  • Publication number: 20190091012
    Abstract: Some embodiments disclosed herein relate to devices and methods for controlling placement of intraocular implants within a patient's eye including but not limited to placement within or near the collector ducts of Schlemm's canal located behind the trabecular meshwork. In some embodiments, a handheld peristaltic rotor device having a compression element can be positioned on a corneal surface of the eye and rotated to create a peristaltic movement of blood in one or more episcleral veins to generate blood reflux within Schlemm's canal such that one or more collector ducts, or channels, of Schlemm's canal can be located. In some embodiments, an implant can be implanted near the identified location of the one or more collector ducts, or channels.

  • Publication number: 20180310821
    Abstract: Gonioscope devices are disclosed herein that are configured to enable a medical professional to view structure inside the eye that is ordinarily hidden from normal view. The gonioscope can be an integrally molded single piece that includes both a handle and a gonioscopic optical element. The proximal surface can have a viewing area and a light diffusing area. A recess can provide access to a wound site on the eye while the gonioscope is used for viewing. The handle can be configured to encourage proper alignment of the gonioscope with the eye. The gonioscope can provide an optical fixation point for the subject to focus on to facilitate proper alignment of the eye. The gonioscope can have one or more retention elements configured to engage the tissue of the eye around the contact surface to stabilize the gonioscope. The gonioscope can couple to a lid speculum.

  • Publication number: 20180070817
    Abstract: A gonioscopic attachment can attach to a gonioscope and can include atraumatic retention elements that are configured to engage an eye to retain the gonioscope relative to the eye. The gonioscopic attachment can be configured to position the gonioscope so that at least a portion of the concave distal surface of the gonioscopic optical element is spaced apart from the eye, and/or so that the curvature of the distal surface is angularly offset from the curvature of the eye. The gonioscope can include a fixation point configured to be visible to the subject when the gonioscope is positioned on the eye. In some embodiments, the retention elements can be incorporated directly into the gonioscope. A coupling mechanism can couple the gonioscope to a lid speculum. The gonioscope can include a light pipe, which can be configured to directly light into the eye.
