  • Publication number: 20240091067
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a moldable warming device is configured to provide, using a heating disc, therapeutic warmth and, using a harmonic RFSVG, tuned harmonic resonance frequency stimulation vibration according to determined tuning parameters across the contour of the entire surface of the user's eyelid and periorbital structures to induce expression of shear thinned and liquified meibum from each Meibomian gland in all four eyelids to improve the lipid layer of the surface of the user's eye tear film. According to an embodiment, the moldable warming device further includes a pair of removable and reusable eye pads, each eye pad including a miniaturized optical coherence tomography device configured to map, in real-time, a topography of the user's periocular surface, including a mapping of the eyes and the nose including interpupillary distance and corneal apex height above the lateral canthus to optimize conformance of the pair of eye pads to the periocular surface of the user's eyelids.

  • Publication number: 20220296362
    Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) can include an accommodating lens structure having an accommodating optical power. The AIOL can include a secondary structure removably connected to the accommodating lens. In some embodiments, the accommodating lens structure is configured to adjust the accommodating optical power in response to radial forces from the capsule of a patient. The secondary structure can be a sensor assembly, a powered lens and/or a light-adjustable lens. In some embodiments, the accommodating lens structure comprises an outer fluid reservoir and a fluid accommodating lens in fluid communication with the outer fluid reservoir. The outer fluid reservoir can be configured to transfer fluid into the fluid accommodating lens in reaction to compressive forces on the outer fluid reservoir.

  • Patent number: 11442725
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for the refactoring of local calls to network calls during software modernization. First and second application components are identified based on analysis of a computing application. A local call from the first application component to a process of the second application component is identified, and an independently deployable microservice is created from the computing application. The independently deployable subunit comprises the second application component having a network endpoint. The independently deployable microservice is deployed such that the process is accessible to the first application component via the network endpoint. The local call is programmatically refactored into a network call from the first application component to the process of the second application component.

  • Patent number: 10596038
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the treatment of the eye to reduce pain can treat at least an outer region of the tissue so as to denervate nerves extending into the inner region and reduce the pain. For example, the cornea of the eye may comprise an inner region having an epithelial defect, and an outer portion of the cornea can be treated to reduce pain of the epithelial defect. The outer portion of the cornea can be treated to denervate nerves extending from the outer portion to the inner portion. The outer portion can be treated in many ways to denervate the nerve, for example with one or more of heat, cold or a denervating noxious substance such as capsaicin. The denervation of the nerve can be reversible, such that corneal innervation can return following treatment.

  • Patent number: 10368979
    Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens includes an optic portion a haptic portion and a backstop. The optic portion of the lens includes an actuator that deflects a lens element to alter the optical power of the lens responsive to forces applied to the haptic portion of the lens by contraction of the ciliary muscles. Forces applied to the haptic portion may result in fluid displacements from or to the haptic portion from the actuator. The backstop provides support to the haptic so that bulk translation of the haptic is prevented in response to the forces applied by the capsular sac.
