| 20110202046 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATED PLACEMENT OF SCANNED LASER CAPSULORHEXIS INCISIONS - Systems and methods are described for cataract intervention. In one embodiment a system comprises a laser source configured to produce a treatment beam comprising a plurality of laser pulses; an integrated optical system comprising an imaging assembly operatively coupled to a treatment laser delivery assembly such that they share at least one common optical element, the integrated optical system being configured to acquire image information pertinent to one or more targeted tissue structures and direct the treatment beam in a 3-dimensional pattern to cause breakdown in at least one of the targeted tissue structures; and a controller operatively coupled to the laser source and integrated optical system, and configured to adjust the laser beam and treatment pattern based upon the image information, and distinguish two or more anatomical structures of the eye based at least in part upon a robust least squares fit analysis of the image information. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110196350 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PLASMA-MEDIATED MODIFICATION OF TISSUE - A system for cataract surgery on an eye of a patient is described. In one embodiment, the system comprises a first laser source configured to deliver a first laser beam in a pulsed form at a first pulse energy; a second laser source configured to deliver a second laser beam in a pulsed form at a second pulse energy greater than the first pulse energy; an scanning optical system, configured to: receive the first and second laser beams; and adjust a first focus position of the first laser beam, and a second focus position of the second laser beam, in up to three dimensions to direct the first and second laser beams onto one or more targeted tissue structure portions of the eye of the patient; a controller operatively coupled to the scanning optical system and configured to cause the scanning optical system to adjust the first focus position to photodisrupt a first tissue structure portion with the first laser beam, and subsequently adjust the second focus position to further photodisrupt the first tissue structure portion with the second laser beam. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110184395 | METHOD FOR LASER CAPSULOTOMY AND LENS CONDITIONING - A method of creating a capsulotomy and conditioning the crystalline lens is disclosed, wherein a laser is employed that provides improved performance by treating the capsule predominantly prior to treating the lens. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110172649 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MODIFYING EYE TISSUE AND INTRAOCULAR LENSES - As shown in the drawings for purposes of illustration, a method and system for making physical modifications to intraocular targets is disclosed. In varying embodiments, the method and system disclosed herein provide many advantages over the current standard of care. Specifically, linear absorption facilitated photodecomposition and linear absorption facilitated plasma generation to modify intraocular tissues and synthetic intraocular lenses. | 07-14-2011 |
