Abstract: An ophthalmic lens may comprise a posterior optic surface, an anterior optic surface, and an optic edge between the posterior optic surface and the anterior optic surface, wherein the optic edge forms a substantially circular perimeter having a thickness that varies periodically. The thickness of the optic edge may vary periodically for at least two cycles. Additionally, or alternatively, the ophthalmic lens may comprise an optic skirt coupled to the optic edge. The optic skirt can be configured to inhibit transmission of light around the optic edge.

Abstract: UV absorbing compounds that are effective in blocking UV and short-wavelength blue light are disclosed. The UV absorbing compounds are particularly suitable for use in intraocular lens materials.

Abstract: Dihydroxybenzotriazole UV absorbing compounds that are particularly useful in ophthalmic devices are disclosed.

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.

Abstract: Coated medical implants have an implant body configured for securing in or adjacent to body tissue of a patient. The implant body has an implant surface and a coating is formed on at least a portion of the implant surface. The coating includes a coating outer surface of a first chemical component that is chemically bonded to a carboxylate functionality of a second chemical component. The second chemical component is immobilized by amide linkage to an underlying third chemical component that is plasma coated directly onto implant body surfaces. The coating either inhibits or prevents the adhesion of protein and/or cellular proliferation or may be a non-fouling coating.

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.
