Filed:

Mar 30, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/822040

Inventors:

Alan I. Lang - Long Beach CA
Valdemar Portney - Tustin CA
Stephen W. Laguette - Santa Barbara CA

Assignee:

Advanced Medical Optics - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

A61F 216

US Classification:

623 637, 623 627, 623 628, 623 639

Abstract:

Intraocular lenses include a lens body sized and adapted for placement in a mammalian eye and having a plurality of different optical powers, and a movement assembly joined to the lens body and adapted to cooperate with the mammalian eye to effect accommodating movement of the lens body in the eye. Such intraocular lenses provide enhanced accommodation relative to the accommodation attainable using a single optical power IOL adapted for accommodating movement.

Alan J. Lang - Long Beach CA

Assignee:

Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

A61F 216

US Classification:

623 628, 623 624, 623 654

Abstract:

An ophthalmic lens system for improving the vision of a patient including first and second ophthalmic lenses. Each of these lenses is adapted for implantation in an eye or to be disposed on or in the cornea. The first ophthalmic lens is biased for distance vision and the second ophthalmic lens is biased for intermediate vision. The ophthalmic lenses may be intraocular lenses which are implanted in the eyes of a patient without removal of the natural lens.

Assignee:

Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

A61F 216

US Classification:

623 628, 623 632, 623 634

Abstract:

An intraocular lens for implantation in an eye of a patient includes a multifocal optic and a movement assembly. The optic has maximum add power which is less than the add power required for full near vision for a pseudophakic eye. The movement assembly is coupled to the optic and is adapted to cooperate with the eye of the patient to effect accommodating movement of the optic in the eye. Lens systems including two optics and two movement assemblies are also provided. The intraocular lenses and lens systems are particularly useful when implanted in the eyes of a patient after removal of the natural lenses.

Assignee:

Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

A61F 216

US Classification:

623 628, 623 632

Abstract:

An binocular lens system for improving the vision of a patient including first and second ophthalmic lenses. Each of these lenses is adapted for implantation in an eye or to be disposed on or in the cornea. The first lens has a first baseline diopter power for distance vision correction and the second ophthalmic lens has a second baseline diopter power for other than distance vision correction. The ophthalmic lenses may be intraocular lenses which are implanted in the eyes of a patient or has natural lenses or following removal of the natural lenses.

Assignee:

Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

A61F 216

US Classification:

623 637, 623 649

Abstract:

An intraocular lens includes an optic for focusing light and a movement assembly coupled to the optic. The movement assembly is adapted to cooperate with the eye to effect accommodating movement of the optic. The movement assembly includes a plurality of movement members and a suspension structure. The movement members are coupled to a periphery of the optic. The suspension structure is coupled to the movement members and is adapted to be in contact with a peripheral region of a capsular bag of an eye. The movement members are adapted to convert radial movement of the suspension structure caused by movement of the capsular bag to axial movement of the optic. The movement members are also adapted to amplify the radial movement of the suspension structure so that the optic moves axially a greater distance than the distance moved radially by the suspension structure.

Inventors:

Alan J. Lang - Long Beach CA

Assignee:

Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

A61F 216

US Classification:

623 627, 623 628, 623 611

Abstract:

An intraocular lens for use in a mammalian eye having a natural lens, the intraocular lens including a lens body sized and adapted for placement in the eye, and having a baseline optical power and at least one optical add power. The at least one optical add power is reduced relative to the corresponding optical power of a similar intraocular lens adapted for placement in a similar eye in which the natural lens has been removed.

Abstract:

A method and system for improving the efficiency of a database processing system for evaluating candidate data items representing search listings that are submitted for inclusion into a search engine database. Candidate search listings are automatically assessed for quality, style, and relevance to evaluate risk of unfavorable reception by a user and of potential exposure volume. Search listings which are higher-risk or higher-volume are routed through manual editorial review while lower-risk, lower-volume search listings are routed for immediate inclusion in the search database without manual editorial evaluation. Accordingly, human editorial efforts can be devoted to manual review of high-risk or high-volume search listings while efficiency is simultaneously improved in the processing system as a whole.
