Embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for securing a drug delivery component to an intraocular lens (IOL) assembly. The systems generally include a support base and a plunger. The support base includes a first portion configured to accommodate a drug delivery component; and a second portion configured to act as a plunger guide. The plunger can be inserted into the plunger guide such that the plunger is positioned to interface with a drug delivery component and an IOL assembly during use. The plunger includes an elongated body and a tip, wherein the tip can include a ramp configured to interface with a fixation loop of a drug delivery component during use and a compartment configured to interface with a haptic of an IOL assembly during use.

Systems to affix devices to intraocular lens assemblies and related methods

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to an intraocular drug delivery system configured for implantation into an eye of a subject. The intraocular drug delivery system can include an intraocular lens (IOL) and a drug delivery component. The IOL includes an anterior side, a posterior side opposite the anterior side, a lens bordered by an edge and a haptic extending outwardly from the edge of the lens at a lens-haptic junction. The haptic includes, at the lens-haptic junction, a relief cut on the posterior side of the IOL. The drug delivery component includes a therapeutic agent and a fixation portion having an opening configured to receive the haptic therethrough. The fixation portion is configured to be secured to the relief cut of the haptic such that outward movement of the drug delivery component relative to the lens is inhibited.

Stabilized intraocular drug delivery systems and methods of use

Embodiments of the instant disclosure relate to intraocular drug delivery devices for and methods of, delivering at least one therapeutic agent to an eye of a subject. Methods include implanting an intraocular implant into the eye and adjacent to a fluid-permeable membrane of the eye of the patient. Intraocular implants are supported in a position at a surface of the fluid-permeable membrane. Intraocular implants include a drug delivery component having at least one therapeutic agent embedded within a non-bioerodible, non-biodegradable polymer matrix. Devices and methods disclosed herein can further include delivering the at least one therapeutic agent to the eye of the subject according to a near zero-order elution rate of the at least one therapeutic agent.

Intraocular drug delivery systems and methods of use

An intraocular drug delivery platform including a ring having an anterior surface and a posterior surface opposite the anterior surface, a central aperture formed by the ring, a first haptic coupled to and extending outwards from the ring, a second haptic coupled to and extending outwards from the ring, a first drug eluting mass operably coupled to the anterior surface of the ring, and a second drug eluting mass operably coupled to the anterior surface of the ring and positioned directly opposite of the first drug eluting mass.

Intraocular drug delivery platform

An ophthalmic implant including an intraocular lens (IOL) and at least one drug delivery device. The IOL including an anterior side, a posterior side, a lens, and at least one haptic extending outwardly from the lens and including a first haptic extending from the lens at a first optic-haptic junction. The at least one drug delivery device including a first drug delivery device including a pad and a fixation portion extending from the pad. The pad including at least one therapeutic agent contained therein, an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and a sidewall extending around the pad and between the anterior surface and the posterior surface. The drug delivery device configured for attachment to the IOL via the fixation portion. In an assembled state of the implant, the first drug delivery device is attached to the IOL and the pad overlays the first optic-haptic junction.

Ophthalmic implant system for drug delivery

An ophthalmic implant including an IOL with haptics, and drug delivery devices secured to the haptics. The posterior-most extent of the drug delivery device is located anterior to the posterior edge or PCE barrier edge, of the IOL. In other configurations, the drug delivery devices are provided with PCO barrier edges.

IOL with drug delivery devices and uninterrupted PCO barrier edge

An intraocular drug delivery platform for use with an intraocular lens assembly. The platform includes a ring and haptics to maintain the ring in position in the capsular bag, compartments on the anterior surface of the ring for accommodating a drug eluting matrix or other drug mass, and a skirt extending posteriorly from the posterior surface of the ring to constrain movement, including lateral or inferior/superior movement, of the intraocular lens relative to the ring.

This disclosure provides ophthalmic implants such as sulcus implants which can comprise one or more drug delivery devices. Further provided herein are methods of using the drug delivery ophthalmic devices described herein for implantation into a subject's eye, e.g., into an eye's ciliary sulcus or capsular bag.

Sulcus implants and methods of using the same

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a stabilized intraocular drug delivery system for implantation into an eye of a subject. The system can include an intraocular lens (IOL) assembly and a drug delivery component. The IOL assembly can include a lens and a haptic. The haptic can include an outer end, an inner end opposite the outer end, a retention tab at the inner end, and a connection tab positioned between the outer end and the inner end and adjoining the lens. The drug delivery component can include at least one therapeutic agent and a fixation portion having an opening to receive the haptic and secure the drug delivery component to the IOL assembly. The fixation portion of the drug delivery component can be secured to the connection tab of the haptic such that the retention tab inhibits movement of the drug delivery component relative to the IOL assembly.

An ophthalmic implant configured for peri-operative, intra-operative, or post-operative assembly and disassembly. Drug delivery devices may be implanted with an intraocular lens, and later removed and replaced with new drug delivery devices.

An ophthalmic implant for drug delivery. The implant includes a primary intracapsular device coupled to a secondary device, wherein, when implanted in a patient's eye, the primary intracapsular device is held in place by the patient's capsular bag and the secondary device is held in place by the primary intracapsular device. The implant may be inserted in the eye by injecting the primary intracapsular device into the eye either before or after attaching the secondary device to the primary intracapsular device, and subsequently positioning the joined secondary device and primary intracapsular device with the primary intracapsular device held in place by the patient's capsular bag and the secondary device held in place by the primary intracapsular device. The secondary device may be designed to hold a tertiary device that can be implanted and attached at the time of surgery or anytime postoperatively.
