  • 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

  • Non-aspirating transitional viscoelastics for use in surgery
    Publication number: 20050281862
    Abstract: Non-aspirating viscoelastics, compositions, and methods of use are disclosed. The non-aspirating, transitional viscoelastics possess sufficient viscosity to be useful in ophthalmic viscosurgery, but may be left in the eye with little or no resulting IOP spike. The compositions are particularly useful in cataract surgery.

  • Intraocular lens system
    Publication number: 20050273163
    Abstract: A two part lens system. The first part is a ring-like supporting component that is implanted in the capsular bag following cataract surgery. The first component is a non-optical component and contains a pair of haptics for fixating the first component within the capsular bag. The second component is an optical component that contains all of the corrective optical power of the lens system. The second component has a pair of tabs for locking the second component within the first component.
