  • Publication number: 20250107885
    Abstract: Provided is a production device for producing an intraocular lens blank, with a first mold half, which has an outer ring, and a second mold half, which have a spacing state, in which the second mold half is arranged outside the outer ring, and a proximity state, in which the second mold half is clamped in the outer ring as a result of inserting the second mold half in an inserting direction, wherein the first mold half has a central region of the first mold half and the second mold half has a central region of the second mold half, wherein the second mold half has a bellows, which extends fully circumferentially around the central region of the second mold half in a circumferential direction with respect to an optical axis of the optical body and has a first bellows portion and a second bellows portion, which is arranged directly outside the first bellows portion in a radial direction with respect to the optical axis and, in the spacing state, forms with the first bellows portion a first angle (?), which is s

  • Patent number: 12257146
    Abstract: An ophthalmosurgical injector includes a cannula, a barrel, an outer plunger mounted in the barrel and together with the barrel delimiting a barrel cavity arranged in the barrel, and into which an intraocular lens can be introduced, and an inner plunger mounted in the outer plunger and together with the outer plunger delimiting an outer plunger cavity arranged in the outer plunger and into which a liquid can be introduced. The injector is configured such that a first movement, executed by the inner plunger relative to the outer plunger such that the outer plunger cavity becomes smaller, causes the liquid to flow from the outer plunger cavity into the barrel cavity, and a second movement, executed by the outer plunger relative to the barrel such that the barrel cavity becomes smaller, causes the intraocular lens to be pressed out of the barrel cavity and into the cannula.

  • Publication number: 20250032244
    Abstract: A method for producing an ophthalmological device includes providing a tube transparent to electromagnetic radiation, filling the tube with a liquid which is curable with electromagnetic radiation, introducing a first component into the tube, supplying the first component to a tomographic printing apparatus with a laminar flow, creating and/or providing a data record made of images of a second component, tomographically printing the curable liquid in the tube with electromagnetic radiation using as starting point the created and/or provided data record for forming the second component, the creation and/or provision of the data record and the tomographic printing being implemented such that the second component is arranged on the first component and/or at least partially encloses the latter, and removing the first and second components arranged thereon from the at least one tomographic printing apparatus with a laminar flow. In addition, an arrangement for producing an ophthalmological device is provided.

  • Publication number: 20240350254
    Abstract: An ophthalmic implant has at least one marker element, wherein the at least one marker element is designed to provide information for the machine-based identification and/or characterisation of the ophthalmic implant and information for the machine-based determination of an orientation of the ophthalmic implant. The marker element is arranged in and/or on the ophthalmic implant such that the information for identifying and/or characterising the ophthalmic implant and/or the information for the machine-based determination of the orientation of the ophthalmic implant is intraoperatively and/or postoperatively machine-readable.

  • Patent number: 12016771
    Abstract: An intraocular lens has an optic body, a haptic element mounted on the optic body and having a haptic curvature and a plurality of recesses on the side of the haptic element facing the optic body, a first actuator configured to reversibly change the haptic curvature of the haptic element such that the haptic element is moved away from the optic body from a rest position, a brace arm mounted on the optic body and the longitudinal brace arm end which is configured to be provided a recess when the haptic element is in the rest position, and a second actuator configured to reversibly change, with a change in a property of the second actuator, a brace arm curvature of the brace arm such that the recess in which the longitudinal brace arm end is to be provided can be adjusted with the property of the second actuator.

  • Publication number: 20230414316
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmological implant (100) with an optically imaging element (110), a digital product identifier (130) being arranged on the optically imaging element. The invention additionally relates to a corresponding method for producing the implant and to a machine reading system (200) for detecting and decoding the digital product identifier. The aim of the invention is to provide an ophthalmological implant and a method for producing same, said method allowing a unique and complete product identifier and a check thereof using simple means at any point in time. This is achieved by an ophthalmological implant with a digital product identifier (130) which is implemented by means of an encoded point grid (135) of identifier points (57), said point grid being machine-readable in the visible light range and having one irregular semi-random character.
