32 results about "Aphakia" patented technology

Aphakia is the absence of the lens of the eye, due to surgical removal, such as in cataract surgery, a perforating wound or ulcer, or congenital anomaly. It causes a loss of accommodation, far sightedness (hyperopia), and a deep anterior chamber. Complications include detachment of the vitreous or retina, and glaucoma.

The present invention provides an ophthalmic lens capable of correcting or minimizing presbyopia, or of functioning used as an anti-myopic lens. The ophthalmic lens can be a contact lens, a phakic intraocular lens or an aphakic intraocular lens. The ophthalmic lens comprises an optical zone, the optical zone having a first surface and an opposite second surface and including a coma-like wavefront aberration oriented vertically from the top to the bottom of the ophthalmic lens. In addition, the present invention provides a method for minimizing / correcting presbyopia or for preventing children's eyes from becoming severely myopic.

Determination of the effective lens position of an intraocular lens using aphakic refractive power

An ophthalmic method for determining a relationship between aphakic ocular power and estimated effective lens position (ELP) of an intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted in a patient's eye. The method can be used to determine an estimate of the ELP of an IOL given the aphakic ocular power of the patient's eye, for example, without measurement of the corneal curvature or axial length of the patient's eye. The estimate of ELP can then be used to determine a suitable value of optical power for the IOL to be implanted in the patient's eye.

Method of lifting an epithelial layer and placing a corrective lens beneath it

This relates to a lens made of donor corneal tissue suitable for use as a contact lens or an implanted lens, to a method of preparing that lens, and to a technique of placing the lens on the eye. The lens is made of donor corneal tissue that is acellularized by removing native epithelium and keratocytes. These cells optionally are replaced with human epithelium and keratocytes to form a lens that has a structural anatomy similar to human cornea. The ocular lens may be used to correct conditions such as astigmatism, myopia, aphakia, and presbyopia.

InactiveUS20080086208A1Intraocular lensAphakiaPseudophakia
A foldable low-compression intraocular lens configured for installation into the anterior chamber of a phakic, pseudophakic or aphakic eye, or a combination thereof. The lens is preferably rolled for insertion through a small corneal incision. Preferably, the implant comprises a resiliently flexible haptic body (100) an optical lens (102) and haptics that position the lens within the anterior (103) chamber without excessive compressive forces. The disclosed lens uses refractive or diffractive optics, or a combination of both. One embodiment of the lens (102) contains an optical lens that uses a multi-order diffractive (MOD) structure. An advantage of the disclosed lens is that a single size device will fit any eye, thus the disclosed invention provides a “one-size-fits-all” intraocular lens.

Injectable bag intraocular lens system, inserting device for use therewith, method for inserting an injectable bag intraocular lens within a human eye, methods for treating aphakia and system kits

Featured is an injectable intraocular lens system including an insertion and injection device and an injectable intraocular lens. In its broadest aspects, the injectable intraocular lens is a deflated flexible bag that is disposed within the insertion and injection device prior to insertion into the eye. In use a portion of the insertion and injection device is inserted into the eye and the flexible bag is deployed out from an aperture in the inserted portion into the eye. Following deployment, the insertion and injection device injects an optical medium, such as a liquid, into the interior of the flexible bag, thereby inflating the bag. In an illustrative embodiment, the amount of medium being injected is selected so that the inflated bag provides the desired corrective power to the intraocular lens so formed. Following injection of the medium, the interconnection between the insertion and injection device and the interior of the flexible bag is broken and a seal is formed so as to keep the medium within the flexible bag interior.

Model of accommodative intraocular lens

The invention is directed to a model comprising a diagrammatical and geometric simplification of the components of the natural eye whose functionality is fundamental to the successful performance of a pseudo-aphakic accommodative lens. This model allows for a functional correlation of each component of the ophthalmic device with the patient needs. The eye model was developed to show the movement of the eye from the distance vision to the near vision positions through multiple phases of accommodative motion. The inventive model was developed using a mathematical series of formulas to calculate each of the components of focal accommodation in a human eye, quantify these, and construct the pictorial ramifications of such calculations. The inventive model presents an analysis of accommodative dynamics in the human eye with the natural lens in place. The inventive model also demonstrates the accommodative dynamics with a proprietary IOL in place of the natural lens and situated within the lens capsule.

Ophthalmic devices and methods with application specific integrated circuits

Ophthalmic devices with dynamic electro-active elements offer variable optical power and / or depth of field that restore lost accommodation in individuals suffering from presbyopia or aphakia. An illustrative device senses physiological processes indicative of the accommodative response and actuates a dynamic electro-active element to provide the desired change in optical power and / or depth of field. The illustrative device includes two application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for processing the accommodative response and actuating the electro-active element: a high-voltage ASIC that steps up a low voltage from a power supply to a higher voltage suitable for actuating the electro-active element, and another ASIC that operates at low voltage (and therefore consumes little power) and controls the operating state of the high-voltage ASIC. Because each ASIC operates at the lowest possible voltage, the illustrative ophthalmic device dissipates less power than other ophthalmic devices.
