Systems and methods for compensating for intraocular lens tilt

Systems and methods for compensating for tilt of an intraocular lens (IOL) and systems and methods for adjusting an IOL are disclosed herein. For example, one of the methods may include capturing one or more optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of a subject's eye while implanting the IOL within the subject's eye. The method may further include generating a fixation target such that the fixation target is visible to an eye of the subject; and moving the fixation target until the lateral plane of the IOL is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the ophthalmic system. The method may also include directing a laser beam generated by a laser of the ophthalmic system at the IOL.

Electroactive lens with raised resistive bridges

An electroactive lens with raised resistive bridges is disclosed. The resistive bridges can connect many ring electrodes in an electroactive lens with a relatively small number of bus lines. These resistors are typically large to prevent excessive current consumption. Typically, they are placed in the same plane as the ring electrodes, which means that the ring electrodes are further apart or made discontinuous to accommodate the resistors. But further separating the ring electrodes or making them discontinuous degrades the optical quality of the lens. Placing the ring electrodes and resistors on layers separated by an insulator allows the ring electrodes to be closer together and continuous and have a high enough resistance to limit current consumption. It also relaxes the constraints on feature size and placement during processing to make the lens. And because the resistors and electrodes are on different planes, they can be formed of materials with different resistivities.

Contact lens tool

The contact lens tool is a device intended to make it easier to insert and remove a contact lens from a person's eye. To accomplish this, the device includes a unique applicator head specifically designed to pick up and hold a contact lens. According to a preferred embodiment, the applicator head can be adjusted to various positions, depending on how the device is used. For inserting or removing a contact lens, the applicator head is most effective when partially open, forming a "Y" shape. This shape allows the applicator head to hold a wide range of contact lenses. Alternatively, the applicator head can be fully opened, forming a "T" shape. When not in use, the applicator head can be folded to a fully closed position, forming an "I" shape. This shape reduces space, allowing the device to be stored in a small compartment such as a wallet or purse.
