System And Method For Plasma-Mediated Modification Of Tissue

US Patent:
2011019, Aug 11, 2011
Filed:
Feb 8, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/023483
Inventors:
Neil Friedman - Menlo Park CA, US
Barry Seibel - Pacific Palisades CA, US
William Culbertson - Miami FL, US
Georg Schuele - Menlo Park CA, US
Dan Andersen - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
OPTIMEDICA CORPORATION - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/20
US Classification:
606 6
Abstract:
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.

Method For Patterned Plasma-Mediated Modification Of The Crystalline Lens

US Patent:
2010013, Jun 3, 2010
Filed:
Feb 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/702242
Inventors:
William Culbertson - Miami FL, US
Barry Seibel - Pacific Palisades CA, US
Neil Friedman - Menlo Park CA, US
Georg Schule - Menlo Park CA, US
Philip Gooding - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
A61F 9/008
US Classification:
606 6
Abstract:
A method of treating a lens of a patient's eye includes generating a light beam, deflecting the light beam using a scanner to form a treatment pattern of the light beam, delivering the treatment pattern to the lens of a patient's eye to create a plurality of cuts in the lens in the form of the treatment pattern to break the lens up into a plurality of pieces, and removing the lens pieces from the patient's eye. The lens pieces can then be mechanically removed. The light beam can be used to create larger segmenting cuts into the lens, as well as smaller softening cuts that soften the lens for easier removal.
