  • Patent number: 10674906
    Abstract: Gonioscope devices are disclosed herein that are configured to enable a medical professional to view structure inside the eye that is ordinarily hidden from normal view. The gonioscope can be an integrally molded single piece that includes both a handle and a gonioscopic optical element. The proximal surface can have a viewing area and a light diffusing area. A recess can provide access to a wound site on the eye while the gonioscope is used for viewing. The handle can be configured to encourage proper alignment of the gonioscope with the eye. The gonioscope can provide an optical fixation point for the subject to focus on to facilitate proper alignment of the eye. The gonioscope can have one or more retention elements configured to engage the tissue of the eye around the contact surface to stabilize the gonioscope. The gonioscope can couple to a lid speculum.

  • Patent number: 10517759
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to medical devices and methods for reducing the intraocular pressure in an animal eye and, more particularly, to stent type devices for permitting aqueous outflow from the eye's anterior chamber and associated methods thereof for the treatment of glaucoma. Some aspects provide a self-trephining glaucoma stent and methods thereof which advantageously allow for a “one-step” procedure in which the incision and placement of the stent are accomplished by a single device and operation. This desirably allows for a faster, safer, and less expensive surgical procedure.

  • Publication number: 20190268390
    Abstract: A method of performing remote subsea inspection includes processing mission data from a UUV at an offshore location to produce a low-resolution output and a high-resolution output, automatically and in real time. The high-resolution output is stored at the offshore location while the low-resolution output is transmitted wirelessly across a low-bandwidth communication also automatically and in real time, to be reviewed by subject-matter experts at one or more onshore or inshore locations. Selected portions of the high-resolution output can be transmitted across the communication link to the subject-matter experts on demand. Data outputs can be transmitted across the communication link at a resolution adjusted automatically in accordance with the bandwidth measured to be available on that link.

  • Publication number: 20190105077
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering multiple ocular implants to reduce intraocular pressure are disclosed. The ocular implants can be implanted at multiple sites within a single human eye without requiring removal of the delivery apparatus from the eye. A system for delivering multiple ocular implants can include a plurality of implants, an external housing, and an introducer assembly. The external housing can provide access to an implantsingulation actuator and an implant delivery actuator. The introducer assembly can comprise an auto-retracting introducer portion. The delivery apparatus can include an infinite activation mechanism/portion and/or a manual singulation mechanism/portion.
