  • Patent number: 11497651
    Abstract: A remote ophthalmic system may include an examination device having a first processor, a robotic arm coupled to the first processor, an ophthalmic laser device, and a lens coupled to a distal end of the robotic arm and having one of a gonioscopy lens and a transequator lens. The one of the gonioscopy lens and the transequator lens may direct the ophthalmic laser device to different areas in an eye of a patient which are not accessible without the lens. The remote ophthalmic system also may include a remote control device being associated with a user being in communication with the examination device. The first processor may be configured to perform an ophthalmic procedure on the patient by applying the ophthalmic laser device based upon target values, and by positioning the lens via the robotic arm onto an eye of the patient to direct a laser beam from the ophthalmic laser device into portions of the eye of the patient.

  • Patent number: 10751216
    Abstract: A remote ophthalmic system may include an examination device having an ophthalmic laser device, and a first processor coupled to the ophthalmic laser device, a communication network, and a remote control device being associated with a user, being remote to the examination device, and being in communication with the examination device over the communication network. The first processor may be configured to receive target values for application of the ophthalmic laser device from the remote control device, the target values for application of the ophthalmic laser device being associated with an ophthalmic procedure on a patient, and perform the ophthalmic procedure on the patient by applying the ophthalmic laser device based upon the target values.

  • Publication number: 20050024859
    Abstract: A decorated luminary product includes a candle holder containing a candle, wherein at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the candle holder has a hammered texture such that light passing through the candle holder varies substantially as a result of variation of refraction of the light. A decorative web of a heat-shrinkable polymer may be heat shrunk to conform to the outer surface of the candle holder. The web is decorated with an ink or pigmentation to cooperate with light and/or heat emitted by burning the candle, so as to provide a pleasing visual effect when the candle is burned, while the hammered texture of the candle holder causes variations in the refraction of light emitted from the candle, causing further visual effects.
