| 20080243138 | INSERTION SYSTEM FOR CORNEAL IMPLANTS - Provided therein are apparatuses, systems and methods for storing and retrieving a corneal implant and for delivering the corneal implant in or on the cornea. In an embodiment, a insertion system comprises an inserter for delivering a corneal implant to a desired location in or on the cornea. The inserter has a holding space at its distal end for holding a corneal implant therein. A solution may substantially fill the holding space with the corneal implant to keep the implant hydrated and to hold the implant in the holding space by the surface tension of the solution. The corneal implant may be preloaded in the holding space of the inserter and stored in a storage container filled with storage fluid, e.g., saline, until use. To deliver the corneal implant, the inserter is positioned at the desired location, and the corneal implant released from the holding space of the inserter. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20110218623 | Small Diameter Inlays - Small diameter corneal inlays adapted to change the corneal surface curvature to provide central near vision and peripheral distance vision. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20120046680 | Methods and Devices for Forming Corneal Channels - Instruments for creating a corneal channel and methods of use. | 02-23-2012 |

| 20130253527 | Corneal Implant Inserters and Methods of Use - Devices that are adapted to insert corneal implants onto corneal tissue. Methods of using the devices include inserting the corneal implant into a pocket created in the cornea. Methods of use also include inserting the corneal implant onto corneal tissue after a flap has been created in the cornea. The devices can be adapted to deliver fluid to an implant holding space to at least assist in the deployment of the implant from the holding space and onto corneal tissue. | 09-26-2013 |
