    摘要: A lens is provided that having optical parameters that may be adjusted in-situ, and is particularly useful as an IOL for use in cataract patients that require an adjustment in the optical power of the lens post-implantation. In one embodiment, the lens body carries an array of interior fluid-filled cells in which fluid is controllably moved upon application of energy from an external source to move a fluid media into or out of the cells to thereby alter the lens surface shape.

    摘要: A fiber optic radiation transmission system is provided in which an optical fiber and a radiation source are connected to establish optical communication therebetween. Additionally, a connecting system is provided for connecting an optical fiber and a radiation source such that optical communication is established therebetween. The systems include a connector which carries the optical fiber therein. The connector is extendable within the system toward the radiation source to bring the optical fiber into optical communication with the radiation source. More particularly, the systems are configured in such a way that when the connector is extended sufficiently within the system, it seats the optical fiber relative to the radiation source under bias, thereby establishing a reliable optical connection. Once the optical connection is thus established, the connector engages a connection port associated with the radiation source to secure the system in a fully connected configuration appropriate for use. Thus, in a method of using such a system, the user simply extends the connector until the connector engages the connection port. The present invention thus provides efficient and reliable systems in which optical communication is established between an optical fiber and a radiation source.

    摘要: A method for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia using a laser is provided. The method includes emitting, in proximity to prostatic tissue, laser light at a wavelength that is controlled to be within at least one of (i) a range between about 1275 nm and about 1475 nm or (ii) a range between about 1830 nm and about 2010 nm. The wavelength is selected to have a higher absorption by water than laser light at a wavelength of 830 nm and a lower absorption by hemoglobin than laser light at the wavelength of 830 nm. Emission of the laser light is controlled such that the prostatic tissue is heated to a temperature of less than about 100° C. to coagulate the prostatic tissue.
