US Patent:

8414123, Apr 9, 2013

Filed:

Aug 11, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/189482

Inventors:

Mikhail Boukhny - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Steven Bott - Oviedo FL, US

Assignee:

Novartis AG - Basel

International Classification:

A61B 3/10
A61B 3/00
A61F 9/00

US Classification:

351212, 351246, 606107

Abstract:

Proper selection and centering of an intraocular lens (IOL) is provided. An image of an eye, which may be captured during pre-operative tests and provided to a program operable to calculate the power and axis orientation of the IOL, is used to determine the location and orientation of the IOL. This produces an output or placement guide used to properly center and orient an IOL within the eye.

Appl. No.:

12/509021

Inventors:

Rudolph W. Frey - Maitland FL, US
Steven E. Bott - Oviedo FL, US
Gerrit N. Porter - Winter Springs FL, US

Assignee:

LensAR, Inc. - Orlando FL

International Classification:

A61B 18/20

US Classification:

606 4, 351245

Abstract:

There is provided a device for use as an interface between a laser surgery device and the eye of a patient. The device is filled with a liquid that matches the index of refraction of the eye. The device further has a curved lens that follows the curvature of the outer surface of the patient's eye. In this manner the interface device, through which the laser beam must travel, has essentially the same index of refraction as the eye.

A61B 18/18

US Classification:

351208, 351246, 606 4

Abstract:

An alignment device including means for releasably attaching a suction ring and means for applying a pattern of light to an eye of a patient. The alignment device further including means for detecting light reflected from the eye and determining whether the suction ring is aligned relative to the eye based on the detected light.

International Classification:

A61B018/20

US Classification:

606005000, 606010000

Abstract:

A system and method for tracking ocular changes during a surgical procedure include directing an eye-safe optical beam toward an undilated, unparalyzed eye. A reflected optical beam is detected, and measurements are performed based upon data contained in the reflected optical beam of at least one geometric parameter of the eye at a predetermined frequency, and from them is calculated a change in the at least one geometric parameter. The calculated change is used to dynamically adjust the directing of laser beam shots during the surgery.

International Classification:

H01S 3/22

US Classification:

372 55

Abstract:

A gas-purged laser system and method of gas-purging a laser system are disclosed. One embodiment of the laser system comprises an excimer refractive surgical laser system having a laser beam optical path configured to allow purging of a portion of a volume enclosing the laser beam optical path with a gas, and a gas generator, operable to generate the purging gas and provide the gas to the volume portion. The portion of the volume can be the entire volume enclosing the laser beam optical path or a selected portion thereof. The gas can be nitrogen gas and the gas generator can be a self-contained nitrogen generator as will be known to those having skill in the art. Embodiments can further comprise a controller for controlling the flow of purging gas in response to received signals representative of various parameters, such as temperature, oxygen level, pressure, humidity and flow rate.

Steven E. Bott - Oviedo FL, US

International Classification:

A61F 9/008
A61B 18/20

US Classification:

606 6

Abstract:

There is provided a system and method for creating a layer of bubbles in the posterior portion of the lens of the eye. This layer of bubbles in the posterior portion of the lens functions as a shield protection structures of the eye that are located posteriorly from the lens from being damaged or injured by the use of the laser in subsequent activities upon the lens, such as the performance of a laser assisted capsulotomy. Thus, the bubble shield reduces the risk to posterior structures during laser procedures on the lens of the eye.
