20080287927Protective device for ophthalmic laser treatment - A protective device for ophthalmic laser treatment comprises a transparent foil for protecting an eye from direct contact by a reference body disposed between a laser applicator and the eye. The protective device further comprises means for disposing the foil between the reference body and the eye, for example a carrier frame, having the foil attached thereto, and a suction ring for attachment to the eye around an operative area. The suction ring is designed for receiving the carrier frame such that the operative area is covered by the foil when the suction ring is attached to the eye. Furthermore, the suction ring is provided with coupling means for attachment to the laser applicator. When the laser is activated, laser pulses are projected from the laser applicator through the reference body and the foil to dissolved tissue of the eye. By moving the focal point of the pulsed laser beam into the foil, open cuts can be made in the eye, without damaging the reference body.11-20-2008

20090294422Method and device for the removal of material by means of laser pulses - The invention relates to a method for removing material by means of a laser, wherein a sequence of laser pulses is generated and an area of material to be machined is irradiated with the sequence of laser pulses. Methods of this kind are used to cut a number of different materials. One problem with this method is that thermal or mechanical damage occurs in the surroundings of the area being machined and causes impairment of areas of material that are not being machined. The invention solves this problem by the pulse energy of a single pulse in the sequence of laser pulses being lower than the laser pulse energy required to produce material removal using an isolated laser pulse in the region irradiated with the single laser pulse of the sequence of laser pulses.12-03-2009

20100042081OPHTHALMOLOGICAL DEVICE FOR RESOLVING EYE TISSUE - An opthalmological device for resolving eye tissue includes a base station with a light source for producing light pulses. Attached to the base station is a supporting arm with an application head that can be placed on an eye. The light pulses are transmitted from the base station through an optical transmission system to the application head. The application head has a light projector for the focused projection of the light pulses for point-by-point resolution of the eye tissue. The supporting arm is rigidly configured and has at one end a rotary joint with a horizontally aligned axis of rotation, wherein the rotary joint is attached in such a way that the application head can be placed on the eye with a rotation about the axis of rotation. The rotary joint makes it possible for the application head or the light projector to be manually docked in a controlled manner onto the eye in the vertical direction by means of a rotational movement that is easy to perform and has low mechanical friction.02-18-2010

20100094264OPHTHALMOLOGICAL APPARATUS FOR BREAKDOWN OF EYE TISSUE - An opthalmological apparatus for breakdown of eye tissue includes a base station with a light source for generating light pulses, a support arm, with an application head that can be placed onto an eye, is mounted on the base station. The light pulses are transmitted from the base station to the application head through an optical transmission system. The application head has a light projector for focused projection of the light pulses for punctiform breakdown of eye tissue. The support arm is of rigid design with horizontal orientation and has a hinge with a horizontally oriented rotation axis, the hinge is mounted in such a way that the application head can be placed onto the eye with a rotation extending about the rotation axis. The hinge permits controlled manual docking of the application head and light projector onto the eye in a vertical direction, via a rotation movement that is easy to perform and has minimal mechanical friction.04-15-2010
20110032480OPHTHALMOLOGICAL MEASURING DEVICE AND MEASUREMENT METHOD - An opthalmological measuring device for determining geometric structures in an eye includes an optical, triangulating measurement system for determining at least one geometric reference in the eye by triangulation, and an optical, interferometric measurement system for determining geometric detailed structures in the eye by optical interferometry. The measuring device is designed to position the geometric detailed structures determined by the interferometric measurement system on the basis of the at least one geometric reference in the eye determined by the triangulating measurement system. This firstly allows the interferometric measurement system to register geometric detailed structures in the eye with a high optical resolution and at places that are not visible to the triangulating measurement system, and secondly allows the positioning of said geometric detailed structures in the eye on the basis of geometric references that are determined by the triangulating measurement system without significant movement artifacts.02-10-2011
