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.
Apparatus For Creating Incisions To Improve Intraocular Lens Placement
US Patent:

Filed:
Jul 25, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/951343
Inventors:

International Classification:
A61F 2/16
US Classification:
623 64, 623 643, 623 654
Abstract:
A system and method for inserting an intraocular lens in a patient's eye includes a light source for generating a light beam, a scanner for deflecting the light beam to form an enclosed treatment pattern that includes a registration feature, and a delivery system for delivering the enclosed treatment pattern to target tissue in the patient's eye to form an enclosed incision therein having the registration feature. An intraocular lens is placed within the enclosed incision, wherein the intraocular lens has a registration feature that engages with the registration feature of the enclosed incision. Alternately, the scanner can make a separate registration incision for a post that is connected to the intraocular lens via a strut member.

International Classification:
A61F 9/01, A61B 18/20
US Classification:
606 5, 606 6
Abstract:
A system and method of treating target tissue in a patient's eye, which includes generating a light beam, deflecting the light beam using a scanner to form first and second treatment patterns, delivering the first treatment pattern to the target tissue to form an incision that provides access to an eye chamber of the patient's eye, and delivering the second treatment pattern to the target tissue to form a relaxation incision along or near limbus tissue or along corneal tissue anterior to the limbus tissue of the patient's eye to reduce astigmatism thereof.

International Classification:
A61F 9/008
US Classification:
606 4
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.
