A device for non-invasive monitoring of an eye position and ocular movements of a patient having: a housing body () having at least one through opening (); a plurality of light sources () housed in said housing body (); a plurality of sensor means () housed in said housing body (); deflector means () for invisible radiation (RL) supplied, in use, by said plurality of light sources () and reflected by said eye (O) under examination; support means () that can be adjusted for said housing body (); at least one program data processing and control unit (). The support means () can be adjusted in such a way that the through opening () of the housing body () can be placed at the eye (O) under examination so that the invisible radiation hits the eye (O) frontally. The program data processing and control unit () is designed to calculate instant-by-instant the position and orientation of a suitable three-dimensional reference system integral with the eye with respect to a predetermined three-dimensional reference system.

Device for monitoring position and movements of an eye, particularly suitable for ocular radiotherapy

A tissue expansion device implanted in a non-activated state over a region of desired tissue growth. Once implanted and positioned the device is activated creating a supporting structure that creates a convex shaped dome over the underlying tissue. The convex shaped dome formed by the tissue expansion device places a tensile stress against the underlying tissue that promotes tissue growth. Alone or with the introduction of tissue enhancing agents and/or adipose tissue, new tissue within the convex shaped void grows until a balance is achieved eliminating the induced stress. Periodically the tissue expansion devices is again activated and enlarged creating an even larger void. Again, the newly enlarged void places additional tensile stress on the underlying tissue thus repeating the cycle of new tissue growth. Once the desired amount of tissue growth has been achieved the device is deactivated and removed.
