  • Packaging solutions
    Patent number: 8490782
    Abstract: A packaging system for the storage of an ionic, hydrogel contact lens employs an aqueous packaging solution including a phosphorylcholine polymer. Preferably, the solution has an osmolality of at least about 200 mOsm/kg, a pH of about 6 to about 8 and is heat sterilized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2007
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2013
    Assignee: Bausch & Lomb Incorporated
    Inventors: Fang Zhao, Vicki L. Barniak, Martin J. Coffey, Robert M. Braun
  • SILICONE CONTACT LENSES WITH WRINKLED SURFACE
    Publication number: 20100039613
    Abstract: At least one of the surfaces of a silicone contact lens is a wrinkled surface, providing the contact lens surface with a desired topography. The wrinkled surface may include random ridges, either over the entire surface of the lens, or in a desired pattern on the surface of the lens.
    Type: Application

  • SILICONE CONTACT LENSES WITH WRINKLED SURFACE
    Publication number: 20080206481
    Abstract: At least one of the surfaces of a silicone contact lens is a wrinkled surface, providing the contact lens surface with a desired topography. The wrinkled surface may include random ridges, either over the entire surface of the lens, or in a desired pattern on the surface of the lens. The wrinkled surface is formed by subjecting the surface to a high energy source.

  • Fixed format message entry device with electronic storage and editing
    Patent number: 4001814
    Abstract: A fixed format message entry device employs a solid state memory for storing data. A portable keyboard is provided to input data to a display that is packaged with the keyboard and associated electronics. The display is comprised of an array of light emitting diodes operating with fiber optics. Overlay cards have openings, through which the light emitting diodes pass. Printed codes appear on the cards, next to respective fiber optics thus facilitating the interpretation of a display, by an operator.
