US Patent:

6589280, Jul 8, 2003

Filed:

May 11, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/852846

Inventors:

Jeffrey E. Koziol - South Barrington IL 60010

International Classification:

A61F 214

US Classification:

623 512, 623 511, 606 5

Abstract:

A method for correcting vision of an eye, including the steps of separating a portion of the cornea to form first and second internal surfaces in the cornea, and then placing at least one microscopic lens in between the first and second internal surfaces in the cornea, so that the external surface of the cornea is not substantially displaced. In a preferred embodiment, the microscopic lenses can be placed in concentric circles around the main optical axis so that the lenses form multifocal or bifocal vision.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Jeffrey E. Koziol - Arlington Heights IL, US

International Classification:

G06K 19/06

US Classification:

235494

Abstract:

The encoding mark uses a series of shapes as a guide, each of shape capable of being encoded with a finite number, including zero, of distinctive markings. The encoding of a predetermined identifier is performed by placing a predetermined number of distinctive markings substantially on the perimeter of at least one of the shapes in any spatial orientation with respect to each other on the series of shapes. The predetermined number of distinctive markings and the specific one of the shapes on which the distinctive mark is placed corresponds to a predetermined identifier. Since the shapes may only be a guide, they are not required to appear on the object marked with the encoding mark.

International Classification:

A61F 2/14

US Classification:

623 512, 623 514, 623 634

Abstract:

An in-phase intracorneal lens system that prevents substantial movement between connected lenses to provide high resolution of the eye. A first lens is adapted to be positioned on a surface of a cornea. A second lens has a substantially ring-shaped configuration and is substantially concentric with the first lens. At least one first bridge member extends from the first lens to the second lens to couple the first lens to the second lens to prevent substantial movement between the first and second lenses.

US Classification:

351160H

Abstract:

A soft corneal contact lens comprising a soft, highly oxygen-permeable, polymeric lens having formed on the surface thereof an ultrathin, optically clear, impermeable barrier coating. The barrier coating is tightly cross-linked and comprises the reaction product resulting from an electrical glow discharge polymerization process conducted in a gaseous atmosphere and will prevent diffusion into the lens of lipids and other large molecules from the eye's tear film. The lens is formed from silicone or polyurethane. The gaseous atmosphere consists essentially of compounds selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons; halogenated hydrocarbons; halogenated hydrocarbons and hydrogen; hydrocarbons and a halogen; and a mixture of any two or more of these compounds. The surface of the fully formed lens is highly hydrophilic which is accomplished during the polymerization process or in an additional step comprising glow discharge in the presence of oxygen or argon.

US Classification:

Abstract:

An improved intraocular lens mounting system for an Iris Clip type of lens. The lens has haptical portions extending laterally from the edges of the lens transversely to the optic axis of the lens. Fibrous material such as Dacron is attached to the outer edges of the haptical portions and provide bases into which the tissue of the iris can grow so as to form a firm anchor for the lens. The lens may also have two or more attached loops projecting in a plane generally parallel to the plane of the lens and to the haptical portions. The loops may be coated or encased in a sleeve of fibrous material and hold the lens in place with respect to the iris until tissue growth into the Dacron material is accomplished.

Inventors:

Jeffrey E. Koziol - Arlington Heights IL

International Classification:

A61N 506

US Classification:

606 5

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for delivering radiant energy beams onto an area of a cornea in a line focus to create a linear incisions. The radiant energy beams may be focused in a linear configuration onto the external surface of the cornea or onto intrastromal areas of the cornea of an eye to ablate the cornea in a radial slot, circumferential curved slot, or lenticular pattern, and thereby modify its curvature and refractive power. The apparatus includes an array of central reflectors and an assembly of peripheral reflectors. Each central reflector is associated with a respective peripheral reflector so that a beam reflected by the central reflector is intercepted by its associated peripheral reflector and is again reflected to precisely incise either external or internal areas of the cornea. Each peripheral reflector has a curved reflective surface to provide a line focus on the cornea, including both rectilinear and curvilinear line focus to create radial and circumferential curved incisions. In a modified embodiment, the assembly of peripheral reflectors and the array of central reflectors rotate to permit lathing of the cornea.
