Abstract: Knowledge of the anatomical, post-operative position and orientation influences not only the selection of the IOL to be implanted but also the result of the refractive operation on the eye. In the method for selecting an IOL to be implanted into an eye on the basis of the prediction of the anatomical, post-operative position (ALP) and orientation thereof, based on pre-operative measuring values such as, for example, anterior chamber depth (VKT), lens thickness (LD) and axial eye length (AL), the invention additionally or exclusively uses the curvature(s) of the eye lens or measuring values derived therefrom. The proposed method is used to predict the anatomical, post-operative position (ALP) and orientation of an intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted into an eye.

Abstract: A method of determining at least one selection parameter for selecting an intraocular lens to be inserted into an eye; the method comprises reading, by a data processing system, data indicative of an axial position of at least a portion of an anterior surface of an at least partially empty capsular bag of the eye, relative to an optical axis of the eye. The method further comprises determining an axial position parameter, which is representative of the axial position of the portion of the anterior surface, depending on the data. The method further comprises determining the at least one selection parameter for selecting the intraocular lens depending on the determined position parameter.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an aqueous viscoelastic fluid for producing a medicinal product for the surgical treatment of the eye, which fluid produces an optical magnifying effect of the lens and the pupil upon application onto the surface of the eye from a single-dose receptacle. The viscoelastic fluid comprises at least one viscosity-increasing, physiologically acceptable polymer selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hyaluronic acid, sodium alginate, hydroxylpropyl guar polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethacrylic acid (carbomer), polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene copolymer (poloxamer) and polyethylene glycol, at a concentration of 0.01-30%.

Abstract: A method for producing a container welded in a protective wrapping, which contains a viscoelastic fluid for use as eye drops in the chirurgical treatment of eyes, wherein the container is configured such that the fluid may be removed from the container via a predetermined breaking point, characterized by the combination of the measures that the viscoelastic fluid is filled into the container, which is thereupon closed, the closed container is welded into a protective wrapping, whereupon the welded container including the protective wrapping is subjected to thermal sterilization.
