  • Edge design for reducing unwanted photic effects in intraocular lenses
    Patent number: 9931201
    Abstract: An intraocular lens (IOL) has an optic, a peripheral rim, and a reduced thickness region connecting the optic to the peripheral rim. The peripheral rim has a continuously curving outer edge that it does not include any tangents parallel to the optical axis either along its length or at the intersection of the outer edge with the anterior or posterior surfaces of the IOL.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 3, 2018
    Assignee: Novartis AG
    Inventors: Robert D. Angelopoulos, Kamal K. Das, Jonathan McCann

  • Intraocular rings and associated systems and methods
    Publication number: 20110313521
    Abstract: Intraocular rings, intraocular lens systems, and associated methods are disclosed. In some instances, the intraocular rings are formed of biocompatible pharmaceutical delivering materials and are configured to be implanted with conventional intraocular lens designs. The intraocular rings include engagement features for interfacing with haptics of the conventional intraocular lens designs in order to ensure proper orientation of the intraocular ring and intraocular lens relative to one another. In some instances, the intraocular rings also include haptics to encourage centering of the intraocular ring within the posterior capsule. The intraocular rings also serve to prevent posterior capsular opacification.
