Patent number: 11385480Abstract: Apparatus and systems for an ophthalmic device having alignment features that aid assembly of a liquid filled layered stack are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include first, second, and third optical elements arranged in a stack, with each optical element including alignment and separation features. The alignment and separation features may form an optic region and a dam region. The optic region encircles an optical axis of each of the optical elements. The dam region includes a first dam formed due to the first and second optical elements being in contact, and a second dam formed due to the second and third optical elements being in contact, wherein the dam region determines an optic region gap width.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Jeremy L. Emken, Scott B. Kennedy

Patent number: 11378819Abstract: An ophthalmic device includes a rigid insert and an enclosure enveloping the rigid insert. The enclosure includes a cornea contact formed on a concave side of the enclosure. The cornea contact has a ring-shape that protrudes from the concave side of the enclosure and is disposed under at least a portion of the rigid insert. The ring-shape of the cornea contact includes a plurality of discontinuous sections. The plurality of channels are disposed on the concave side of the enclosure and each extend through a corresponding one of the discontinuous sections of the cornea contact.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Daniel B. Otts, Jeremy L. Emken, Joshua N. Haddock, James D. Riall, James W. Haywood

Patent number: 11273029Abstract: An intraocular lens (IOL) includes one or more haptic structures coupled to hold the IOL (100A) system in an eye. The IOL also includes one or more mechanical-to-electrical transducers (107) that detect mechanical changes in the eye and, in response to the mechanical changes, output an electrical signal. An accommodation actuator (101) is electrically coupled to the one or more mechanical-to-electrical transducers, and in response to the electrical signal the optical power of the accommodation actuator changes.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Jeremy L. Emken, Shungneng Lee

Patent number: 11119337Abstract: An ophthalmic device including patterned tabs is disclosed herein. An example ophthalmic device may include a plurality of optical elements formed into a stack and a substrate. A subset of optical elements of the plurality of optical elements may include a tab extending radially outward from an edge perimeter of a respective optical element, and each tab may include an opening formed there through. The substrate may include a plurality of bond pads, where each optical element of the plurality of optical elements is coupled to one of the plurality of bond pads by a conductive material, and the conductive material is disposed within respective openings of the subset of optical elements of the plurality of optical elements.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Inventors: Jeremy L. Emken, Scott B. Kennedy

Patent number: 10877295Abstract: An ophthalmic device having posterior and anterior features are disclosed herein. An example ophthalmic device may include an enclosure having an insert disposed therein. The enclosure may include a cornea contact disposed on a posterior side and arranged to rest on a user's cornea outside of a central cornea area when the ophthalmic device is worn by a user. The enclosure further includes a channel formed in the posterior side, where the channel extends through the cornea contact from at least radially outside of the insert to an inner edge of the cornea contact.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Daniel B. Otts, Jeremy L. Emken, Joshua N. Haddock, James D. Riall, James W. Haywood

Publication number: 20190196225Abstract: Apparatus and systems for an ophthalmic device having alignment features for a liquid filled layered stack to assemble are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include first, second, and third optical elements arranged in a stack, with each optical element including alignment and separation features. The alignment and separation features may form a reservoir region and a dam region. The reservoir region may provide radial alignment to the first, second, and third optical elements such that an optical axis of each optical element is aligned, and the reservoir region may have a reservoir region gap formed between adjacent ones of the optical elements. The dam region, disposed radially outside of the reservoir region, may include a first dam formed due to the first and second optical elements being in contact, and a second dam formed due to the second and third optical elements being in contact, wherein the dam region determines a reservoir region gap width.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2019Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Jeremy L.
