Devices, methods, and compositions for improving vision or treating diseases, disorders or injury of the eye are described. Ophthalmic devices, such as corneal onlays, corneal inlays, and full-thickness corneal implants, are made of a material that is effective in facilitating nerve growth through or over the device. The material may include an amount of collagen greater than 1% (w/w), such as between about 10% (w/w) and about 30% (w/w). The material may include collagen polymers and/or a second biopolymer or water-soluble synthetic polymer cross-linked using EDC/NHS chemistry. The material may additionally comprise a synthetic polymer. The devices are placed into an eye to correct or improve the vision of an individual or to treat a disease, disorder or injury of an eye of an individual.

L~invention porte sur des dispositifs, des procédés et des compositions pour améliorer la vision ou traiter les maladies, les troubles ou les blessures de l~oeil. Les dispositifs ophtalmiques, comme les implants externes de la cornée, les implants internes de la cornée et les implants de cornée sur toute l~épaisseur, sont réalisés dans un matériau facilitant la croissance nerveuse à travers ou sur le dispositif. Le matériau peut englober une quantité de collagène supérieure à 1% (en poids), par exemple entre environ 10% (en poids) et environ 30% (en poids). Le matériau peut inclure des polymères collagènes et/ou un second biopolymère ou polymère synthétique soluble dans l~eau réticulé à l~aide de la chimie EDC/NHS. Le matériau peut en outre comprendre un polymère synthétique. Les dispositifs sont placés dans l~AEil pour corriger ou améliorer la vision d~un individu ou traiter une maladie, un trouble ou une blessure de l~AEil d~un individu.
