  • TREATMENT OF MYOPIA AND OTHER OCULAR CONDITIONS USING SINGLET OXYGEN GENERATED FROM DYES ACTIVATED BY NEAR-INFRARED LIGHT
    Publication number: 20230173071
    Abstract: This current disclosure is directed to compositions based on certain heptamethine dyes useful for generating singlet oxygen using NIR radiation, optionally comprising additives and solvents that enhance the performance of these dyes, and procedures using these compositions to modify treat myopia and other ocular conditions. In some cases, the methods use near-infrared irradiation to improve the mechanical strength of the sclera.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 16, 2022
    Publication date: June 8, 2023
    Inventors: John B. JARMAN, Dennis A. DOUGHERTY, Robert H. GRUBBS, Christopher B. MAROTTA, Daniel M. SCHWARTZ
  • Light adjustable intraocular lenses using upconverting core-shell nanoparticles and near infrared (NIR) light
    Patent number: 10765777
    Abstract: This disclosure relates compositions comprising upconverting core-shell nanocrystals and photoactive compositions and methods using these compositions to modify treat myopia and other ocular conditions. In some cases, the methods use near infrared irradiation to adjust the refractive power of light adjustable intraocular lenses.
    Type: Grant
