摘要:
The invention relates to devices and methods for selecting IOLs for implantation and eye models useful with the methods. One method comprises the steps of determining the axial eye length, the pupil size at a desired light level; the desired postoperative refraction; determining an aspheric representation of the corneal curvature and determining the location of the plane of fixation of the IOL following implantation.

A system for providing an intraocular lens includes a processor and a computer readable memory. The computer readable memory is configured to communicate with the processor, the memory having stored therein at least one of: one or more ocular dimensions, and at least one predetermined refractive outcome. The memory further includes a sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to select an intraocular lens, select a power of an intraocular lens, or provide an intraocular lens. The sequence of instructions includes determining one or more dimensions of an eye. The instructions also include calculating, based on a mathematical relationship, a distance from an apex of a cornea of the eye to an apex or plane of the intraocular lens after insertion into the eye. The instructions further calculating an optical power of the intraocular lens suitable for providing a predetermined refractive outcome. The mathematical relationship includes an axial length of the eye, an anterior chamber depth of the natural crystalline lens, and a corneal radius of the eye, but is independent of a thickness of the natural crystalline lens.

摘要:
The present invention relates to amphiphilic block copolymers comprising at least one block of hydrophilic units and at least one block of hydrophobic units, wherein at least one hydrophobic block contains siloxane units. The present invention may be particularly useful as a tissue adhesive or as a coating for an intraocular lens (IOL). As an IOL coating, copolymers according to the invention may be used, for example, to promote tissue adhesion for the prevention of posterior capsule opacification.
