Alpha 2 Collagen VIII (Col8a2) Q455K Knock-in Mouse Model of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
Unmet Need:Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a genetic disease affecting the cornea and is estimated to affect 7% of the adult population (see Aiello et al. 2022). The first genetic defect shown to cause FECD was a point mutation in the alpha 2 collagen 8 gene (Col8a2). The disease results in a buildup of fluid in the cornea and causes...

Hammerhead Irrigation + Aspiration Tip for Cataract Surgery
Unmet NeedCataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world, accounting for half of blindness cases and affecting about 20 million people. While cataract surgery is an effective procedure for restoring vision with a high success rate, it is a somewhat difficult procedure. Thus, there may be a need for improved surgical tools that make the procedure...

Implantable lens capsule for intraocular lens insertion.
Unmet NeedCataract surgery is the most common intraocular surgery, with more than 3.5 million occurring each year in the U.S. Various circumstances compromise the ability to safely insert an intraocular lens (IOL) implant following cataract extraction such as zonular insufficiency or posterior capsule rupture. Alternatives for IOL placement within the...

LACRIMAL CANALICULAR DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE
Unmet NeedThere has been a growing development of novel drug delivery implants and tear drainage occlusion devices designed for delivery in the canalicular space. These implants are delivered through the punctal os, or the entrance to the lacrimal canicular space. These current strategies require the end user to manually insert the introducer at the...

Helix Reversible Lacrimal Canalicular Occlusion Device and Associated Materials and Methods for Delivery and Recovery
Unmet NeedPatients with dry eye currently get a treatment called Punctal Occlusion. This procedure consists of inserting punctal plugs into the tear drainage area of the eye to keep the tears in the eyes longer. Dry eye syndrome affects between 7.4% and 33.7% of the population. Current solutions are permanent punctal occlusion devices, in which they...
