  • Publication number: 20240118536
    Abstract: An ophthalmic laser system uses a non-confocal configuration to determine a laser beam focus position relative to the patient interface (PI) surface. The system includes a light intensity detector with no confocal lens or pinhole between the detector and the objective lens. When the objective focuses the light to a target focus point inside the PI lens at a particular offset from its distal surface, the light signal at the detector peaks. The offset value is determined by fixed system parameters, and can also be empirically determined by directly measuring the PI lens surface by observing the effect of plasma formation at the glass surface. During ophthalmic procedures, the laser focus is first scanned insider the PI lens, and the target focus point location is determined from the peak of the detector signal. The known offset value is then added to obtain the location of the PI lens surface.

  • Patent number: 10300142
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions (e.g., extended release compositions) which exhibit a desirable pharmacokinetic profile of an active agent while providing reduced dissolution sample variability, e.g., in the form of reduced inter-capsule variability and/or a reduction in storage-time dependent change in mean release of the active agent from the composition. Related methods of making and administering the disclosed compositions are also provided.
