Publication number: 20230165715Abstract: An intraocular cyclophotocoagulation device having a proximal, reusable portion and a distal, disposable portion. The reusable portion includes laser treatment assembly comprising a laser diode and a collimating lens positioned a distance distal to the laser diode and configured to collimate light from the laser diode into a collimated laser beam and direct the collimated laser beam towards a distal end region of the proximal housing portion; and an imaging assembly. The disposable portion includes a laser guide extending through an elongate shaft and an aspheric lens positioned within the distal housing portion to receive the collimated laser beam from the proximal reusable portion and direct the collimated laser beam toward a proximal end of a fiberoptic of the laser guide and an illumination light guide and an illumination source positioned within the distal housing portion. Related devices, systems, and methods are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Matthew Schuster, Luke W. Clauson, Nicholas G. Lewis, Matthew B. Newell

Patent number: 11241335Abstract: A device for extracting lens material from an eye including a distal, disposable portion releasably coupleable to a proximal, reusable portion. The disposable portion includes a cutting tube having a distal cutting tip and an inner lumen having an open distal end. The disposable portion includes an aspiration pump fluidly coupled to the inner lumen of the cutting tube and a cutting tube drive mechanism configured to oscillate the cutting tube. The reusable portion includes an aspiration pump motor configured to drive the aspiration pump and a coupler for releasably operatively coupling the pump motor to the aspiration pump. Related devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Carl Zeiss Meditec Cataract Technology Inc.Inventors: Brett Carter, Scott Chamness, Luke W.
