Intraocular Injection Guide

The Intraocular Injection Guide (IIG) reduces discomfort during traditional eye injections. In the United States alone, over 4.6 million eye injections were given in 2014, and the number is increasing exponentially. In each traditional injection, a lid speculum is used to pry the eyelids open and prevent disease; however, reports have shown that the lid speculum is a source of intense pain for many patients. The IIG has been shown through an IRB-approved medical study to significantly reduce pain in these injections in comparison to the traditional lid speculum, allowing physicians to provide better, more comfortable care to patients.​

Unfortunately, the device failed to receive a patent due to similarly-designed devices not currently on the market. However, this device remain in use at Midwest Eye Institute.

Note: The device was tested and the study was conducted by Dr. Raj Maturi, my father, at Midwest Eye Institute. My role was as the product designer, creating CAD models and developing over 15 iterations of the product for testing and eventual study implementation.
