Circular and annular lens zones are disclosed which, at a given lens area, exhibit a depth of focus of a lens of considerably smaller area. The large depth of focus is achieved by imparting the lens zones a refractive power profile. An assembly of such large depth of focus lens zones represents a lens of large diameter which lens, in polychromatic light, exhibits essentially the same depth of focus as the lens zones from which it is composed.

A surgical microscopy system comprises microscopy optics for generating an image of an eye under surgery. A pattern generator generates a pattern to be superimposed with the image. An eye-tracker is provided for tracking a position of the superimposed pattern with respect to the image in case of a movement of the eye. The superimposed pattern comprises pattern elements that are equally distributed on first and second circles of different sizes, in order to give assistance when placing a suture during a corneal transplant. The superimposed pattern may also provide an assistance for orientating a toric intra-ocular lens.

This invention relates to an optical device such as a soft or rigid contact lens, intra ocular lens (IOL), ocular insert, or spectacle lens that improves visual acuity by reducing chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration is reduced by filtering or blocking ultraviolet and high energy blue / violet light below about 455 nm and red and infrared light above about 655 nm. This is accomplished by including in the polymer formulations blue / violet absorbing colorants and ultraviolet light absorbers to filter or block light below about 455 nm; and red absorbing colorants and infrared absorbers to filter or block light above about 655 nm. When these materials are used for wavefront designed lenses, vision better than 20 / 20 is attainable.

The present invention provides methods of treating an eye disorder. The methods comprise a step of locally administering a Clostridial toxin to the eye of a patient to treat the disorder. The eye disorder may be associated with an inflammation of the eye, including for example, bacterial conjunctivitis, fungal conjunctivitis, viral conjunctivitis, uveitis, keratic precipitates, macular edema, and inflammation response after intra-ocular lens implantation. The Clostridial toxin may be produced by a Clostridial beratti, a Clostridia butyricum, a Clostridial tetani bacterium and / or a Clostridial botulinum.

An implantable, compressible, accommodating intra-ocular lens (IOL) coupled to at least one sensor which detects a signal created by the ciliary muscle. A ciliary sulcus ring can house the at least one sensor, and the sensor can include miniaturized electrodes (ciliary muscle probes) for implanting into the ciliary muscle of the subject. A potentiometer / microcomputer can modulate the ciliary muscle signal detected by the sensor(s) into an electrical signal, and a transmitter sends this electrical signal to a micromotor, which causes compression of the IOL via an annular support ring system, causing a change in the IOL shape. The IOL can be part of an IOL complex including a compressible, accommodating IOL, an external lens membrane, and an annular support ring system. The annular support ring system provides a foundation for the micromotor to compress the IOL.

A system and method for performing an ocular surgical procedure is provided. The design provides an intra-ocular lens (IOL) to an eye through an incision in the eye by assessing IOL insertion conditions, translating said IOL insertion conditions into a desired force range for insertion of the IOL via the incision, controlling a power source to move the IOL to the eye, monitoring conditions, such as force encountered, while controlling the power source. The design employs feedback of the force encountered and selectively alters force applied based on force encountered.
