US Classification:
606107, 427 228
Abstract:
Apparatus for inserting intraocular lenses (IOLs) into eyes include a hollow tube including a material and having an interior wall defining a hollow space through which an IOL is passed and an outlet through which the IOL is passed from the hollow space into an eye, and a lubricity enhancing component physically secured to said hollow tube and concentrated at or near the interior wall in an amount effective to facilitate the passage of the IOL through the hollow space.

Abstract:
An intraocular lens (IOL) insertion system for implanting IOLs into the eye. The insertion system includes an insertion cartridge that receives the IOL and cooperates with a handpiece. The cartridge includes a longitudinal lumen from a loading chamber to an open distal mouth that gradually narrows in dimension so as to fold the IOL into a tube for insertion through an incision in the eye. A distal tip member of a plunger rod in the handpiece enters the loading chamber of the cartridge and urges the IOL therethrough. The distal tip member has a portion that enters the folded IOL and is trapped therein for maximum control of IOL advancement. A soft tip, such as silicone, may cover a longitudinally extending portion of the distal tip to effect the IOL trapping. The distal tip member further has a portion that engages and pushes the IOL optic. The pusher portion not only ensures positive advancement of the IOL, but also limits the extent to which the distal tip member becomes trapped inside the folded IOL, thus preventing potential damage thereto.
Intraocular Lenses Made From Polymeric Compositions And Monomers Useful In Said Compositions

Assignee:
Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. - Santa Ana CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/14
US Classification:
623 516, 623 656
Abstract:
Ophthalmic lenses, such as intraocular lenses, include crosslinked polymeric materials having a first constituent derived from a first monomeric component selected from the group consisting of 2-phenylpropyl acrylate or methacrylate and mixtures thereof, and a second constituent derived from a second component in an amount effective as a crosslinker in the crosslinked polymeric material. The crosslinked polymeric material has branched chain alkyl groups, in an amount effective to reduce the tackiness of the crosslinked polymeric material relative to a substantially identical crosslinked polymeric material without branched chain alkyl groups.

US Classification:
526245, 526242, 623 41, 623 611, 623 637
Abstract:
Biocompatible polymers useful for making anterior chamber intraocular lenses (AC-IOL) are provided. The biocompatible polymers are generally composed of one or more acrylate monomers, crosslinked with at least one diacrylate ester and may include one or more additional components such as ultraviolet light and/or blue-violet light absorbing dyes. The AC-IOLs made using the biocompatible polymers disclosed herein are suitable for placement in phakic or aphakic eyes and are intended for refractive correction including myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia and astigmatisms.

Abbott Medical Optics Inc. - Santa Ana CA
International Classification:
B29D 11/00
US Classification:
264 17, 264 27
Abstract:
An intraocular lens includes an optic adapted to focus light toward a retina of an eye, and at least one fixation member configured to at least assist in supporting the optic in the eye. The fixation member includes a proximal portion coupled to the optic and a distal portion configured to be in contact with eye tissue when the intraocular lens is in use in the eye. The proximal portion of the fixation member includes at least one first area formed of a first, substantially rigid material, and at least one second area formed of a second material which is more flexible than the first material.
Iol Insertion Apparatus And Methods For Making And Using Same
Apparatus, and methods of making and using apparatus, for inserting intraocular lenses (IOLs) are disclosed. The apparatus includes a hollow tube having an interior wall defining a hollow space through which an intraocular lens may be passed from the open space into an eye. A lubricity enhancing component is covalently bonded to the hollow tube at the interior wall in an amount effective to facilitate the passage of the intraocular lens through the hollow space. The lubricity enhancing component includes a substituent component effective to reduce hydrolysis of said lubricity enhancing component relative to an identical lubricity enhancing component without the substituent component.
