An ophthalmic laser treatment device includes an irradiation unit that irradiates a patient's eye with laser treatment light and a control unit that controls the irradiation unit. The control unit acquires a motion contrast acquired by an OCT unit that detects an OCT signal of measurement light reflected from the patients eye and reference light corresponding to the measurement light, acquires irradiation target information based on the motion contrast, and controls the irradiation unit so as to irradiate the patient's eye with the laser light, based on the irradiation target information.

To improve the precision of ophthalmic surgical procedures by reducing corneal wrinkling, a patient interface for an ophthalmic system can include an attachment portion, configured to attach the patient interface to a distal end of the ophthalmic system; a contact portion, configured to dock the patient interface to an eye; and a contact element, coupled to the contact portion, configured to contact a surface of a cornea of the eye as part of the docking of the patient interface to the eye, and having a central portion with a central radius of curvature Rc and a peripheral portion with a peripheral radius of curvature Rp, wherein Rc is smaller than Rp.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for integrating and optimizing a surgical suite. An ophthalmic suite can include a surgical console, a heads-up display communicatively coupled with a surgical camera for capturing a three-dimensional image of an eye, and a surgical suite optimization engine. The surgical suite optimization engine can performs a wide variety of actions in response to action codes received from the other components in the surgical suite. The surgical suite optimization engine can be integrated within another component of the surgical suite, can be a stand-alone module, and can be a cloud-based tool.

A patient interface device (PID) for contacting the surface of the eye and having a meniscus inverter. A pin, clip and ridge configuration for holding a window and maintaining an open reservoir of BSS in a PID. A PID for integrated systems and methods for performing laser and phacoemulsification operations. A PID for a reconfigurable system for performing a laser procedure in a laser configuration, and then being reconfigured into a phaco configuration, to perform a phacoemulsification, and then being reconfigured back to the laser configuration.

The disclosure provides a method for correcting higher-order aberrations including providing a laser radiation. The method also includes controlling a location of a beam focal point of the laser radiation by a system of scanners and guiding the beam focal point in such a way that the location of the beam focal point is in a cornea of an eye. The method further includes introducing the laser radiation into the cornea of the eye. The method includes cutting a lenslet, wherein a thickness of the lenslet t(X/Y) satisfies a following equation: t(X/Y)=t.sub.0+Δt(X,Y)/(n−1), where Δt(X,Y) represents a higher-order wavefront elevation and to represents the thickness of the lenslet having a spherical refractive power of D.

A system and method for augmenting an original OCT (optical coherence tomography) image includes a controller having a processor and a tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The system includes one or more learning modules selectively executable by the controller. The learning modules are trained by a training network with a training dataset having a plurality of training ultrasound bio-microscopy images and respective training OCT images. Execution of the instructions by the processor causes the controller to obtain the original OCT image, captured through an OCT device. The controller is configured to generate an augmented OCT image based in part on the original OCT image, by executing the (trained) learning modules. The augmented OCT image at least partially extends a peripheral portion of the original OCT image.

An ophthalmological device for surgical treatment of a cornea comprises a laser source, a focusing optical module, a scanner system, and an electronic circuit configured to control the scanner system to move the focus of the pulsed laser beam generated by the laser source to cut inside the cornea a lenticule and a venting channel which comprises an opening incision in a peripheral area of an exterior surface of the cornea, outside a perimeter of the lenticule from a top view perspective onto the cornea, and the venting channel connecting fluidically the posterior lenticule surface and/or the anterior lenticule surface to the opening incision, to enable venting of gas, produced by cutting the lenticule inside the cornea, through the opening incision to the exterior of the cornea.

An ophthalmological device for treatment of a cornea comprises a laser source, a focusing optical module, a scanner system, and an electronic circuit. The electronic circuit is configured to control the scanner system to move the focal spot of the pulsed laser beam to generate a void volume inside the cornea by ablating cornea tissue with partially overlapping focal spots, whereby two or more focal spots partially overlap in direction of each of three dimensions of the void volume, and to move the focal spot inside the cornea to cut in the cornea a venting channel which connects fluidically the void volume to an escape area and enables venting of gas from the void volume through the venting channel to the escape area.

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.

The present invention predicts prior to a laser iris color-change procedure what a patient's iris color will be after the procedure. The present invention does so by identifying and measuring a variety of anatomical features of the patient's eye that affect or are otherwise relevant to predicting the patient's post-operative iris color, translating these measurements into a post-operative iris color prediction, and communicating this prediction to the patient in a manner sufficient to manage the patient's expectations with respect to the aesthetic outcome of the procedure.
