  • Publication number: 20230119048
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless stimulation of biological tissue (e.g. nerves, muscle tissue, etc.) and, in one exemplary implementation, to therapy for glaucoma based on the wireless administration of energy to the eye of a mammalian subject (e.g. human, rodent, etc.) to reduce an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) involving the use of a multi-coil wireless power transfer assembly. The multi-coil wireless power transfer assembly may be used alone or in combination with a stimulation coil that can be implanted in the eye of a mammalian subject or within a contact lens worn by a mammalian subject.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11191961
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless glaucoma therapy involving the administration of energy to an eye of a mammalian subject in a therapeutically effective amount sufficient to (1) decrease the inflow of aqueous humor into the anterior segment of the eye and/or (2) increase the outflow of aqueous humor from the anterior segment of the eye. Systems and methods involve the use of wireless power transfer (WPT) and optional stimulus coils adapted to be positioned on and/or within the eye. A Frensel lens is also disclosed for vision correction, which may be used alone or in combination with the system for wireless glaucoma therapy.
