Patent number: 11921361Abstract: The present disclosure relates to trial scleral lenses, and the resulting scleral lenses, designed for the asymmetric shape of the sclera and/or its chiral properties. In some embodiments, the scleral lenses are also designed for the specific asymmetry associated with different scleral diameters. In addition, as discussed herein, the scleral shape can vary with different conditions of the eye. By designing a set of trial scleral lenses that takes into account these different asymmetric properties of the sclera, a clinician can be more efficient, fitting more eyes with fewer subsequent modifications. The resulting lenses will also achieve a better fit.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Boston Foundation for SightInventors: Karen G. Carrasquillo, Chirag Patel, Crystal Remington, Alan Kwok, Deborah S. Jacobs

Patent number: 11487136Abstract: Methods and systems for manufacturing a wavefront-guided scleral lens prosthetic device customized for an eye of a patient include obtaining a first scleral lens prosthetic device with a central optic zone configured to vault over the eye's cornea and a peripheral haptic zone configured to align with the eye's sclera, collecting measurements of any offset and/or rotation of the first scleral lens prosthetic device relative to the eye's pupil and of any aberrations, particularly higher-order aberrations, generating a wavefront-guided profile from the measurements, and fabricating a second scleral lens prosthetic device with the profile on a surface of a central optic zone configured to vault over the eye's cornea and a peripheral haptic zone customized to align with the eye's sclera.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignees: Boston Foundation for Sight, University of RochesterInventors: Lynette Johns, Geunyoung Yoon, Olga Tomashevskaya, Deborah S.

Publication number: 20080286338Abstract: A scleral lens is provided with a drug that is retained in the reservoir of fluid between the scleral lens and the cornea. This system can be used to deliver drugs not currently used because of poor bioavailability, to increase bioavailability of drugs used in patients already wearing a scleral lens, and to improve bioavailability in patients who are not currently wearing the lens. Dosing can be provided less frequently, thus decreasing the risk of non-compliance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2007Publication date: November 20, 2008Applicant: Boston Foundation for SightInventors: Perry Rosenthal, Deborah S. Jacobs
