Abstract:
A method for testing a laser device configured to emit pulsed, focused laser radiation includes providing an artificial eye body with a pattern that simulates a pupil and/or an iris structure. An irradiation test object is arranged above the pattern. The irradiation test object is separate from the eye body and is made of a material that is modifiable by the laser radiation. The laser radiation is applied to the irradiation test object according to a predefined application profile, so that a material modification that corresponds to the application profile is generated in the irradiation test object.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for the administration of ablation profiles during refractive surgery treatments. Basis data framework techniques enable the implementation of ablation profiles having various shapes, resulting in increased ablation accuracy when treating certain vision conditions. Exemplary basis data architecture approaches are configured to efficiently operate with annular, elliptical, and slit laser beam shapes.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a device (10) for controlling an eye surgery system, wherein a light pattern is generated on an eye (30) by an illumination device (12) and is captured by a camera unit (11) while the patient is in the position in which he or she will undergo the surgery. At least one property of the eye (30) characterizing the current orientation of the eye (30) during the surgery is determined from the light pattern (40) by a computing unit (13).
Abstract:
Embodiments of this invention relate to systems and methods for providing anatomical flap centration for an ophthalmic laser treatment system. In one embodiment, the laser surgery system, having an imaging system and a suction ring coupled with a patient interface, captures a digital image of a subject's eye and identifies an optimum treatment placement of the corneal flap using anatomical markers as reference points.
