  • Publication number: 20210101020
    Abstract: Devices and approaches for activating cross-linking within corneal tissue to stabilize and strengthen the corneal tissue following an eye therapy treatment. A feedback system is provided to acquire measurements and pass feedback information to a controller. The feedback system may include an interferometer system, a corneal polarimetry system, or other configurations for monitoring cross-linking activity within the cornea. The controller is adapted to analyze the feedback information and adjust treatment to the eye based on the information. Aspects of the feedback system may also be used to monitor and diagnose features of the eye. Methods of activating cross-linking according to information provided by a feedback system in order to improve accuracy and safety of a cross-linking therapy are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20070087034
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a drug delivery system and method provide a member including a combination of a drug substance and a polymer or other material, and an encapsulating layer formed in an outer surface of the member by gas cluster ion beam irradiation of the outer surface of the member, which encapsulating layer is adapted to determine one or more characteristics of the drug delivery system.

  • Publication number: 20060204534
    Abstract: Medical devices implanted or otherwise used in a mammal are made less prone to trigger adverse reactions by use of gas cluster ion-beam (GCIB) surface modification adhere various drug molecules directly into or onto the surface of medical devices, and optionally building adhered drug layers upon the first adhered layer to obtain a desired drug elution profile. This is accomplished without the need for a polymer or any other binding agent to retain the drug.
