| 20100228261 | DISPOSABLE INTRAOCULAR LENS INSERTION SYSTEM - An intraocular lens injection system comprising an injecting device and cartridge. The cartridge comprises a lens holding portion and an outer sleeve portion. The invention includes a method of pre-loading the injecting system, particularly the cartridge, to reduce the amount of packaging, prevent damage to the intraocular lens during packaging and shipping, allow the pre-loaded injecting cartridge to be autoclaved as a unit, and eliminate the step of loading the cartridge with the intraocular lens by the end user to prevent potential damage during this step. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20090292354 | OPTIMIZED INTRAOCULAR LENS - An optimized aspheric lens has improved optics when implanted into a patient having a curved retina. Light entering the optimized aspheric lens on-axis or at an angle to the optical axis is properly focused by the lens, reducing aberrations and producing a much smaller spot size of light on the retina. A method of selecting the optimized values for variables of the lens design, such as base radii of the front and back surface of the lens, conic constants of the front and back surfaces, and/or center thickness of the lens, among other possible parameters is provided. The method includes calculating changes in a merit function while changing the various values for the variables and selecting an optimized merit function. | 11-26-2009 |
