US Patent:

20140052246, Feb 20, 2014

Filed:

Aug 16, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/969115

Inventors:

Glenn SUSSMAN - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Paul McLEAN - North Oaks MN, US
Robert E. ATKINSON - Lake Elmo MN, US

Assignee:

THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AND CLARVISTA MEDICAL, INC. a body corporate - Denver CO
CLARVISTA MEDICAL, INC. - Aliso Viejo CA

International Classification:

A61F 2/16

US Classification:

623 641

Abstract:

A modular IOL system including intraocular primary and secondary components, which, when combined, form an intraocular optical correction device, wherein the secondary component is placed on the primary component within the perimeter of the capsulorhexis, thus avoiding the need to touch or otherwise manipulate the capsular bag. The secondary component may be manipulated, removed, and/or exchanged for a different secondary component for correction or modification of the optical result, on an intra-operative or post-operative basis, without the need to remove the primary component and without the need to manipulate the capsular bag. The primary component may have haptics extending therefrom for centration in the capsular bag, and the secondary component may exclude haptics, relying instead on attachment to the primary component for stability. Such attachment may include actuatable interlocking members.

Appl. No.:

17/337734

Inventors:

- Fribourg, CH
- Denver CO, US
Rudolph F. Zacher - Costa Mesa CA, US
Paul J. McLean - North Oaks MN, US
Robert E. ATKINSON - Lake Elmo MN, US

Assignee:

Alcon Inc. - Fribourg
The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporate - Denver CO

International Classification:

A61F 2/16

Abstract:

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) that improve lens stability by, for example, increasing anterior-posterior stiffness of the IOL, increasing anterior-posterior dimensions of the IOL and/or increasing contact area with the equator of the bag to resist movement of the IOL as the bag collapses over time. These IOLs may be non-modular (single component) or modular (multiple component). In modular embodiments, the IOL system may include intraocular base and optic components, which, when combined, form a modular IOL.

Abstract:

Devices, systems and methods are taught herein for non-invasively lowering intra-ocular pressure (IOP). In examples, the device applies non-invasive, focal, mechanical oscillation to the limbal region of the eye at a low amplitude and frequency, targeting the trabecular meshwork to restore outflow function and lower IOP.
