Systems and methods for manufacturing ocular implants

Abstract

In certain embodiments, a system for manufacturing an ocular implant includes a laser, a camera, and a computer. The laser emits a laser beam to shape a material. The camera generates one or more images to monitor the shaping of the material. The computer stores a pattern for the implant designed to provide refractive treatment for the eye, sends instructions to the laser to control the laser beam to shape the material according to the pattern, evaluates the image from the camera according to the pattern, and adjusts the instructions in response to the image.
