Publication number: 20120059465Abstract: A support is coupled to the lens capsule to increase accommodation. The support may be adjustable, such that patient refraction and accommodation can be adjusted following surgery. The support may comprise rigidity sufficient to decrease radial movement of the intermediate portion of the lens capsule. The support can be placed on the intermediate portion to decrease radial movement of the intermediate portion of the lens capsule and increase radial stretching of an outer portion of the lens capsule extending between the zonules and the intermediate portion coupled to the support, such that the amount of accommodation of the eye is increased. The support may comprise a biocompatible material capable of stable coupling to the lens capsule following implantation, such that the far vision refraction and accommodation of the eye can be stable following surgery.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2011Publication date: March 8, 2012Applicant: Abbott Medical Optics Inc.Inventors: Daniel G. Brady, Zsolt Bor, Edward Geraghty, Brooke C. Basinger, Carina R. Reisin, Douglas S. Cali

Publication number: 20120059363Abstract: Methods and apparatus treat the lens capsule so as to increase accommodation of the eye. The treatment of the lens capsule may comprise treating a portion of the lens capsule so as to stiffen the treated portion and improve accommodation of the eye. The intermediate portion of the lens capsule may located between an optically used central portion of the lens capsule and a peripheral portion of the lens capsule connected to zonules of the eye. The stiffened intermediate portion of the lens capsule can improve coupling of the peripheral portion of the lens capsule to the central portion of the lens capsule, such that an amount of accommodation of the optically used central portion of the lens is increased. As the force of the lens capsule to a lens disposed within the lens capsule is increased, the lens may comprise the natural lens of the eye or an artificial lens such as an accommodative IOL.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2011Publication date: March 8, 2012Applicant: Abbott Medical Optics Inc.Inventors: Zsolt Bor, Daniel G.

Publication number: 20110040293Abstract: System and method of intrastromal refractive correction. The system includes a laser source operable to produce a pulsed beam, a scanner operable to direct the pulsed beam at the eye, and a controller coupled to the laser source and the scanner. The controller determines an intrastromal incision pattern based on a refractive condition of an eye, and directs the scanner to intrastromally incise the pattern in an applanated cornea with the pulsed beam. Following de-applanation, the cornea is reshaped in response to the intrastromal incision pattern to correct the refractive condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2010Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: AMO DEVELOPMENT LLC.Inventor: Zsolt Bor

Publication number: 20080062430Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method and system for determining the position and alignment of a plane in relation to an intersecting axis and using that known position and alignment to allow for corrections to be made when using the plane as a reference plane. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and system for determining the angle of tilt of a planar surface in relation to a laser beam, and using the determined angle of tilt to calculate a correction factor to be applied to the laser beam. Briefly stated, the method and system ultimately calculates a correction factor, z-offset, that is applied when using the laser beam in a procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2007Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: INTERLASE CORPORATIONInventors: Christopher Horvath, Ruben Zadoyan, Ferenc Raksi, Zsolt Bor, Guy Holland, Tibor Juhasz

Patent number: 7283575Abstract: An electric discharge, narrow band gas laser with improvements in wavelength stability. Improvements result from reduced laser beam directional fluctuations or fast correction of those fluctuations. Applicant has discovered, using an extremely sensitive knife edge optical technique, that gas discharge laser windows in a trapezoidal configuration were causing slight wavelength perturbations when laser gas density varied during laser operation. The optical technique involves using test laser beam directed through the discharge region of the gas discharge laser, blocking a portion of the beam with a knife edge and measuring the non-blocked portion of the beam to monitor beam deflection. With this technique, Applicant can measure beams deflection with an accuracy of about 0.3 microradians and with a time response of about 1 microsecond.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2004Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Cymer, Inc.Inventor: Zsolt Bor
