Problems solved by technology

There are several problems with epikeratophakia: 1) the lens remains cloudy until the parental stromal fibroblasts colonize the lens, which can take several months; 2) until the engrafted epithelium is able to The severed epithelium remains the focus of infection until the incised site grows onto the surface of the lens; and 3) the epithelium that heals onto the surgical site

Embodiment Construction

[0037] FIG. 1A shows a perspective view of a stabilizing device modification 100 comprising a base 102 and a vacuum forming member 104 . The base itself includes tubes (or tubing) 104 that communicate to a vacuum source. The vacuum tube 104 can be used as a handle and it is typically provided with a vacuum break hole 106 so that the user can manipulate or interrupt the vacuum to the stabilization device when removal is desired. Base portion 102 has an opening 108 through which the cornea of ​​the human eye protrudes after the stabilization device is fully positioned on the eye. As can be seen more clearly in subsequent figures, base 102 has an inner radial surface (or inner diameter surface) 110 and an outer radial surface 112, wherein the inner radial surface is configured to The outer diameter surface is also in contact with the eye and provides a seal for vacuum. The stabilization device may be an automatic device, for example, the vacuum may be automatically controlled. ...

Abstract

Described here is a surgical device that typically is used to releasably hold the cornea of a human eye (and hence that eye) in such a way as to modestly deform the cornea and the eye, to maintain the eye's position for procedures upon the epithilial layer of the cornea, and to allow ease of replacement of an epithilial flap should one be produced. It may be used in combination with an epithilial delaminating tool, or an ocular device inserting tool. The stabilization device permits ready access to and creation of flaps or pockets of epithelium for later introduction of correcting lenses (e.g. using an ocular device insertion tool) or subtractive procedures such as LASIK or LASEK, prior to replacement of epithelium over the corrective lens or over the site of laser induced or surgically-induced corrective procedure.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a surgical device typically used to releasably retain the cornea of ​​a human eye (and thus the eye) by moderately deforming the cornea and eye in order to correct the upper The cortex is operated on to keep the eye in place and, if an epithelial flap is created, the flap can be easily repositioned. This surgical device may be used in conjunction with an epithelial delamination tool or a vision device insertion tool. This stabilizing device allows easy access and creation of flaps or pockets of epithelium prior to repositioning of the epithelium on corrective lenses or at the site of laser-induced or surgically-induced corrective procedures for later introduction of corrective Lenses (eg, using a vision device insertion tool) or subtractive procedures, such as LASIK or LASEK. Background technique [0002] Refractive surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures that alter the original optical power or focusing abil...
