    摘要: The invention is directed to a system and methods for automatically determining a multiple number of viable treatment plans for correcting a patient's vision via photoablative refractive surgery. Embodiments of the invention rely on selected various diagnostic input about the patient's eye to classify the eye as being particularly suitable for treatment by several different treatment algorithms. The invention is further directed to the simultaneous presentation of various treatment plans based upon selected input data and available treatment algorithms that can be reviewed, modified, and ultimately selected for application. A system embodiment according to the invention includes a component for receiving the diagnostic input data about the patient's vision, for analyzing the input data and determining the potentially usable treatment algorithms, and for processing the potentially usable treatment algorithms based upon the input data, and a component for displaying the multilevel graphical user interface which facilitates review, modification, and selection of viable treatment plans for correcting the patient's vision. The system is further operably associated with a storage medium for storing calculated and selected treatment plans which include executable instructions for a photoablative laser component of the system to deliver a selected treatment plan to the patient's eye.

    摘要: This invention is directed to a method for providing a LASIK or a LASEK myopia vision correction, and to a medium that has stored therein an instruction for directing a laser vision correcting laser platform to deliver a controlled biodynamic ablation according to the invention. A known biodynamic response of the eye is induced by performing a controlled laser ablation in a cornea of the eye outside of an optical zone for the nominal ablation in a laser vision correction surgery. An ablation ring, or portion thereof, outside of the optical zone produces a biodynamic flattening of the central region of the cornea which in turn provides for a decreased depth of volumetric ablation to correct a myopic refractive defect of the eye. Such controlled biodynamic flattening may provide the opportunity for laser vision correction in patients whose corneas would otherwise be too thin post-operatively to warrant laser vision correction.

    摘要: An method for providing an objective manifest refraction of a patient's eye includes obtaining at least fourth-order Zernike wavefront aberration information, fitting a second-order only polynomial to the at least fourth-order data, and using this information to predict the patient's manifest refraction with an accuracy approaching the patient's subjective manifest refraction. A method is also described for prescribing an accurate vision correction based upon the objective manifest refraction. A display according to the invention includes higher-order wavefront aberrations, lower order wavefront aberrations, numerical indicia of predicted manifest refraction, and images of qualitative assessments of a patient's vision quality. A device for obtaining an objective manifest refraction is described.

    摘要: In an ophthalmic laser system preferably intended for photoablative refractive surgery, a component apparatus that is preferably an optical coherence tomography device for measuring corneal pachymetry makes its measurement when the First and Second Purkinje reflections of the OCT probe beam are detected, otherwise, the reflection signal is not strong enough to enable the OCT measurement. The beam axis of the therapeutic laser of the system is co-aligned with the OCT-prbbe beam. When the First and Second Purkinje reflections of the OCT probe beam are detected, a signal is generated by the OCT device and sent to the eye tracker component of the system to engage the eye tracker operation. This allows for objective, automatic engagement of the eye tracker and alignment of the patient's optical axis to the treatment axis or a diagnostic beam axis.
