Processor generates real-time histograms of suction cone position to replace visual inspection and reduce placement errors.
A control method adjusts laser target coordinates to account for corneal deformation caused by contact glass pressure during eye surgery.
A hollow needle applicator generates pressure pulses via laser-induced plasma to remove epithelial cells from the lens capsular bag.
Segmented thermal incisions and nested instrument design resolve trade-offs between surgical precision and structural stability during cataract procedures.
Miniaturizing the fragmatome to 23-gauge eliminates large incisions and suturing, reducing patient trauma while maintaining complete fragment removal.
A deformable dispersive mirror adjusts its shape to compensate for spatial variations in group delay across a scanning optical system.
A single-piece patient interface device integrates a hollow shell, applanation lens, and flexible skirt for ophthalmic laser surgery.
Short-duration high-power pulses modify immune privilege status in pigmented epithelium, eliciting beneficial immune response without lasting tissue damage.
Transparent segments in the suction ring allow SHG and THG detection, resolving vacuum sealing conflicts.
A closed-loop video system positions the patient relative to a camera objective, enabling accurate astigmatic axis determination without manual intervention.
