20090043007 | OPHTHALMIC LENS MATERIALS CONTAINING CHROMOPHORES THAT ABSORB BOTH UV AND SHORT WAVELENGTH VISIBLE LIGHT - Chromophores that absorb both UV and short wavelength visible light are disclosed. The chromophores are particularly suitable for use in intraocular lens materials. | 02-12-2009 |
20090043105 | OPHTHALMIC LENS MATERIALS CONTAINING CHROMOPHORES THAT ABSORB BOTH UV AND SHORT WAVELENGTH VISIBLE LIGHT - Chromophores that absorb both UV and short wavelength visible light are disclosed. The chromophores are particularly suitable for use in intraocular lens materials. | 02-12-2009 |
20090132039 | LOW-TACK OPHTHALMIC AND OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGICAL DEVICE MATERIALS - Disclosed are soft, high refractive index, acrylic materials. These materials, especially useful as intraocular lens materials, contain one or more aryl acrylic hydrophobic monomers as principal device-forming monomers and a tack-reducing macromer additive. In addition to their use as intraocular lens materials, the present materials are also suitable for use in other ophthalmic or otorhinolaryngological devices, such as contact lenses, keratoprostheses, corneal inlays or rings; otological ventilation tubes and nasal implants. | 05-21-2009 |

These materials, especially useful as intraocular lens materials, contain one or more aryl acrylic hydrophobic monomers as principal device-forming monomers and a tack-reducing macromer additive. In addition to their use as intraocular lens materials, the present materials are also suitable for use in other ophthalmic or otorhinolaryngological devices, such as contact lenses, keratoprostheses, corneal inlays or rings; otological ventilation tubes and nasal implants. | 05-28-2009 |
20110245818 | ADJUSTABLE CHROMOPHORE COMPOUNDS AND MATERIALS INCORPORATING SUCH COMPOUNDS - The present invention is directed to adjustable chromophore compounds and materials (e.g., ophthalmic lens materials) incorporating those compounds. The adjustable chromophore compounds include a chemical moiety that structurally changes upon exposure to predetermined electromagnetic radiation (e.g., two photon radiation) as well as lens materials, particularly intraocular lens materials that incorporate those compounds. | 10-06-2011 |
20130030079 | HIGH REFRACTIVE INDEX OPHTHALMIC DEVICE MATERIALS WITH REDUCED TACK - High refractive index copolymers with reduced tack are disclosed. The copolymers, which are particularly suitable for use as ophthalmic device materials, comprise a benzhydryl methacrylate or benzydryl methacrylate derivative monomer. | 01-31-2013 |
20140180405 | CURVATURE CHANGING ACCOMMODATIVE INTRAOCULAR LENS - A curvature changing accommodative intraocular lens is provided in which the anterior surface of the intraocular lens undergoes dynamic change in curvature to focus light from distant objects to those nearby. The lens utilizes fluid movement from bladders defined as junctions between haptic elements and lens element or bladders positioned between the haptic elements and lens element periphery to change the curvature. | 06-26-2014 |
20150094393 | METHOD FOR MAKING UV-ABSORBING OPHTHALMIC LENSES - Described herein is a method for producing UV-absorbing silicone hydrogel contact lenses, which is free or substantially free of internal stress and also is capable of blocking ultra-violet (“UV”) radiation and optionally (but preferably) violet radiation with wavelengths from 381 nm to 440 nm, according to a photocuring technology, preferably according to the Lightstream Technology™. This invention also provides UV-absorbing contact lenses made according to a method of the invention. | 04-02-2015 |
