Multi-coil wireless power transfer assembly for wireless glaucoma therapy

A device for reducing elevated intraocular pressure in an eye of a mammalian subject, comprising:

• a multi-coil assembly, comprising one or more pairs of coils, each coil constructed from an elongated conductor formed into a plurality of windings and adapted to be positioned in proximity to said eye of said mammalian subject;
• a stimulation electrode assembly adapted to be positioned near said eye of said mammalian subject, said stimulation electrode assembly adapted to receive a signal from the multi-coil assembly and to deliver a stimulation signal to at least one intraocular structure in a therapeutically effective amount to reduce said elevated intraocular pressure within said eye of said mammalian subject by:
• (a) decreasing aqueous humor inflow into an anterior segment of said eye;
• and
• (b) increasing aqueous humor outflow from said anterior segment of said eye;
• wherein adjacent coils of the multi-coil assembly are configured to deliver a signal to the stimulation electrode to create eddy currents within the eye with alternating directions.

A system, comprising:

• glasses having a frame and defining viewing apertures to be positioned in alignment with an eye of a mammalian subject;
• a multi-coil assembly mounted to the glasses, the multi-coil assembly comprising one or more pairs of coils, wherein adjacent coils are configured to create eddy currents with alternating directions within at least one eye of the mammalian subject;
• and
• a signal generator electrically coupled to the multi-coil assembly.
