摘要: A stimulation system stimulates anatomical targets in a patient for treatment of dry eye. The system may include a controller and a microstimulator. The controller may be implemented externally to or internally within the microstimulator. The components of the controller and microstimulator may be implemented in a single unit or in separate devices. When implemented separately, the controller and microstimulator may communicate wirelessly or via a wired connection. The microstimulator may generate pulses from a controller signal and apply the signal via one or more electrodes to an anatomical target. The microstimulator may not have any intelligence or logic to shape or modify a signal. The microstimulator may be a passive device configured to generate a pulse based on a signal received from the controller. The microstimulator may shape or modify a signal. Waveforms having different frequency, amplitude and period characteristics may stimulate different anatomical targets in a patient.

摘要翻译: 刺激系统刺激患者的解剖目标以治疗干眼症。 该系统可以包括控制器和微型激励器。 控制器可以在微型激励器外部或内部实现。 控制器和微型激励器的组件可以在单个单元中或在单独的设备中实现。 当单独实现时,控制器和微型激励器可以无线地或经由有线连接进行通信。 微型激励器可以从控制器信号产生脉冲,并通过一个或多个电极将信号施加到解剖靶。 微型激励器可能没有任何智能或逻辑来塑造或修改信号。 微型激励器可以是被配置为基于从控制器接收的信号产生脉冲的无源器件。 微型激励器可以形成或修改信号。 具有不同频率,幅度和周期特征的波形可以刺激患者中不同的解剖目标。

摘要: Embodiments of the technology relate to a contact lens having a core that is coated by a hydrogel layer, and to methods of making such a lens. The coated lens can include a rigid gas permeable contact lens. The coated lens can also include a hybrid silicone and rigid gas permeable contact lens. In one aspect, embodiments provide for a coated contact lens comprising a lens core with a water equilibrium constant of less than about 2% comprising an outer surface; and a hydrogel layer covalently attached to at least a portion of the outer surface, the hydrogel layer adapted to contact an ophthalmic surface, wherein the hydrogel layer comprises a hydrophilic polymer population of one or more species.
