Abstract
The present invention provides methods and systems for an eye marker device that includes a handle and an eye marker tip, wherein the eye marker tip includes at least two arms dimensioned for placing at least one mark or indicator on a cornea, sclera or sclera/cornea junction.
Claims14
An eye marker tip comprising:
- a base comprising a first side and a second side, the base extending to an outer edge;
- a marking tip extending from the first side of the base, the marking tip comprising a middle portion with a top portion and at least two arms extending to a distal end above the top portion of the middle portion of the marking tip, wherein the at least two arms are in a spaced-apart relationship from each other and the at least two arms extend upward from the first side of the base and a hollow middle portion spans between the at least two arms and the at least two arms are dimensional for placing at least one mark or indicator on a cornea, sclera or sclera/cornea junction of an eye;
- a post extending from the second side of the base;
- and
- a light conducting passageway oriented substantially along a longitudinal axis of the eye marker tip from a distal end of the post through the middle portion of the marking tip, thereby enabling light received at the distal end of the post to pass through the middle portion of the marking tip;
- wherein the at least two arms do not extend along all of a radius pivoting substantially about the longitudinal axis, thereby none of the arms are substantially obstructing the light received at the distal end of the post and enabling a user to observe, along an axis not passing through the base, a target area on the longitudinal axis, proximate the distal end of the at least two arms.
