  • Publication number: 20260202682
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a contact lens comprising a lenticular in a superior portion of the contact lens wherein the contact lens attaches to an upper eyelid of a wearer by the lenticular interacting with an upper tarsal plate of the upper eyelid of a wearer, said interaction allows the contact lens to translate upwards in downgaze and maintain rotational stability. Further comprising the contact lens is a minus power optic zone having an edge where at least a portion of the edge is thinned relative to the remaining unthinned portion of the edge.

  • Publication number: 20250102830
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a contact lens comprising a an optic zone formed on a lens portion of the contact lens, the optic zone having a single power or multiple powers, and one or more transition zones between the one or more of the powers. The contact lens can also include a rear surface configured to center the contact lens on the cornea of the patient. In some instances, the contact lens may include a lenticular located in the superior portion of the contact lens, wherein the contact lens attaches to an upper eyelid of a wearer by the lenticular interacting with an upper tarsal plate of the upper eyelid of a wearer, said interaction causing the contact lens to translate upwards in downgaze.

  • Publication number: 20240341590
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for making a determination about an eye. The eye is aligned with an image acquisition device using a software application executing on the image acquisition device that provides visual and/or audible indicators through peripherals of the image acquisition device. The acquired image(s) is then transmitted to a cloud-based network where a determination about the eye is made based on the image(s). In some instances, a trained person has an ability to access, review, confirm or modify the determination made about the eye.

  • Publication number: 20230136482
    Abstract: A nutritional composition for enteral feeding provides sole-source or supplemental nutrition via a nutrition shake for glycemic control that contains lower sugar and carbohydrates while being entirely plant-based and suitable for vegan, lactose-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free diets. The composition comprises pea protein, a balanced fat blend (e.g., sunflower, flaxseed, and medium chain triglycerides), an easy to digest carbohydrate blend (e.g., agave syrup, brown rice syrup solids, pea starch), with agave inulin fiber, and micronutrients. The nutritional composition has a low glycemic index while excluding artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, corn syrup, sugar alcohols, lactose or milk protein, and common allergens. The composition includes a combination of ingredients specific to glycemic control, including plant-based omega-3 for cardiovascular health, phytonutrients such as quercetin and chlorogenic acid, and arginine to support nutritional needs of individuals with wounds.

  • Publication number: 20230140497
    Abstract: A nutritional composition for enteral and oral feeding provides sole-source or supplemental nutrition via a specialized formula for people on dialysis due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI), the formula being a calorically dense, high protein formula with optimized electrolyte content for people on dialysis due to CKD or AKI, while being entirely plant-based and suitable for vegan, lactose-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free diets. The nutritional composition comprises pea protein, a balanced fat blend (e.g., sunflower, flaxseed, and medium chain triglycerides), an easy to digest carbohydrate blend (e.g., agave syrup, brown rice syrup solids), with agave inulin fiber, and micronutrients. The nutritional composition provides relatively high amounts (e.g., compared to standard formulas) of certain micronutrients, including vitamin B6, vitamin B12, zinc, and/or selenium, and relatively low amounts of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus to meet the needs of CKD patients on dialysis.
