Scans reference area markings to determine laser focus position, eliminating mechanical focusing movements and reducing metrological effort.
Electronic image manipulation suppresses laser stray light in surgical apparatuses, preventing overexposure and color falsification without mechanical filters.
A virtual aperture scatters optical rays across the retina to reduce monochromatic and chromatic aberrations in intraocular lenses.
Integrating standby and firing switches into one footswitch allows surgeons to control laser states independently, eliminating assistant dependency.
A self-sealing scleral flap design replaces traditional sutures in trabeculectomy procedures to maintain filtration channel integrity.
A validation system compares intended optical refractions with expected values derived from simulated ablation profiles to qualify treatment tables.
An illuminated vitrectomy cutter uses a movable light sleeve to adjust the illumination aperture, eliminating separate probes and adapting to surgical needs.
A probe tip assembly uses a nitinol guiding member and straightening tube to steer laser beams within the eye.
Temperature feedback compensates for thermal expansion and manufacturing tolerances in ophthalmic laser surgery apparatus.
A laser system forms a corneal lenticule with a protruding side tab to enable direct instrument grasping.
Integrated surgical device merges femtolaser ablation with phacoemulsification to eliminate patient translocation and reduce procedure time.
Segmenting the laser probe into reusable handles and disposable optic fibers reduces ophthalmic treatment costs while maintaining surgical sterility.
Align intraocular lens transverse planes perpendicular to the ophthalmic system axis with a movable fixation target, enabling precise laser power adjustments.
Segmented laser incisions form a wedge-shaped valve flap that maintains wound closure and prevents aqueous humor drainage under external pressure.
A steerable laser probe curves an optic fiber via a shape memory sleeve, enabling multi-location targeting in the eye without complex mechanical linkages.
Asymmetric convex geometry suppresses incision drawing and enables self-closing during intraocular lens insertion.
