  • Accommodating intraocular lenses
    Patent number: 9011532
    Abstract: An intraocular lens is disclosed, with an optic that changes shape in response to a deforming force exerted by the zonules of the eye. A haptic supports the optic around its equator and couples the optic to the capsular bag of the eye. Certain haptic features improve the accommodative performance of the haptic, such that compressive/tensile forces may be more efficiently transferred from the haptic to optic. Furthermore, certain aspects also provide enhanced bag-sizing capability so that the IOL better fits within the capsular bag.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2015
    Assignee: Abbott Medical Optics Inc.
    Inventors: Timothy Bumbalough, Rakhi Jain, Scott J. Catlin, Tamara J. Yorita
  • COMPUTER-BASED OPERATING ROOM SUPPORT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20150073816
    Abstract: A computer-based surgery support system and method for obtaining information of surgical procedures from networked equipment in an operating room, storing the retrieved information in a database, receiving a request for the stored information from a user terminal, and providing the stored information in accordance with the received request.
