  • Publication number: 20060100704
    Abstract: An accommodating artificial ocular lens (AAOL) device including a moving lens optic portion connected to a lens plate haptic portion. Preferably, the lens optic portion is connected to the lens plate haptic portion by a pair of flexible or resilient transverse oriented lens arm portions to provide or allow for movement of the lens optic portion.

  • Publication number: 20050246019
    Abstract: A two part IOL with a generally “L” or “S” shape but featuring straight or curved “V”-shaped structures which can be inserted through a very small opening by flexing the arms of the “V”-shaped structures up to or over each other is described. This IOL may be used in the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye for phakic or aphakic lenses. After insertion of the haptic 110 into the eye 1, any type of lens 200 may be attached, especially by use of cleats 300 and an eyelet 400. The haptic 110 is a high modulus skeletal frame and the lens 200 is preferably formed of a lower modulus material and is attachable to cleats 300 on the frame 110.

  • Publication number: 20050021137
    Abstract: An aspheric soft intraocular lens, having an optical power surface, which may have multiple radii portions or aspherical portions, as well as spherical portions, intended to replace the crystalline lens of a patient's eye, in particular after a cataract extraction. Such an aspheric soft lens is molded in a coined mold. A pair of core pins, positioned within the mold cavity during the lens forming process, will produce a pair of haptic-mounting holes within the lens. As the lenses are subsequently tumbled to remove flash, indentations will form adjacent to the haptic-mounting holes. These indentations allow for tangential attachment of the haptic to the lens which, in turn, enables maximum flexibility without exceeding the width of the optic.

  • Patent number: 6280449
    Abstract: This invention discloses insertor devices that employ a flexible, deformable sleeve to house an implant. In one embodiment, a device is described that employs squeezing blades to advance an implant through the flexible sleeve into a passageway, tissue or cavity of the body. The invention further relates to holders for the sleeve to facilitate loading of an implant into the sleeve. In a preferred embodiment, the device is an insertor for a foldable lens and in particular the device is an insertor for the introduction of an intraocular lens into the eye. Methods for loading the devices of this invention with an implant, methods for making the sleeves of this invention and methods for use are discussed.
