  • HAPTICS FOR ACCOMMODATIVE INTRAOCULAR LENS SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100211171
    Abstract: An open chamber, accommodative, intraocular lens system operable to be positioned within the interior of an evacuated capsular bag of a human eye. The present invention provides new haptic cross-sections, novel complex lens structures by introduction of the concept of a lens ledge, fixation of haptics to lenses at a lens ledge, structural solutions to provide customized fitted correction, and accordion structural solutions to ease the insertion of complex lenses into the capsular bag of the eye.

  • Method for making an intraocular lens
    Patent number: 7754113
    Abstract: The invention is a mold and method for using the mold to make a multi-stage intraocular lens. The mold is provided with a gate in fluid communication with a lens portion and/or haptic portion of the mold core. In addition, a gasket is provided around the mold core. As molding material is introduced into the mold via the gate, a vacuum is drawn around and through the gasket to evacuate air trapped in the mold core and to help pull the material through the mold core.

  • Sarfarazi elliptical accommodative intraocular lens for small incision surgery
    Publication number: 20040015236
    Abstract: An elliptical accommodative intraocular lens assembly is provided for placement in the evacuated capsular bag of the posterior chamber of an eye after a small incision capsulorhexis, such that as the capsular bag is pulled and released by ciliary muscles, the lenses approach and withdraw from each other to provide focal accommodation.

  • Accommodative lens formed from sheet material
    Patent number: 6423094
    Abstract: Accommodative intraocular lens systems having two lenses or one lens and one ring connected by sections of the same material are manufactured from a sheet material, and then the connecting sections are bent to align the optical axis of the lenses. Accommodation is achieved either when the two lenses are moved closer and further from each other, or when the single lens is moved closer and farther from the retina of the eye.

  • Sarfarazi corneal incision closure
    Patent number: 5383898
    Abstract: A method of sealing the corneal incision resulting from cataract surgery is presented. The edges of the incision are maneuvered under a keratoscope until an undistorted corneal surface is obtained. Biological glue is then applied to the maneuvered incision. The seal provides for greatly reduced postoperative astigmatism.
