Filed:

Mar 22, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/814443

Inventors:

David G. Angeley - San Jose CA, US
Dan E. Anderson - Menlo Park CA, US
Philip S. James - Lafayette CA, US

Assignee:

Lumenis, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

A61B018/18
A61N001/00

US Classification:

606 17, 607 88, 606 9, 606 10, 606 11

Abstract:

A method for delivering electromagnetic radiation onto tissue to be treated with the radiation includes delivering the radiation onto the tissue in a treatment-spot having a polygonal shape such as a rectangle or a hexagon. The polygonal shape is selected such that a region of the tissue to be treated can be completely covered by a plurality of such shapes essentially without overlapping the shapes. The radiation to be delivered is passed through a lightguide having a cross-section of the polygonal shape. Radiation exiting the lightguide is projected onto the tissue via a plurality of optical elements to provide the treatment-spot.

Inventors:

- Santa Ana CA, US
Dan Anderson - Menlo Park CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 9/008

Abstract:

As shown in the drawings for purposes of illustration, a method and system for making physical modifications to intraocular targets is disclosed. In varying embodiments, the method and system disclosed herein provide many advantages over the current standard of care. Specifically, linear absorption facilitated photodecomposition and linear absorption facilitated plasma generation to modify intraocular tissues and synthetic intraocular lenses.

Appl. No.:

15/601736

Inventors:

- SANTA ANA CA, US

Michael W. Wiltberger - Santa Clara CA, US
Dan Anderson - Menlo Park CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/16

Abstract:

A system and method for inserting an intraocular lens in a patient's eye includes a light source for generating a light beam, a scanner for deflecting the light beam to form an enclosed treatment pattern that includes a registration feature, and a delivery system for delivering the enclosed treatment pattern to target tissue in the patient's eye to form an enclosed incision therein having the registration feature. An intraocular lens is placed within the enclosed incision, wherein the intraocular lens has a registration feature that engages with the registration feature of the enclosed incision. Alternately, the scanner can make a separate registration incision for a post that is connected to the intraocular lens via a strut member.
