5 results about "Mammalian eye" patented technology

Methods and devices for an oxygen permeable liquid crystal contact lens are disclosed herein. An oxygen permeable liquid crystal contact lens may include a coating. The coating may be made of one or more layers of an oxygen non-permeable material. The coating may be modified to allow oxygen to permeate though the liquid crystal contact lens to a mammalian eye.

The present invention contemplates a topical ophthalmic system for treating a Gram-positive bacterially-infected mammalian eye. The system comprises an ophthalmic composition containing a halogenated fluorescein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous ophthalmic carrier and present in an anti-bacterial keratitis-treating effective concentration of about 0.2 μg / mL to about 50 μg / mL. The ophthalmic composition has a pH value of about 6.5 to about 7.6, a viscosity of about 10 to about 300 cps and an osmolality of about 270 mOsm / kg to about 340 mOsm / kg. The ophthalmic composition is present in a vessel opaque to actinic light. Also contemplated is a method of treating a mammal having a Gram-positive bacterial infection of an eye by administering the ophthalmic composition to the infected eye and maintaining the treated eye in the substantial absence of actinic light for about 3 hours to about 12 hours.

An aqueous humor outflow device comprises an arcuate scaffold that extends continuously in a circumferential direction from a first end to a second end of the aqueous humor outflow device and has a cross-sectional area that allows the arcuate scaffold to fit within a conventional aqueous humor outflow pathway of a mammalian eye. The arcuate scaffold comprises a docking station or a port within which to retain an implant device, such as a drug eluting device or a drug delivery device.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating diseases of the mammalian eye, and in particular, complications of the retina associated with Usher syndrome 1B (USH1B). Further disclosed are compositions and methods for treating diseases of the mammalian inner ear, and in particular, complications of ear hair cells associated with Usher syndrome 1B (USH1B). The disclosure provides improved AAV-based, dual vector systems that facilitate the expression of full-length proteins whose coding sequences exceed that of the polynucleotide packaging capacity of an individual AAV vector. Described herein are modified hybrid dual vector systems that shift the coding sequence for the MYO7A tail domain from the front-half vector to the back-half vector by altering the split point (e.g., from between exons 23 and 24, to between exons 21 and 22), in order to eliminate the production of truncated MYO7A protein. Further described herein are improved, codon-modified hybrid and overlap vector systems in which putative stop codons and residual sequences in non-coding sequences are removed.

Disclosed are peptides having specific affinity to exfoliation syndrome (XFS) deposits in a mammalian eye, and magnetic particle-peptide conjugates. Also disclosed are methods and uses of such magnetic particle-peptide conjugates to displace and remove XFS deposits, to prevent or treat XFS or exfoliation glaucoma (XFG).
