摘要:
A container (1) for accommodating an ophthalmic lens during a lens treatment process, has a longitudinal axis (11) and comprises as separate elements a containment element (2), a mounting element (3), and a retaining element (4). The containment element (2) comprises a tubular section (21) and a bottom (22) arranged at a distal end of the tubular section (21), the bottom (22) protruding convexly towards the outside at the distal end of the tubular section (21) and being provided with a number of apertures (23, 24), the tubular section (21) at a proximal end (25) thereof having a latch (26) protruding from the proximal end (25) of the tubular section (21) towards the mounting element (3). The mounting element (3) comprises a sidewall (31) extending along the longitudinal axis (11) of the container (1), the sidewall (31) being provided with recesses or orifices (32) which are in engagement with the latch (26) of the containment element (2). The mounting element (3) further comprises an access opening (37) arranged at a proximal end of the mounting element (3) remote from the containment element (2). The retaining element (4) is fixedly arranged in between the containment element (2) and the mounting element (3), the retaining element (4) being configured to prevent the ophthalmic lens from being washed out of the containment element (2) and to permit access for a gripper through the access opening (37) of the mounting element (3) into the containment element (2) for insertion and removal of the ophthalmic lens.
摘要:
Intraocular lens (IOL) cartridge for storing an intraocular lens (IOL) and enabling safe and convenient removal of same by an extractor tool for subsequent implantation in a human eye. The IOL cartridge includes a generally planar base member and a cover pivotal thereon for manual rotation from an initial closed position to an open position for enabling removal of the IOL. The IOL cartridge is intended for one handed operation to its open position thereby freeing a user's other hand for holding the extractor tool for removing the IOL.
摘要:
Packaging systems for storing ophthalmic devices such as contact lenses and to methods for packaging such ophthalmic devices with solutions to improve the comfort of the lenses during wear are disclosed. A packaging system includes an ophthalmic device stored in an aqueous packaging solution comprising a hydrophilic polymer having one or more nonethylenically-unsaturated carboxylic acid terminal groups.

Disclosed is a contact lens warming apparatus (100) adapted to warm a contact lens (109) stored in a removably inserted lens container (102), the apparatus comprising a controller (106), a heatable cavity (103) shaped to be conformal to a corresponding contact surface (108) of the inserted lens container (102), said conformal contact surface facilitating the rapid repeatable warming of the contact lens (109), and a heating element (107), wherein the controller (106) is adapted to direct the heating element (107) to warm the inserted lens container (102) thereby warming the contact lens (109) in the lens container (102) in order to reduce discomfort otherwise felt by a wearer of the contact lens (109) when inserting the unwarmed contact lens (109) into their eye.
摘要:
A contact lens container having a body portion with a pair of storage containers for storing a pair of contact lenses, a display for indicating a number of wears of the contact lenses remaining, and a counter button adapted for pressing by a wearer of the contact lenses each time the contact lenses are worn so as to reduce the number of wears indicated on the display by one each time the counter button is pressed and thereby track the number of wears of the contact lenses remaining.
摘要:
A pressurized dispenser for dispensing sterile liquids in droplets having a flexible nozzle with flexible dispensing tip is provided. The tip has an opening which is normally sealed around a central plug. The dispenser is inverted and by pressing the side of the flexible nozzle a valve releases pressurized liquid into the space between the central plug and the dispensing tip which causes the tip to expand and release droplets.
摘要:
An integrated lens care system including a lens case for contact lenses and a container for dispensing a lens care solution. The container includes a docking site where the lens case can be stored and then removed for use, and a retainer mechanism for releasably securing the lens case in the docked position. In example embodiments, the docking site. is a chamber into which the lens case is inserted, and the retainer mechanism includes at - least one protrusion that extends into the docking chamber and releasably couples to at least one recess in the lens case. In another example embodiment, the docking site is a peripheral edge of the container body where a combination lens case/closure cap mounts, and the retainer mechanism includes a snap-fit coupling at the peripheral edge.
摘要:
A device for cleaning contact lenses comprising a solution chamber and a motor (4) adapted to impart a reciprocating and vibrational motion to a contact lens holder (3). The contact lens holder (3) is adapted to receive one or more contact lenses, which holder, in use, is for insertion in the solution chamber (2), the holder (3) being adapted to permit fluid flow to the contact lens or lenses. The holder has first and second baskets (34, 36) each adapted to receive a contact lens, which lens has an inner and an outer surface, the first and second baskets being oriented such that, in use, the respective inner surfaces of the contact lenses are remote from one another. In use, the reciprocating and vibrational motion imparted to the contact lens holder (3) generates bubbles in a solution in the solution chamber (2), which bubbles contribute to fluid turbulence at a surface of the contact lens, thereby assisting in the cleaning of the lens.
摘要:
A contact lens cleaning and storage case includes a base having two container sections for holding a liquid; two lens holders, each positioned above a lower wall of a respective container section and each at least partially sitting within the respective container section, each lens holder having a bottom wall; a drain connected to the bottom of each lens holder for draining liquid from each lens holder to the container sections, the drain including reduced diameter openings for restricting a liquid flow rate so as to provide that liquid drainage from the lens holders to the container sections occurs in a time of ten to fifteen seconds; additional openings which provide fluid communication between atmosphere and the container sections so as to provide for displacement of air in the container sections; and two caps, each for removably covering a respective lens holder.
