An optical scanning device including a bundle of optical fibers adapted for delivering optical energy beams therethrough, and an actuator coupled to the bundle of optical fibers adapted to bend the bundle of optical fibers in a scanning motion.

Optical scanning device

A method for imaging a region in a scattering medium, comprising modulating a beam of energy passing through a region of a scattering medium by at least two ultrasonic energy waves having different spatial relationships with said beam of energy so as to form at least two different modulated energy patterns, and detecting and processing said modulated energy patterns to form an image of said region.

A stent assembly comprises a stent sheath that includes distally and proximally removable portions separable from one another by manipulation of first and second guidewires, a contracted stent having a side aperture disposed in the stent sheath and a third guidewire extending between the removable portions and through the side aperture of the stent.

Stent assembly

Apparatus including an intraocular ring comprising a circumferential wall, the ring being adapted to receive therein an intraocular lens (IOL) implant, and the wall being formed with at least one aperture for passing therethrough a haptic of the IOL implant. A dialing member may extend from a portion of the ring, adapted for grasping and turning the ring about a central axis thereof.

Intraocular ring

A stent assembly including an upstream portion adapted to modify a flow characteristic of embolic material disposed in a blood stream flowing through the upstream portion, and a downstream portion in fluid communication with the upstream portion and adapted for the blood stream to flow therethrough, the downstream portion including a trapping region for trapping therein the embolic material. The downstream portion may extend from the upstream portion, or alternatively, may be distanced from the upstream portion.

A stent for implanting in the body to hold open a blood vessel includes cells with facing loops and the curved flexible links disposed and adapted to cooperate so that, when unexpended, the stent can flex as it is moved through curved blood vessels to a site where it is to be expanded and so that, when the stent is expanded in a curved vessel, at that site, as compared to each other, cells on the outside of the curve are open in length, but narrow in width as compared to cells on the inside of the curve which are short in length but increased in width to result in a more constant stent cell area between the inside and the outside of the curve than would otherwise occur causing the stent, when coated with a medicine, to apply a more even dose to the inside wall of the lumen, avoiding the possibility that a toxic dose is supplied at one area while a less than effective dose is applied to another area.

Flexible expandable stent

An intraocular lens assembly including a lens, a haptic, and a leverage arm connecting the lens to the haptic, wherein the leverage arm is adapted to apply a lever force on the lens acting generally along a chord inwards of a perimeter of the lens.

There is disclosed a stent for implanting in the body. The stent is formed of a tube having a patterned shape which has first and second meander patterns having axes extending in first and second directions. The first meander patterns can be formed into even and odd first meander patterns. The even and odd first meander patterns are 180 out of phase with each other and the odd patterns occur between every two even patterns. The second meander patterns are intertwined with the first meander patterns. The first and second directions can be orthogonal to each other. The second meander patterns can also be formed of even and odd patterns.

Apparatus for measuring intra-ocular pressure of an eye includes a housing and a processor. The housing has a protuberance with a flat surface and the processor includes a distance-measuring unit and a force-measuring unit. Intra-ocular pressure is calculated based on force/distance relationships, where the distance includes a measurement to an internal element of the eye. The processor calculates intra-ocular pressure by determining a zero displacement pressure.

Intraocular pressure measurement

A method of correcting vision defects associated with central field loss. The method is effected by passing light arriving at a retina of an eye through an image deflection ophthalmic optical element including a lens body, the lens body including a lens portion for focusing light entering the eye and a prismatic holographic element being in context with the lens portion, the prismatic holographic element being for deflecting the light entering the eye to off a center of the retina.

An intraocular ring for location in a lens capsule having living cells located within a band of a given width extending about a periphery thereof, the ring being formed of a biologically compatible material and being of a width at least as great as said given width.

The stent is formed of a tube having a patterned shape which has first and second meander patterns having axes extending in first and second directions. The first meander patterns can be formed into even and odd first meander patterns. The even and odd first meander patterns are 180.degree. out of phase with each other and the odd patterns occur between every two even patterns. The second meander patterns are intertwined with the first meander patterns. The first and second directions can be orthogonal to each other. The second meander patterns can also be formed of even and odd patterns.
