Biochemical Contact Lens For Treating Photoablated Corneal Tissue

US Patent:
5932205, Aug 3, 1999
Filed:
Jul 24, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/899783
Inventors:
Ming X. Wang - Nashville TN
Christopher P. Adams - Winter Hill MA
International Classification:
A61K 3174, A61K 4730
US Classification:
424 7804
Abstract:
Methods for treating photoablated corneal tissue are described. The methods include contacting photoablated corneal tissue with a contact lens which includes an amniotic composition such that scarring of the photoablated corneal tissue is reduced. Methods for conditioning a contact lens for treatment of photoablated corneal tissue are also described. The methods include contacting the contact lens with an amniotic composition whereby the amniotic composition is deposited in or on the surface of said contact lens. Additionally, contact lens packages for treatment of photoablated corneal tissue are described. The contact lens package includes a container holding a contact lens which includes an amniotic composition and instructions for using the contact lens for treatment of photoablated corneal tissue.

Adaptive Infrared Retinoscopic Device For Detecting Ocular Aberrations

US Patent:
2010020, Aug 12, 2010
Filed:
Apr 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/762643
Inventors:
James Waller Lambuth Lewis - Tullahoma TN, US
Ming Wang - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:
A61B 3/103, A61B 3/14
US Classification:
351206, 351246
Abstract:
An ocular system for detecting ocular abnormalities and conditions creates photorefractive digital images of a patient's retinal reflex. The system includes a computer control system, a two-dimensional array of infrared irradiation sources and a digital infrared image sensor. The amount of light provided by the array of irradiation sources is adjusted by the computer so that ocular signals from the image sensor are within a targeted range. Enhanced, adaptive, photorefraction is used to observe and measure the optical effects of Keratoconus. Multiple near-infrared (NIR) sources are preferably used with the photorefractive configuration to quantitatively characterize the aberrations of the eye. The infrared light is invisible to a patient and makes the procedure more comfortable than current ocular examinations.

Digital Eye Bank For Virtual Clinic Trials

US Patent:
7607776, Oct 27, 2009
Filed:
Oct 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/585522
Inventors:
James Waller Lambuth Lewis - Tullahoma TN, US
Ming Wang - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:
A61B 3/14, A61B 3/10
US Classification:
351206, 351212
Abstract:
A digital eye data bank contains digital eye information concerning a plurality of different eyes in the form of schematic eve models. Each model contains a quantitative and qualitative description of the optical performance of a human eye that can be used to simulate the eye's optical performance. Each schematic eye model is associated with at least one of an age, race, gender, geographic residence, or medical diagnosis of a group of individuals. The digital eye data bank also contains personal information such as body height, weight, education background, and physical, chemical, and mental status that may correspond to an eye condition associated with the eye model. The digital eye data bank is used to evaluate the performance of ocular instruments through computer simulation and predict a measurement outcome among a population of subjects.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy For Treatment Of Corneal Disorders And Injuries

US Patent:
2002003, Mar 21, 2002
Filed:
May 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/853078
Inventors:
Ming Wang - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:
A61N001/00, A61B018/18, A61B019/00
US Classification:
606/005000, 607/089000, 128/898000
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for treating corneal ulcers and other corneal conditions with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs). Specifically, the present invention includes a two part treatment regimen having particular waveforms, intensities, durations, pulse delays, and stepped frequency modulations which maximize the intrinsic healing capacity of cornea.
