Abstract: Biocompatible intraocular implants include an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist and a polymer associated with the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist to facilitate release of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist into an eye for an extended period of time. The alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. The implants can be placed in an eye to treat one or more ocular conditions, such as an ocular vasculopathy or glaucoma, among others or to improve vision in a normal eye.

Abstract: Biocompatible intraocular microspheres and implants include an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist and a polymer associated with the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist to facilitate release of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist into an eye for an extended period of time. The alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat or to prevent the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, to reduce one or more symptoms of an ocular condition, such as an ocular neurosensory disorder and the like, to enhance normal retinal function and/or to lower intraocular pressure.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the treatment of ocular neovascularization (CNV) and macular degeneration. The invention includes combining laser treatment with administration of a neuroprotectant.

Abstract: A flow regulator comprises a float valve body provided in an inner container which in turn is fitted in a lower portion of an outer container. The float body has an elongated slender upper portion which is suddenly restricted at an upper side and an elongated tapered lower portion. The slender upper portion extends through a central opening of a first plate at the top end of the inner container. The tapered lower portion passes through a valve seat of a second plate placed below the first plate and extends beyond a restricted tubular bottom end of the inner container. A flexible tube is sleeved on said tubular bottom end and receives the end of the float body. By moving the flexible tube, the float body can be moved away from the valve seat. A further valve seat may be formed in the tubular bottom end of the inner container.
