  • Patent number: 11467424
    Abstract: A contact lens for use in controlling the progression of myopia has a central optical zone approximating the normal diameter of the pupil of the eye that gives clear central vision at distance for the wearer. An annular peripheral optical zone that is substantially outside the diameter of the pupil is formed around the central optical zone with greater refractive power than that of the central zone so that oblique rays entering the eye through the peripheral optical zone will be brought to focus at a focal plane that is substantially on or anterior to the peripheral region of the retina.

  • Patent number: 11396897
    Abstract: A lug used to construct a band clamp. The lug includes a rod receiving portion connected to a band receiving portion. The rod receiving portion has a distal portion opposite a proximal portion and a through-channel that allows a threaded rod to pass therethrough. The band receiving portion has head and tail portions and a passageway that allows the band to travel over the head and tail portions. The band receiving portion allows the band to be wrapped partway around the head portion after traveling over the head portion and thereafter to travel under both the head and tail portions. The proximal portion is closer to the passageway than the distal portion. The rod applies a tightening force directly to the band receiving portion and/or the proximal portion of the rod receiving portion. The rod does not apply the tightening force directly to the distal portion.
