An ophthalmic composition comprising Indigo Carmine, or Indigo Carmine and Trypan Blue, for identification of intraocular structures and membranes within the eye, and methods of delivering and using the same, for surgical treatments of the eye, including glaucoma and cataract surgery.

Ophthalmic compositions, and ocular uses thereof, of indigo carmine

An intraocular lens configured to reduce or eliminate oblique incident light photic disturbances in the eye, said lens comprising anterior and posterior surfaces defining a central lens optic extending from said anterior to said posterior surfaces and a peripheral portion outside of the central lens optic, wherein the peripheral portion is a prismatic lens which redirects oblique incident light on the peripheral portion forward of the nasal retina in the eye and onto the ciliary body/pars plana region.

Lens design

An intraocular lens is configured to reduce or eliminate oblique incident light photic disturbances in the eye. The lens includes anterior and posterior surfaces defining a central lens optic extending from the anterior to the posterior surfaces and a peripheral portion outside of the central lens optic. The peripheral portion is a prismatic lens that redirects oblique incident light on the peripheral portion forward of the nasal retina in the eye and onto the ciliary body/pars plana region.

Disclosed are devices and methods of treating an ocular disorder including forming a self-sealing incision in a cornea into an anterior chamber of an eye; introducing through the incision a fluid drainage tube having a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal, internal lumen extending through the fluid drainage tube, wherein at least the proximal end passes through the anterior chamber; and implanting the distal end of the fluid drainage tube in fluid communication with the suprachoroidal space such that the proximal end of the fluid drainage tube remains in fluid communication with the anterior chamber.

Ocular pressure regulation

A device for use during an intravitreal injection procedure, the device including: a main body portion with a handle at one end for holding the device; and, a contact portion at the other end for contacting the surface of an eye; wherein the contact portion includes a distance indicator for indicating a pre-determined distance from a reference point on the eye.

Intravitreal injection device and method

A method of maintaining the structure of an opening in the anterior or posterior capsule formed by a capsulorhexis whereby a device is inserted into opening in the anterior or posterior capsule, the device having a main body including a peripheral portion and an opening therethrough, wherein the peripheral portion engages with the inside peripheral edge of the opening in the anterior or posterior capsule, wherein the device is inserted into the opening in the anterior or posterior capsule after an intraocular lens has been inserted into the capsular bag of an eye during cataract corrective surgery.

Method of maintaining the structure of an opening in the anterior or posterior capsule

Intravitreal injection device

Methods for the treatment of ocular lesions, particularly diseases of the surface of the eye, selected from pterygium, pinguecula, ocular dysplasia, ocular neoplastic disorders including malignancy of the limbus and eyelids in humans and animals, neurotrophic keratitis, fibrosis of conjunctival drainage blebs in glaucoma and viral disorders of the eye surface are described. Also described are uses and eyedrop formulations for the treatment of eye surface lesions.

Treatment of ocular lesions

The present invention relates to a device and methods for culturing stem cells, and in particular, for culturing ocular stem cells and the use of stem cells cultured using the devices and methods of the invention for the treatment of diseases.

Stem cell cultivation devices and methods

This invention comprises a flexible ocular device for implantation into the eye formed of a biocompatible elastomeric material, foldable to a diameter of 1.5 mm or less, comprising a fluid drainage tube having at one end a foldable plate adapted to located the device on the inner surface of the sclera in a suprachoroidal space formed by cyclodialyis, said drainage tube opening on to the disc at one end and opening to the anterior chamber when implanted into the eye at its other end, so as to provide aqueous pressure regulation. Also provided are methods for the treatment of glaucoma utilizing the flexible ocular device, and an ocular pressure spike shunt.
