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.

Ophthalmic surgical instrument & surgical methods
Surgical instruments and their methods of use enable a surgeon to form a precut lamellar disk that is removed by the same through a single incision along the perimeter of the cornea. This may be done using one this one instrument. Another instrument enables the surgeon to scrap off adhering parts. One more instrument enables the surgeon to hold a folded cornea donor disk to avoid inverting the disk upon unfolding. Yet another instrument enables the surgeon to “iron out” wrinkles in the implanted donor cornea.

System and method for descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) surgery
The system for donor cornea implantation includes a preparation base having a well for receiving a posterior lamellar donor corneal lenticule, a cartridge disengageably mounted on the base adjacent the well, and a handle for disengageable attachment to a posterior end portion of the cartridge. In drawing the donor lenticule from the well into and through a bore or chamber of the cartridge, from the posterior end, the lenticule is caused to assume a double coil configuration. After attachment of the handle, removal of the assembly from the preparation base, and insertion of blade and adjacent body portions of the cartridge through an incision in the cornea, the coiled donor lenticule is pulled from the cartridge bore through its forward end, to uncoil automatically within the anterior chamber of the recipient's eye.

InactiveUS20050213037A1Improve abilitiesImprove accuracyEye implantsOptically investigating flaws/contaminationDigital videoEntire cornea
This invention comprises an improvement on the examination and evaluation of donor corneas. The improved apparatus includes the incorporation of a diffused light source, or sources, which are placed posteriorly to a donor cornea, with a viewing means placed anteriorly to said cornea. The apparatus involves the addition of the diffused light sources to existing apparatus, as well as the possible incorporation of a digital video camera or other electronic viewing means, which was not usable under the prior art. The method of placement of the diffused light source or sources is also novel, as compared with the prior art. Using this apparatus and method, the diffused light passes through the cornea, and is received by the viewing means. The viewing means is able to capture and image of the cornea, where the diffused light denotes any imperfections to the cornea. Use of the diffused light allows a complete view of the entire cornea at one time. The view of the cornea may be captured using a digital video camera or other means, with the image capable of being transmitted to another viewer, or where the entire examination can be done using a high resolution monitor.

An intracorneal ring made of a polymer compatible with corneal metabolism such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in cooperation with a corneal graft for adjusting the topography and increasing the thickness of cornea. The ring is a full circle with two spherical or aspherical side surfaces defining its thickness, and an inner and an outer rim defining its width. A plurality of holes distributed around the ring pass through the thickness. A donor corneal graft sutured to the ring via the holes and stretched flat by the suture, fills the inside of the ring. The integrated ring, graft, and suture called as ring graft is inserted in the cornea stroma using superior scleral tunnel incision to correct the shape of the cornea and improve visual acuity. The ring supports the graft circumferentially and promotes its bonding with stroma. The supported graft reshapes and regenerates the cornea. The invention is applicable to treating mild to severe keratoconus, ectasia and other cornea disorders. The ring graft also increases the thickness and strength of cornea, which additionally slows down the progress of keratoconus. There is post operation potential for further visual acuity improvement with refractive correction procedures such as customized PRK. The ring has an outer rim diameter of nearly the normal diameter of cornea and acts as an auxiliary limbus providing additional support to the cornea.
