  • Publication number: 20230371813
    Abstract: An endoscopic device for providing three-dimensional visualization of an intraocular object and having a first portion coupled to a second portion. The first portion includes a distal shaft having an outer diameter sized for positioning in an intraocular space, an illumination guide extending through the distal shaft, at least one image transmitter extending through the distal shaft, and at least one objective lens positioned within the distal shaft at a distal end of the at least one image transmitter. The second portion includes a housing, an illumination source positioned within the housing and in optical communication with a proximal end of the illumination guide, and at least one image sensor positioned within the housing and in optical communication with the proximal end of the at least one image transmitter. Related devices, systems, and methods are provided.

  • Patent number: 11622887
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for performing an ophthalmic procedure in an eye are disclosed. The devices include a hand-held portion and a distal, elongate member coupled to the hand-held portion having a lumen operatively coupled to a vacuum source. A drive mechanism operatively coupled to the elongate member is configured to oscillate the elongate member. When in use, the device is configured to aspirate ocular material from the eye through the lumen. The drive mechanism retracts the elongate member with a retraction speed profile and advances the elongate member with an extension speed profile. The retraction speed profile is different from the extension speed profile.

  • Publication number: 20220323254
    Abstract: An ablation device for the treatment of an eye to lower intraocular pressure including a handle; and an array of rods projecting from a distal end region of the handle and electrically-connected to an energy delivery generator. Each rod of the array of rods is configured to create a cavity in a surface of the eye via ab externo tissue ablation to enhance drainage of aqueous humor from the eye. Related devices, systems, and methods are provided.
