Filed:

May 12, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/570301

Inventors:

Larry W. Blake - Coto De Caza CA

Assignee:

Tekia - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61F 216

US Classification:

623 642, 623 644, 623 647, 623901, 623907

Abstract:

A film frame for an IOL has been developed which has the advantages of being lightweight, non-irritating, easily surgically implanted, aesthetically pleasing, and containing plate haptics. This IOL works in the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye for phakic or aphakic lenses and especially in the anterior chamber for phakic refractive lenses where thinner is better and long-term stability is required. This deformable IOL frame is a haptic system based on a high modulus harder material shaped skeletal frame or plate haptic assembled with low modulus softer elastomeric hinged zones. The rigid frame or haptic in combination with the soft hinges will ensure that the lens is ideally situated in the anterior chamber angle of the eye. Additionally, the soft elastomer can be extended to provide for a softer atraumatic contact point or âtoeâ in the eye tissue.

Pharmacia Upjohn Company - Irvine CA

International Classification:

B32B 3100

US Classification:

156245, 1562726, 1562733, 623 646

Abstract:

A lens, having an optical power surface, which may have multiple radii portions or aspherical portions as well as spherical portions, is molded in a coined old. A pair of core pins, positioned within the mold cavity during the lens forming process, will produce a pair of haptic-mounting holes within the lens. As the lenses are subsequently tumbled to remove flash, indentations will form adjacent to the haptic-mounting holes. These indentations allow for tangential attachment of the haptic to the lens which, in turn, enables maximum flexibility without exceeding the width of the optic.

Appl. No.:

09/477945

Inventors:

Larry W. Blake - Coto de Caza CA

Assignee:

Tekia, Inc. - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61F 900

US Classification:

606107, 623 612

Abstract:

This invention discloses devices for use with an ophthalmologic insertor apparatus. In one embodiment, the device is a flexible, stretchable sleeve holder adapted to fit over a deformable sleeve that houses an implant. The sleeve holder facilitates loading of an implant into the sleeve by providing a suitable gripping surface. Application of a compressive force to the sleeve holder further allows the implant to be immobilized within the sleeve. After loading of the implant into the sleeve, the holder may be used as a collar or hub to secure the sleeve to an insertor hand-piece. Methods for loading implants into delivery sleeves, methods for attaching sleeves to inserters, and methods for delivering implants to an incision are also disclosed.

International Classification:

A61F 2/16

US Classification:

623 637, 623 64, 623 644

Abstract:

International Classification:

A61F 2/16

US Classification:

623 646, 623 618, 623 641, 623 643, 623 647

Abstract:

A multi-part IOL which is insertable through an opening as small as about 1 mm without deforming the haptic, is described. This IOL may be used in the anterior chamber of the eye for phakic or aphakic lenses. After insertion of the haptic into the eye, any type of lens may be attached, especially by use of cleats. The haptic is a high modulus skeletal frame, and may be assembled with lower modulus material. An eyelet may be provided on the lens allowing a cleat on the haptic to firmly attach to the optic.

International Classification:

A61F002/16

US Classification:

623/006180, 623/006430, 623/006460

Abstract:

A two part IOL with a generally “L” or “S” shape but featuring straight or curved “V”-shaped structures which can be inserted through a very small opening by flexing the arms of the “V”-shaped structures up to or over each other is described. This IOL may be used in the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye for phakic or aphakic lenses. After insertion of the haptic into the eye, any type of lens may be attached, especially by use of cleats. The haptic is a high modulus skeletal frame and the lens is preferably formed of a lower modulus material and is attachable to cleats on the frame.
