Publication number: 20260109796Abstract: This invention is directed to compounds and compositions which are designed for use in light adjustable ophthalmic devices, such as intraocular implants, intraocular lenses, phakic intraocular lenses, contact lenses, orthokeratology lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, corneal inlays, corneal outlays, or corneal inserts. The inventive compositions are produced from reactive monomer mixtures which when polymerized form polymers or polymeric networks having editable refractive indices. Such inventive compositions when exposed to light of certain wavelengths undergo intramolecular cycloaddition reactions thereby changing the refractive index in the irradiated regions. When used in ophthalmic devices, the inventive compositions enable post-manufacturing and/or post-operative adjustments to the optics of the devices by spatially modifying the refractive index.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2025Publication date: April 23, 2026Inventors: Shivkumar Mahadevan, Azaam Alli, Scott Joslin

Publication number: 20240209129Abstract: Disclosed are compositions which are produced from reactive monomer mixtures and which have both high refractive indexes and high Abbe numbers. These materials are well suited for use as implantable ophthalmic devices and have a refractive index which may be edited through the application of energy. When used for an intraocular lens, the high refractive index allows for a thin lens which compresses easily through a small incision. Some compositions are suitable for use as intraocular lenses, phakic intraocular lenses, contact lenses, orthokeratology lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, corneal inlays, corneal outlays, or corneal inserts.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: June 27, 2024Inventors: Azaam Alli, Scott Joslin, Michael Lopez
