Abstract: A system and method for recording a customized greeting to be utilized in connection with a greeting device such as a card includes providing a single use or multiuse recordable device on the greeting card. The recordable device is coupled by a removable and/or disposable cable or by a wireless connection to an electronic device such as a computer, MP3 player or other processing device capable of transferring files. A user records or downloads one or more music, voice or audio file(s) he or she wants to transfer to the recordable device on the greeting card and subsequently transfers the file(s) to the recordable device. In the case where the user utilizes a cable, the user then removes, cuts or tears the cable from the greeting card. The greeting card can then be delivered or mailed in a traditional manner with a customized recording.

Abstract: A method of preventing rotation, de-centering, and/or backwards implantation of a corneal inlay relative to a cornea is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the corneal inlay includes a plurality of microscopic spike like protrusions disposed on the bottom of a corneal inlay that engage the surface the cornea. Alternatively, apertures may be ablated in the cornea that are sized and shaped to accept at least a portion of the corneal inlay such as a protrusion. The apertures and protrusions form a “lock and key” type arrangement that prevents movement of the corneal inlay and aid in the precise placement and maintenance of the placement of the inlay. The corneal inlay and aperture preferably include a non-circular shape.

Abstract: A portable visual acuity testing system and method is used to measure the visual acuity of a person being tested. The portable visual acuity testing system includes a portable visual acuity testing structure and a plurality of interchangeable image display cards adapted to be engaged with the structure. Each image display card includes one or more images, such as a Snellen letter or Allen figure, of a predetermined size. A distance measurer, such as an ultrasonic distance measuring device is included within the portable visual acuity testing structure. When the portable visual acuity testing device is positioned at a distance from the person being tested at which the person can see or visually recognize the image, the distance measurer is activated to automatically and accurately measure the distance to the person being tested.
