MUMBAI, India, March 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441068903 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Sept. 11, 2024, for 'a system for iris positioning in an ocular prosthesis and method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Divyabharathi Selvam; Ramya Srinivasan; Noorul Rizwana; Venkat Rengasamy; Vishal Reddy; and Muthukumar Balasubramanium.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a system for precise iris positioning in ocular prostheses. The system integrates a suite of technologies to replicate the natural appearance of a patient's contralateral eye. A digital imaging device (102) captures high-resolution images or 3D scans of the patient's facial features, focusing on the contralateral eye and facial anatomy. These images are analysed by a facial analysis module (104) that determines the optimal iris position and shape tailored to the patient's unique facial structure. An image drawing framework (106) utilizes this data to create a customized iris positioning template. This template is then physically realized through a manufacturing framework (108) using advanced image drawing technology. Finally, a positioning module (110) uses this physical template to accurately place the iris within the ocular prosthesis (112), ensuring a natural and symmetrical appearance relative to the contralateral eye. This system enhances aesthetic outcomes and personalization in ocular prosthetics."
