Patent number: 7986465Abstract: Fluidic lens devices, and systems employing such lens devices, along with methods of fabricating and operating such lens devices, are disclosed. Certain of the disclosed structures permit fluidic lens devices to operate without valves that control fluid exchange between fluidic lenses and reservoirs. Also disclosed are fluidic lens devices that comprise a fluidic lens but no reservoir. Additional disclosed structures and methods permit fluidic lens devices to perform zoom and focus functions.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2008Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Rhevision Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yu-Hwa Lo, Jeffrey R. Vasko, Robert S. Vasko

Publication number: 20110118834Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluidic intraocular lens inserted into a capsular bag of an eye to replace a crystalline lens. The fluidic intraocular lens may be shaped by elastic membranes bonded to a support ring. The space inside the device may be filled with optically transparent fluid or gel having an index of refraction greater than the index of vitreous humor. The device may be such designed so that the focusing power of the lens can be changed by the deformation of the capsular bag, which may be subsequently controlled by a ciliary muscle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2010Publication date: May 19, 2011Inventors: Yuhwa Lo, Wen Qiao, David Schanzlin, Gary L. Shields, Robert S. Vasko, Jeff Vasko
