Abstract: An artificial lens which specifically simulates the human eye in its mechanical properties. It is possible to produce the lens directly from a peptide mixture. The lens can be either homogeneous or multilayered in structure.

Abstract: A device for use in performing experimental eye operations. A single eye, in either cut or uncut condition, is applied to and secured to an eye mounting. Associated with the eye mounting are tubes for conducting cleansing fluid to and from the eye for facilitating the operation thereon. A device simulating the front half of a human head, and having facial features has on at least one side a depression forming an artificial eye socket in which the eye mounting, with the eye, is positioned.

Abstract: This ophthalmological instrument is intended to aid in the removal of the mount (lens haptic) of an artificial intraocular lens from the eye, allowing the portion of the mount located behind the iris to be captured and severed by means of an axially sliding cutter installed inside the instrument head, in a tubular guide. In order to capture, sever and remove the mount from the eye in one single operation, it is the intent for the tubular guide to have a lateral opening at its tip, which is closed off by a stop plate at its face end. Parallel with the cutter, a holder with axially sliding motion is supported inside the tubular guide, which may be moved to contact the stop plate, independent of the cutter. The loop end to be severed is inserted sideways into the opening and, initially, clamped down by the holder against the stop plate, only to be severed by the cutter. Subsequently, the severed loop end is removed from the eye while still clamped down by the holder.

Abstract: An eye, having a rear opening opposite the pupil and is supported on a microscope slide, with the rear opening downward, and secured thereto with glue, surrounding the rear opening. An observation component including a video camera and a microscope is positioned above and directed downwardly through the pupil, and another is positioned below and directed upwardly through the rear opening. The pictures from the video cameras are presented on monitors, each individually, and blended. Lights are directed through the pupil and rear opening at an oblique angle to the ocular axis, and foot controls individually control movement of the observation components toward and from the eye.
