Publication number: 20220370195Abstract: Modular IOL removal systems and methods that cut an optic portion of an intraocular in a single motion such to facilitate removal of the optic portion from an eye through an incision, for example a corneal incision, without increasing the size of the corneal incision. Various cutting tools having one or more blades may be utilized. The cut intraocular lens may have one continuous cut or be cut into multiple smaller pieces. The single cutting step may apply balanced forces and torque to avoid damaging the surrounding eye anatomy, reducing the risk of trauma.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicants: Alcon Inc., The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Malik Y. KAHOOK, Glenn SUSSMAN, Paul McLEAN, Andrew Thomas SCHIEBER

Publication number: 20220346943Abstract: A modular IOL system including intraocular primary and secondary components, which, when combined, form an intraocular optical correction device, wherein the secondary component is placed on the primary component within the perimeter of the capsulorhexis, thus avoiding the need to touch or otherwise manipulate the capsular bag. The secondary component may be manipulated, removed, and/or exchanged for a different secondary component for correction or modification of the optical result, on an intra-operative or post-operative basis, without the need to remove the primary component and without the need to manipulate the capsular bag. The primary component may have haptics extending therefrom for centration in the capsular bag, and the secondary component may exclude haptics, relying instead on attachment to the primary component for stability. Such attachment may include actuatable interlocking members.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Applicants: Alcon Inc., The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Malik Y. KAHOOK, Naresh MANDAVA, Glenn SUSSMAN, Paul MCLEAN, Robert E. ATKINSON

Publication number: 20220331094Abstract: Modular IOL systems including a base and a lens, wherein the lens includes fixed and actuatable tabs for connection to the base. The modular IOL allows for the lens to be adjusted or exchanged while leaving the base in place, either intra-operatively or post-operatively. Drug delivery capabilities and/or sensing capabilities may be incorporated into the base. Injector devices may be used to facilitate placement of the base and the lens sequentially or simultaneously into the eye.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicants: Alcon Inc., The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Malik Y.

Publication number: 20220287823Abstract: An intraocular lens system may include a base that may include an annular body, an opening extending through the annular body in an axial direction of the annular body, and a recess extending circumferentially about the opening. The system also may include a lens that may be insertable into and removable from the recess. The lens may include a central optic, a first tab protruding radially away from the central optic, and a second tab protruding radially away from the central optic. The second tab may be more resistant to compression in a radial direction than the first tab. The first tab may include a first arm protruding radially away from the central optic, a second arm protruding radially away from the central optic and extending away from the first arm, and a third arm extending from the first arm to the second arm. Movement of one or more of the first, second, and third arms may result in deformation of the first tab.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Alcon Inc.Inventors: Rudolph F.

Patent number: 11298262Abstract: An ophthalmic implant for drug delivery. The implant includes a primary intracapsular device coupled to a secondary device, wherein, when implanted in a patient's eye, the primary intracapsular device is held in place by the patient's capsular bag and the secondary device is held in place by the primary intracapsular device. The implant may be inserted in the eye by injecting the primary intracapsular device into the eye either before or after attaching the secondary device to the primary intracapsular device, and subsequently positioning the joined secondary device and primary intracapsular device with the primary intracapsular device held in place by the patient's capsular bag and the secondary device held in place by the primary intracapsular device. The secondary device may be designed to hold a tertiary device that can be implanted and attached at the time of surgery or anytime postoperatively.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignees: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, A BODY CORPORATE, SPYGLASS PHARMA, INC.Inventors: Malik Y.
