    摘要: Methods for treating inflammation-mediated conditions of the eye are described, comprising: implanting into the vitreous of the eye of an individual a bioerodible implant comprising a steroidal anti-inflammatory agent and a bioerodible polymer, wherein the implant delivers the agent to the vitreous in an amount sufficient to reach a concentration equivalent to at least about 0.05 μg/ml dexamethasone within about 48 hours and maintains a concentration equivalent to at least about 0.03 μg/ml dexamethasone for at least about three weeks.

    摘要: Implants comprising active agents are employed for introduction into a suprachoroidal space or an avascular region of an eye for therapeutic purposes. The administration of drugs is controlled and maintained for long periods of time, while ensuring the substantial absence of significant levels outside the site of administration.

    摘要: Intraocular administration of drugs such as .alpha.-2a interferon is employed in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. Intraocular administration obviates the side effects associated with systemic administration, concentrates the drug at the site of the disease, and, where microcapsules are employed, provides continuous, long-lasting treatment.

    摘要: A tonometer for measuring the intraocular pressure of an eye featuring an acoustic signaling system for determining the beginning of a pressure measurement. The acoustic system includes a consumable cap having a pair of annular raised surface portions spaced by a recessed area. The raised surface portions provide an eye-engaging surface at the face of the tonometer. A pressure transmitting plunger concentrically suspended between the raised surface portions by a plurality of spider arms combines with the eye-engaging surface to provide a contour which complements a shape of an eye. The recessed area is open along the eye-engaging surface, yet defines a generally enclosed volume when full tonometer-to-eye contact is made. Spaced apart inlet and outlet apertures within the recessed area permit channeling of an acoustic signal to and from the recessed area. Prior to proper coupling of the tonometer to an eye, a substantial amount of the energy of the acoustic signal is lost to free air. However, upon achieving full tonometer-to-eye contact the energy is captured within the recessed ara and channeled to an acoustic receiver when the plunger contacts the eye, constricting the inlet-to-outlet acoustic wave path. Characteristic change of the received signal is marked by a hold signal triggered to initiate an intraocular pressure measurement. Proper coupling may be detected by either monitoring the phase or the change in amplitude at the acoustic wave receiver. Intraocular pressure is measured by means of the plunger which is operatively coupled to a force transducer.
