20090112313 | Lubricious intraocular lens insertion device - This invention relates to a method of making an intraocular lens insertion device comprising a lubricious insertion tip assembly and to the device itself. | 04-30-2009 |
20090264998 | INTERFACIAL REFRACTION ACCOMMODATING LENS (IRAL) - This invention relates to intraocular lenses. More particularly, this invention relates to intraocular lenses that have the ability to alter the light refractive power in response to changes in the tension of the ciliary muscle or ciliary body of the eye or any other accommodative forces. Lenses of this invention are generally referred to as interfacial, i.e., lens properties being defined as the interface of two liquids having different refractive indices, refractive accommodating lenses (IRAL). | 10-22-2009 |
20100261858 | NANOHYBRID POLYMERS FOR OPHTHALMIC APPLICATIONS - The present invention relates to novel materials particularly useful for ophthalmic applications and methods for making and using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to relatively soft, optically transparent, foldable, high refractive index materials particularly suited for use in the production of intraocular lenses, contact lenses, and other ocular implants and to methods for manufacturing and using the same. | 10-14-2010 |
20110071629 | ULTRA VIOLET, VIOLET, AND BLUE LIGHT FILTERING POLYMERS FOR OPHTHALMIC APPLICATIONS - Opthalmic devices, particularly intraocular lenses (IOL), with improved contrast sensitivity and methods of making same. In one aspect, blue light blocking chromophores (BLBC) are diffused into, e.g. an IOL lens body to create a BLBC gradient in the lens. Orange dyes are preferred BLBCs. | 03-24-2011 |

20120196951 | METHOD OF MAKING OPHTHALMIC DEVICES AND COMPONENTS THEREOF FROM HYDROPHOBIC ACRYLIC (HA) POLYMERS WITH REDUCED OR ELIMINATED GLISTENINGS - This invention relates to the fields of polymer chemistry, materials science and ophthalmology. More particularly it relates to optical components and method(s) of preparing same from hydrophobic acrylic (HA) monomer(s) that exhibit reduced or eliminated glistenings when implanted in a patient's eye. The method of this invention uses a mixture of one or more low temperature initiators (LTI) combined with one or more high temperature initiators (HTI), to polymerize one or more HA monomers to produce an optical HA polymer which, when used to manufacture an optical component and implanted as with an intraocular lens (IOL), exhibit reduced glistenings to the patient. | 08-02-2012 |
