  • Publication number: 20170079773
    Abstract: An apparatus for deploying an intraocular lens into an eye including a fluid delivery device that includes a fluid passageway extending to a proximal end of the fluid delivery device, the fluid passageway adapted to allow a fluid to flow therethrough from the proximal end of the fluid delivery device to within the fluid passageway, and a side vent that is not an intraocular lens delivery port, the side vent disposed proximal to an intraocular lens and adapted to vent air when fluid flows through the fluid passage, wherein the side vent is adapted to resist the flow of a viscoelastic material therethrough.

  • Patent number: 8314927
    Abstract: Systems and their methods of use for testing intraocular lenses outside of the lens capsule. In some embodiments the systems measure an accommodative response based on a force applied to the intraocular lens.

  • Patent number: 8020321
    Abstract: A snowshoe having a pivot axle for pitch rotation of the footbed platform relative to the snowshoe frame is supported from the frame in a manner that provides for significant lateral flexing, i.e. pivoting on the roll axis, to accommodate use of snowshoes on side hill terrain. Instead of a relatively rigid support from the snowshoe frame, the footbed platform is supported by left and right tension bands that are connected to the snowshoe frame and to left and right ends of the transverse pivot rod that provides pitch rotation. Preferably the connection to each end of the pivot rod is with a rotatable spindle over which the tension band engages, such rollers being connected at right angles to the two ends of the pivot rod. A rotation limiter can be included to limit free rotation of the binding in the pitch direction to a selected arc. The footbed support system can be employed on any type of snowshoe, whether a tubular frame, non-tubular frame or molded composite snowshoe.
