A method for stabilizing contact lenses includes providing a lens design with a nominal set of stabilization zone parameters, applying a merit function to the lens design based on balancing moments of momentum, and creating a contact lens design with improved stabilization based on the application of the merit functions to the lens design with a nominal set of stabilization zone parameters.

Method for stabilizing contact lenses

The invention provides punctal plugs for the delivery of active agent to one or both of the tear fluid of the eye and to the nasolacrimal duct that comprise a body, at least one cap, and optionally a collarette.

Punctal plugs for the delivery of active agents

Contact lens designs are provided with improved stabilization wherein the moments of momentum are balanced.

Stabilization of contact lenses

Lenses for correcting presbyopia are translating, multifocal contact lenses with pseudotruncations which are asymmetric about the vertical meridian.

Translating presbyopic contact lens

Translating, multifocal contact lens pairs with optical power zones which are dissimilar between the first and second lenses of the pair are utilized for correcting presbyopia in the wearer. Each lens may differ in segment height, power, asphericity, shape, orientation and/or inset of the optical power subzones thereby providing clear and comfortable vision at far, intermediate and near distances.

Translating presbyopic contact lens pair

Contact lenses have design features to enhance translational properties such as dimples and coating treatments.

Contact lenses with improved movement

The invention provides ophthalmic lenses useful in preventing myopia progression. The lenses of the invention provide substantially constant distance vision power zone in the center of the optic zone surrounded by a zone that provides positive longitudinal spherical aberration.

Ophthalmic lenses for prevention of myopia progression

The invention provides dual stabilization zones that interact with an individual's eyelids so that at least the upper eyelid strikes both stabilization zones of a lens at the same time. The stabilized lenses of the invention maintain their on-eye orientation better as compared to conventionally stabilized lenses.

Rotationally stabilized contact lenses and methods for their design

Methods and devices are provided for providing surgical access into a body cavity. A surgical access port is provided that has an adjustable longitudinal length, such as by being formed from multiple segments configured to move relative to one another. An anchor can be coupled to a distal end of the surgical access port to help secure the surgical access port within a tissue opening by engaging a distal side of the tissue. Optionally, the anchor can be removably coupled to the distal end of the surgical access port, thereby allowing any one of a plurality of anchors to be selectively coupled thereto.
