Composition And Methods For The Prevention And Treatment Of Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, And Diabetic Macular Edema
US Patent:
2013004, Feb 21, 2013
Filed:
Dec 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/512972
Inventors:
Dale P. Devore - Chelmsford MA, US
Bruce H. Dewoolfson - Vienna VA, US
Vance Thompson - Sioux Falls SD, US
Bruce H. Dewoolfson - Vienna VA, US
Vance Thompson - Sioux Falls SD, US
International Classification:
A61K 38/17, A61P 27/02
US Classification:
514 208
Abstract:
Methods of stabilizing and organizing collagen fibrils in extracellular matrix of retinal tissues, particularly Bruch's membranes, and stabilizing retinal pigment epithelial layers lining Bruch's membrane are disclosed. The stabilization and organization may be effected by treating retinal tissues with a protein that crosslinks and organizes collagen fibrils, such as decorin. The stabilization and organization methods include treatment of retinal tissues before, during, or after diagnosis of dry macular degeneration, diagnosis of early stages of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema to prevent, retard, or limit progression of disorganization of Bruch's membrane and disorganization of retinal pigment epithelial cells lining Bruch's membrane.
Systems And Methods For Reshaping An Eye Feature
US Patent:
2012030, Nov 29, 2012
Filed:
May 24, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/480127
Inventors:
David Muller - Boston MA, US
Vance Thompson - Sioux Falls SD, US
Vance Thompson - Sioux Falls SD, US
Assignee:
Avedro, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
A61F 9/01, A61F 9/007
US Classification:
606 5, 606166
Abstract:
Systems and methods include a cutting instrument that creates incisions in selected areas of the cornea; an eye therapy system that applies reshaping forces to the cornea; and a controller that determines the selected areas of the cornea for the incisions and the reshaping forces from the eye therapy system, such that the reshaping forces and the incisions combine to achieve corrective reshaping of the cornea. Other systems and methods include measuring an eye to determine a required amount of reshaping of a cornea; determining one or more doses of cross-linking agent and one or more corresponding doses of photoactivating light according to the required amount of reshaping; applying the cross-linking agent to the cornea; and delivering, from a light source, the photoactivating light to the area of the eye, the photoactivating light combining with the cross-linking agent to induce the corrective reshaping of the cornea.
System And Method For Positioning An Eye Therapy Device
US Patent:
2009018, Jul 23, 2009
Filed:
Jan 23, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/018450
Inventors:
David Muller - Boston MA, US
Vance Thompson - Sioux Falls SD, US
Vance Thompson - Sioux Falls SD, US
International Classification:
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606 33, 606 41
Abstract:
A system for aligning an eye therapy instrument over a selected area or feature of an eye provides an attachment element that is removably attached to a surface of an eye. A receiving element is coupled to the attachment element and movable relative to the attachment element. The receiving element includes a coupling element configured to operably couple an eye therapy instrument to the receiving element and adjustably move the eye therapy instrument into a selected position with respect to the attachment element. The system makes adjustments to ensure accurate delivery of treatment from the eye therapy device to areas of the eye. In one embodiment, the receiving element allows lateral adjustments to be made along one or more axes. Additionally or alternatively, the receiving element allows angular or rotational adjustments to be made about one or more axes.
Methods For Stabilizing Corneal Tissue
US Patent:
2009010, Apr 23, 2009
Filed:
Oct 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/285683

Dale DeVore - Chelmsford MA, US
International Classification:
A61K 38/16
US Classification:
514 8
Abstract:
Methods of stabilizing collagen fibrils in a cornea are disclosed. The stabilization may be effected by treating the cornea with a protein that crosslinks collagen fibrils, such as decorin. The stablization methods include treatment of corneas before, during, or after a surgical procedure, treatment of keratectasia, and treatment of keratoconus.
