| 20090004636 | MODEL HUMAN EYE - A model human eye is disclosed. The model human eye comprises a extended hemispherical-shaped assembly comprising a center point, an open end defined by a first continuous distal end, a cornea portion symmetrically disposed around the center point, and a sclera portion disposed between the cornea portion and the first continuous distal end. The extended hemispherical-shaped assembly comprises an integral molding. The model human eye further comprises a lenticular bag disposed within the extended hemispherical-shaped assembly. The model human eye further comprises a base comprising a bottom and one or more walls attached to that bottom and extending outwardly therefrom, where the one or more walls comprise a second continuous distal end. The first continuous distal end is attached to the second continuous distal end to define an enclosed space. The lenticular bag separates the enclosed space into an anterior chamber and a posterior chamber. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090004637 | MODEL HUMAN EYE - A model human eye comprising a cylindrical base portion comprising a bowl-shaped substrate disposed therein, and a plurality of retinal layers stacked on the surface of that bowl-shaped substrate. The model eye further comprises a hemi-spherical-shaped top portion comprising a visually transparent cornea portion and a visually opaque sclera portion comprising an inner surface, an annular iris continuously attached to the inner surface and extending inwardly therefrom, and a lenticular bag continuously attached to the iris, wherein the iris in combination with the lenticular bag and the cornea portion define an anterior chamber. The top portion is attached to the base portion to define a posterior chamber. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090219482 | VISION TESTING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A testing device and method are presented for detecting binocular vision problems in patients. The testing device includes a body with a flat portion disposed along one side. Extending outwardly from the top of the body is an actuating means. The device further includes a first set of lights disposed on the surface of the device a first distance away from a center point and a second set of lights disposed a second distance away from the center point. Each of the lights in the first set are smaller than each of the lights in the second set. Further, the second distance is shorter than the first distance. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100188639 | COMPUTERIZED METHOD FOR COLORBLINDNESS TESTING - A computer implemented method to form, display, and evaluate, a test for colorblindness, wherein the method selects one or more test images, displays those test images seriatim to a test subject using a visual display device. A response is received from the test subject to each of the displayed test images. Each response is compared to a nominal test subject response associated with the displayed test image. The type and number of test images displayed is determined based on the test subject's responses. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20110029005 | ANTERIOR CAPSULOTOMY DEVICE AND PROCEDURE - A device for performing an anterior capsulotomy procedure and a method using the same is presented. The device includes a body having a rotatable cutting element rotatably disposed on the proximal end. The cutting element further includes multiple surgical blades. In certain embodiments, the device further includes an arcuate member, wherein two surgical blades are attached at opposing ends and extend outwardly from the arcuate member. In using the device to perform an anterior capsulotomy, the device is inserted into an incision made in an eye and the surgical blades are brought in contact with the anterior capsule wall. The anterior capsule wall is then transformed by rotating the rotatable cutting element, creating an aperture there through. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110069280 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING OCULAR MOTOR FUNCTION - A method and an apparatus are presented for determining ocular motor function in a patient. The patient is instructed to wear a pair of test glasses comprising a first lens having a first color and a second lens having a second color, where the first color and the second color differ. (N) light-emitting devices disposed in a screen are then activated in seriatim, where the (N) light-emitting devices can emit a light comprising the first color and where (N) is greater than 1. (N) images of the screen are synchronously captured upon receiving a signal from the patient indicating an activated light-emitting device is illuminated by a light comprising the second color. Finally, the (N) images are transformed into an ocular motor functioning map. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110199574 | Method and Apparatus for Determining Ocular Motor Function - A method and an apparatus are presented for determining ocular motor function in a patient. The patient is instructed to wear a pair of test glasses comprising a first lens having a first color and a second lens having a second color, where the first color and the second color differ. A light comprising a first color is projected onto a vertical surface, where the location of the light can be moved on the vertical surface. For each value of (i), an (i)th fixation point is then projected on the vertical surface, where the (i)th fixation point is one of (N) total fixation points and comprises the second color. For each value of (i), a perceived location is recorded upon receiving a signal that the (i)th fixation point is illuminated by the light. Finally, the (N) perceived locations are transformed into an ocular motor function map. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20120021397 | Model Human Eye and Face Manikin for Use Therewith - A model human eye that is structurally suited for practicing surgical techniques, including extraocular muscle resection and recession, is presented. The model eye comprises a hemispherical-shaped, bottom assembly having multiple retinal layers and a hemispherical-shaped, integrally molded top assembly having a visually transparent cornea portion surrounding a visually opaque sclera portion. The model eye further comprises an annular iris, a lenticular bag, an anterior chamber having a first fluid disposed therein, and a posterior chamber having a second fluid disposed therein. The model human eye further comprises a cylindrical member extending outwardly from the sclera portion, where the cylindrical member mimics an optic nerve, and a cone-shaped elastomeric assembly attached to a distal end of the cylindrical member and having four elastomeric members extending outwardly, where a distal end of each elastomeric member is attached to the sclera portion, and where each of the elastomeric members mimics a rectus muscle. | 01-26-2012 |
