  • Patent number: 12690763
    Abstract: A diagnosis method includes: (a) checking tear film break-up time point and location by photographing cornea of the subject's eye and checking in time series at least one or more times of the tear film break-up time point; (b) checking corneal surface temperature by measuring the surface temperature of the cornea of the subject to be evaluated using a thermal imaging camera performed simultaneously with the photographing of the tear film of the eye; (c) mapping the tear film break-up time point and the change in the surface temperature of the cornea based on time; and (d) diagnosing type of dry eye syndrome based on any one of the tear film break-up time point and a location of surface temperature change time point of the corneal corresponding thereto, in mapping result in step (c).

  • Publication number: 20260099648
    Abstract: A deep learning-based lens simulation method and a system therefor are provided. The lens simulation method according to several embodiments of the present disclosure acquires a deep learning model constructed to predict optical characteristic values of a lens from an input pattern image, predicts, through the acquired deep learning model, optical characteristic values of a target lens from a pattern image associated with the target lens, and uses the predicted optical characteristic values so as to accurately simulate a visual field seen through the target lens.

  • Publication number: 20250090303
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an artificial lens fixing sac for fixing an artificial lens for cataract surgery. The artificial lens fixing sac for fixing an artificial lens for cataract surgery of the present disclosure is installed at a position of a lens that is removed by cataract surgery, and the artificial lens fixing sac includes an implantation hole in which an artificial lens, which is inserted into an internal space of the artificial lens fixing sac, is implanted at the position of the removed lens, and fixing threads installed at predetermined intervals on an outer peripheral edge of the artificial lens fixing sac to fix the artificial lens fixing sac to a sclera.

  • Patent number: 11826282
    Abstract: A method for cataract surgery includes incising a continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (CCC) in an anterior capsule of a lens of an eye, inserting an endoillumination probe into the lens through the CCC, further inserting the endoillumination probe to a location below an equator of the lens and below a nucleus of the lens, tilting the endoillumination probe to laterally aim light emitted from the endoillumination probe behind the nucleus, and chopping the nucleus with a chopper needle of the endoillumination probe. The chopping further includes chopping the nucleus with a phaco tip.

  • Publication number: 20230041723
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-sealable injection needle for inhibiting formation of fistula on an eyeball, and a method for manufacturing same. More specifically, the self-sealable injection needle for inhibiting formation of fistula on an eyeball, which is coated with hyaluronic acid on the surface thereof, can immediately close a hole that is inevitably formed when the injection needle is pulled out of an eyeball during the application of an ocular injection to prevent leakage of aqueous humor and to prevent backflow of drug out of the eyeball and can block bacterial penetration to prevent infection in the eyeball.
