractive index, a high glistening resistance and a low aging-related surface light scattering in fully hydrated state. They are particularly suitable for making wet-packed intraocular lenses (IOLs) which can be delivered through sub 2.0 mm incisions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 14, 2015
    Date of Patent: March 20, 2018
    Assignee: Novartis AG
    Inventors: Walter Laredo, Ali E. Akinay, Xuwei Jiang, David Jinkerson, Vincent Nguyen, Douglas Schlueter

  • Hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens materials
    Patent number: 8466209
    Abstract: Disclosed are low-tack, hydrophobic, high refractive index, acrylic materials. These materials, especially useful as intraocular lens materials, contain one or more aryl acrylic hydrophobic monomers as principal device-forming monomers, a tack-reducing macromer additive and a glistening-reducing additive. In addition to their use as intraocular lens materials, the present materials are also suitable for use in other implantable ophthalmic devices.
