Modular intraocular lens designs, tools and methods
TLDR
In this article, a modular IOL system including a base and a lens, wherein the lens includes fixed and actuatable tabs for connection to the base, is presented, allowing for the lens to be adjusted or exchanged while leaving the base in place, either intra-operatively or postoperatively.Abstract:
Modular IOL systems including a base and a lens, wherein the lens includes fixed and actuatable tabs for connection to the base. The modular IOL allows for the lens to be adjusted or exchanged while leaving the base in place, either intra-operatively or post-operatively. Drug delivery capabilities and/or sensing capabilities may be incorporated into the base. Injector devices may be used to facilitate placement of the base and the lens sequentially or simultaneously into the eye.read more

Accommodating intraocular lens device
TL;DR: In this article, an intraocular lens (IOL) can be implanted either alone or as part of a two-part lens assembly, which comprises an optic, a flexible membrane and a peripheral edge coupling the optic and the flexible membrane.
Patent
Accommodating intraocular lens
TL;DR: In this paper, a planar member, a piano convex member, and a fluid optical element defined between the planar and the convex members of the piano were used to implant an intraocular lens into a patient's eye.
Patent
Prosthetic capsular devices, systems, and methods
TL;DR: A prosthetic capsular device configured to be inserted in an eye includes a housing structure and a ring structure as discussed by the authors, which includes a first side, a second side, an anterior side opposite the posterior side, and a longitudinal axis.
Patent
Hydrophilic aiol with bonding
TL;DR: An accommodating intraocular lens comprises a first lens component, a second lens component and an adhesive between portions of the two lens components as discussed by the authors, which is hydratable such that the lens components and the cured adhesive therebetween can swell together to inhibit stresses between the lenses and the adhesive.
Patent
Two-part accommodating intraocular lens device
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-part accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) device for implantation in a capsular bag of a patient's eye is presented, which includes a primary lens assembly and a power changing lens.

Patent
Sustained release drug delivery devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and device for treating a mammalian organism to obtain a desired local or systemic physiological or pharmacological effect is provided, which consists of an inner core or reservoir comprising the effective agent.
Patent
Apparatus and method for insertion of an intra-ocular lens
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus and method for inserting an intra-ocular lens into an eye is disclosed. But this method requires the insertion of small incisions, of the order of several millimeters, such as are employed in the phacoemulsification technique of cataract removal.
Patent
Adjustable intraocular lens
Robert Anello,Ali Amiry +1 more
TL;DR: Improved adjustable intraocular lenses are disclosed, in which the optic(s) can be rotated post-operatively using manual methods; controlled pulses of laser radiation or micromotors to achieve improved focus and astigmatic correction.
Patent
"Spare parts" for use in ophthalmic surgical procedures
TL;DR: For use in ophthalmic surgery, the surgeon has available a supply of "spare parts" which are artificial members, possibly simulating different components of the eye, that are suited, depending on their structural forms and shapes, for surgical implantation in the eye as and/or in connection with repair and reinforcement and or replacement structures for damaged or diseased eye components.
