    摘要: Methods and devices for delivering therapeutic or diagnostic energy (e.g., light, ultrasound, ionizing radiation (e.g., x-ray), vibration, heat energy, etc.) into the eye. An energy emitting device is positioned on the eye and used to deliver energy into the eye. The device may be constructed to allow the subject's eyelids to open and close while the device is positioned on the eye. The device is useable for various energy based or energy-mediated therapies, including crosslinking of corneal collagen, light therapy, photodynamic therapy, photo-activation of drugs, etc.

    摘要: A system, apparatus and method for harvesting from the eye of a mammilian (e.g., cadaveric) donor a disc-shaped graft or lenticle consisting of corneal tissue and a quantity of scleral or pericorneal tissue wherein limbal stem cells are located. This graft or lenticle is then transplanted onto the eye of a human or veterinary patient to treat a disorder caused by the absence or deficiency of limbal stem cells in the patient's eye. The system of the present invention comprises a) an eye-contacting ring and cutter guide apparatus and b) a cutter apparatus. The eye-contacting ring and cutter guide apparatus is initially placed in contact with the donor eye such that a portion of the cornea and adjacent scleral or pericorneal tissue containing limbal stem cells protrudes upwardly through the center of the ring. The cutter is then engaged with guide member(s) formed on the ring and the cutter is advanced, severing the protruding cornea and stem-cell-containing pericorneal tissue. In this manner the desired lenticle is obtained for subsequent transplantation.

    摘要: The invention relates to bis-protein-DNA conjugates. A protein having a specific ligand binding activity is covalently linked to each end of a derivatized DNA molecule. These bis-protein-DNA conjugates can be used for immunoassays, PCR assays and measuring distances between proteins at up to 3.4 A resolution. The invention also relates to methods of synthesizing these bis-protein-DNA conjugates. Synthesis of the conjugates entails derivatizing the 5' or 3' end of a DNA oligonucleotide and covalently linking that DNA to a protein. The DNA can be conjugated to the proteins, including antibodies or Fab' fragments, using disulfide bond linkage.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for measuring pressure and/or for quantitative or qualitative measurement of analytes within the eye or elsewhere in the body. Optical pressure sensors and/or optical analyte sensors are implanted in the body and light is cast from an extracorporeal light source, though the cornea, conjunctiva or dermis, and onto a reflective element located within each pressure sensor or analyte sensor. The position or configuration of each sensor's reflective element varies with pressure or analyte concentration. Thus, the reflectance spectra of light reflected by the sensors' reflective elements will vary with changes in pressure or changes in analyte concentration. A spectrometer or other suitable instrument is used to process and analyze the reflectance spectra of the reflected light, thereby obtaining an indication of pressure or analyte concentration adjacent to the sensor(s). The wavelength of the interrogating beam of light may vary to control out potential interference or inaccuracies in the system.
