    摘要: A target volume of ocular tissue is treated with a laser having a direction of propagation toward the target volume, where the target volume is characterized by a distal extent, a proximal extent, and a lateral extent. A layer of tissue at an initial depth corresponding to the distal extent of the target volume is initially photodisrupted using a femtosecond laser by scanning the laser in multiple directions defining an initial treatment plane. Tissue at one or more subsequent depths between the distal extent of the target volume and the proximal extent of the target volume is subsequently photodisrupted using a femtosecond laser by moving a focus of the laser in a direction opposite the direction of propagation of the laser and then scanning the laser in multiple directions defining an subsequent treatment plane. Photodisruption is repeated at different subsequent depths until tissue at the proximal extent of the target volume is photodisrupted.

    摘要: An integrated surgical system for accessing one of a plurality of target volumes of ocular tissue in an eye includes a first optical transmission subsystem optically coupled to receive a first light beam, an optics assembly, and a control system. The optics assembly has an optical axis and is configured to couple to the eye to align its optical axis with the optical axis of the eye. The optics assembly is optically coupled with the first optical transmission subsystem to receive the first light beam along one of a plurality of first input axes and to direct the first light beam to a corresponding one of a plurality of first output axes aligned with a corresponding one of the plurality of target volumes of ocular tissue in the eye. The control system is configured to control the first optical transmission subsystem to direct the first light beam into alignment with a select one of the plurality of first input axes.
