  • Publication number: 20240024095
    Abstract: A multi-piece IOL assembly is provided that includes a platform and an optic. The platform has an inner periphery surrounding an inner zone of the platform. The optic has an optical zone, an outer periphery and a retention mechanism disposed on the outer periphery. The optic is configured to be disposed in the inner zone of the platform and to extend to a location between the inner periphery and the outer periphery of the platform to be secured to the platform at the location. The platform can be secured to an inner periphery of the eye or can be formed into a natural lens by cutting the lens using a laser or other energy source.

  • Patent number: 10390939
    Abstract: An intraocular lens that is capable of being inserted through a micro-incision includes an optic having an anterior and a posterior surface and a plurality of projections extending from the anterior and posterior surfaces. The anterior and posterior surfaces include a recess. The optic is implanted such that a rim of the capsulorhexis is disposed in the recess such that the plurality of projections grip the capsular bag.

  • Patent number: 10123690
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring dysphotopsia are provided. These systems and methods can be used to objectively quantify positive and negative dysphotopsia. One embodiment provides a system and method for determining dysphotopsia that uses a first light source configured to provide light energy to illuminate a model eye, a refractor for refracting the light energy from the first light source and directing it into the model eye, a first electronic light sensor for measuring an amount of light in the model eye; a second light source configured to provide light energy to illuminate the model eye, wherein the light energy from the second light source is introduced at an angle from the first light source; and a second electronic light sensor for measuring the amount of light in the model eye, wherein the second electronic light sensor is capable of taking measurements from various points around the model eye. Data from these measurements can then analyzed to provide an objective measurement of dysphotopsia.

  • Patent number: 10070952
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for constricting a cornea of a human eye are disclosed. A control device external to the subject eye, such as an induction generator, may be configured to create a stimulus, such as a magnetic field, for an implanted ring that, when stimulated, may change the curvature, and thus the dioptric power, of the eye, thereby approximating natural accommodation.
