    Abstract: In a laser cataract procedure that also corrects for astigmatism, an iris registration method compares an iris image of a patient's eye taken when the eye is not docked to a patient interface device with an iris image of the same eye that is docked to the patient interface, to calculate a rotation angle between the two images. The astigmatism axis of the eye is measured when the eye is not docked, and the measured axis is rotated by the calculated rotation angle to obtain a rotated astigmatism axis relative to the iris image of the docked eye. The laser cataract procedure is performed based on the rotated astigmatism axis. The rotation angle is calculated by optimizing a transformation that transforms the undocked iris image to match the docked iris image, where the transformation includes a dilation factor that accounts for different pupil dilation of the two iris images.

    Abstract: In a cataract procedure, a new geometry of a lens segmentation pattern reduces the required phacoemulsification energy to remove the lens. The lens segmentation process employs a three-dimensional spiral lens segmentation pattern that resembles a spiral staircase or a spiral ramp, to incise a vertical cylindrical volume of the lens into a three-dimensional spiral that can be more easily removed. The segmentation patter is formed by scanning the laser focal spot in a layer by layer manner, each layer including a closed curve corresponding to the outer boundary of the segmentation volume, and a filled area inside the closed curve forming a horizontal step of the spiral staircase. The horizontal steps of vertically adjacent layers are offset by an offset angle, creating the spiral lens segmentation pattern that form a spiral volume.
