APPARATUS FOR PATTERNED PLASMA-MEDIATED LASER OPHTHALMIC SURGERY
A system for ophthalmic surgery on an eye includes: a pulsed laser which produces a treatment beam; an OCT imaging assembly capable of creating a continuous depth profile of the eye; an optical scanning system configured to position a focal zone of the treatment beam to a targeted location in three dimensions in one or more floaters in the posterior pole. The system also includes one or more controllers programmed to automatically scan tissues of the patient's eye with the imaging assembly; identify one or more boundaries of the one or more floaters based at least in part on the image data; iii. identify one or more treatment regions based upon the boundaries; and operate the optical scanning system with the pulsed laser to produce a treatment beam directed in a pattern based on the one or more treatment regions.
Apparatus to Modify Accommodating Intraocular Lens
An apparatus and a method to adjust mechanical properties of an intraocular lens including at least two haptics and at least one optical element, with the apparatus including at least one laser light source adapted to provide inscription of a pattern in the lens and a digital control unit adapted to control the laser light.
OPHTHALMIC THERAPEUTIC DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
The present invention relates to an ophthalmic treatment apparatus and a control method therefor, the ophthalmic treatment apparatus comprising: a display unit for displaying an image of a patient's eyeground; a treatment region setting unit for setting a treatment region on the basis of the image of the patient's eyeground; a treatment light radiating unit for radiating treatment light to the set treatment region; a radiation density setting unit for setting radiation density of the treatment light radiated to the set treatment region; and a control unit for controlling the treatment light radiating unit so as to radiate the treatment light onto the set treatment region on the basis of the set density.
TREATMENT SYSTEM FOR OPHTHALMIC PURPOSES WITH STORAGE
A treatment system for ophthalmic purposes with a base body and an articulated arm with an applicator for applying an examination or treatment to a patient's eye, which includes a locking device for the secure storage of the articulated arm.
Image processor for intra-surgical optical coherence tomographic imaging of laser cataract procedures
A surgical system includes a laser source to generate a first set of laser pulses; a guiding optic to guide the first set of laser pulses to a target region; a laser controller to generate an electronic representation of a target scan pattern, and to control the guiding optic to scan the first set of laser pulses according to a portion of the target scan pattern to create a first photo-disrupted region in the target region; and a OCT imaging system to generate an image of a portion of the first photo-disrupted region. The laser controller can generate an electronic representation of a modified scan pattern in relation to the image generated by the SS-OCT imaging system, and control the guiding optic to scan a second set of laser pulses according the modified scan pattern.
Ophthalmic instrument and method relating to the iris of the eye
A system and a method may be provided relating to the iris of an eye based on three-dimensional image data acquired by an optical coherence tomography.
TREATMENT APPARATUS FOR SURGICAL CORRECTION OF DEFECTIVE EYESIGHT, METHOD OF GENERATING CONTROL DATA THEREFORE, AND METHOD FOR SURGICAL CORRECTION OF DEFECTIVE EYESIGHT
A treatment method and apparatus for surgical correction of defective-eyesight in an eye of a patient, wherein a laser device is controlled by a control device, said laser device separating corneal tissue by irradiation of laser radiation to isolate a volume located within a cornea, wherein the control device controls the laser device to focus the laser radiation, by providing target points located within the cornea, into the cornea, wherein the control device, when providing the target points, allows for focus position errors which lead to a deviation between the predetermined position and the actual position of the target points when focusing the laser radiation, by pre-offsets depending on the positions of the respective target points to compensate for said focus position errors.
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY DEVICE
An optical coherence tomography device includes an OCT optical system that irradiates a tissue of the subject's eye with measurement light from a light source, and detects interference between reference light and the measurement light reflected from the tissue by using a detector, and a processor, in which the processor performs a generation process of acquiring A-scan data based on a signal output from the detector in a cycle of 300 kilohertz or more and generating three-dimensional OCT data at any time based on the acquired A-scan data, and performs an analysis process on each piece of the three-dimensional OCT data generated at any time through the generation process, so as to output a real-time analysis result of the three-dimensional OCT data which is generated at any time.

Laser eye surgery system
A laser eye surgery system includes a laser source, a ranging subsystem, an integrated optical subsystem, and a patient interface assembly. The laser source produces a treatment beam that includes a plurality of laser pulses. The ranging subsystem produces a source beam used to locate one or more structures of an eye. The ranging subsystem includes an optical coherence tomography (OCT) pickoff assembly that includes a first optical wedge and a second optical wedge separated from the first optical wedge. The OCT pickoff assembly is configured to divide an OCT source beam into a sample beam and a reference beam. The integrated optical subsystem is used to scan the treatment beam and the sample beam. The patient interface assembly couples the eye with the integrated optical subsystem so as to constrain the eye relative to the integrated optical subsystem.
