Abstract: An ophthalmic aspiration pump roller-head assembly 10, includes a plurality of rollers 12, a base 16 attached to a first end of the rollers 12, and a face-plate 18 attached to a second end of the rollers 12. The face-plate 18 has at least one groove formed in the face-plate 18 for drawing a tube onto the rollers 12.

Abstract: The fitment is an elongated connector providing a conduit for aspirant to flow from a pump cartridge to an interior of the collection bag. The connector has a first end configured for attachment to the pump cartridge and a second end for positioning within the interior of the collection bag. The second end also includes at least one notch formed in the connector. The notch acts to prevent the collection bag from sealing off the conduit during surgery so that a sufficient amount of air will remain within the bag to allow a surgeon to air vent an aspiration path during surgery.

Abstract: An assembly and method for inspecting ophthalmic lenses includes a light source and a 360° light structuring aperture configured to direct structured light toward an open center where a lens is positioned for imaging by an imaging device positioned beneath the assembly. The structured light is directed at the entire periphery of the lens and is internally reflected by the lens in the manner of a fiber optic conduit whereby the lens appears dark at clear areas of the lens. If there are defects or imprints on the lens, the internally reflected light will scatter at that point and appear as a bright spot to the imaging device.

Abstract: A fixture for an induction brazing station includes a removable front plate on which is mounted a work piece holder. The base of the induction unit mounts to a back plate lying coplanar with the front plate on the work surface. The coil of the induction unit is uniquely matched to the front plate and the work piece holder. The induction coil removably mounts to the front plate when not in use such that the front plate may be removed from the work surface with the work piece holder and coil mounted thereon. A different front plate may then be mounted upon the work surface having a different coil configuration and work piece holder. The coil(s) are removed from the front plate and attached to the induction base on the back plate. The coil extends to the work piece holder on the front plate in the correct position. The invention provides for quick changeover between different induction units at a single work station.
