Abstract

The described devices and methods are useful in the field of ophthalmology. Described herein are epithelial delaminators, applicators, lens inserters, and methods of using those devices for introducing an ocular device beneath a corneal epithelium. Typically, the devices would be used to lift a section or portion of the corneal epithelium and insert a lens or other ocular correction device beneath the lifted epithelium in a single stroke. The described devices and methods for using them involve separating or lifting corneal epithelium from the eye in a substantially continuous layer to form a flap or pocket. In particular, the devices and methods generally utilize a combined epithelial delaminator and ocular device inserter. The combined delaminator and inserter is configured to separate the epithelium from the cornea, e.g., between the epithelium and the corneal stroma (Bowman's membrane) in the region of the lamina lucida, and also to introduce an ocular device on the eye without the need for an additional inserter or an additional insertion step. The devices and methods described herein may be used as part of an ocular therapy including ocular corrective surgery and laser eye corrective surgery.
