Abstract: An apparatus for medical treatment includes a gonioscope having a distal face for placement in proximity to a patient's eye, a proximal face opposite the distal face, and multiple facets between the distal and proximal faces. The apparatus also includes a laser to generate a beam, a scanner to direct the beam through the proximal face of the gonioscope to reflect from a facet into an anterior chamber of the eye, at least one slit lamp to project sheets of light into the eye through the gonioscope, a camera to capture, through the gonioscope, an image of an illumination pattern cast on the eye by the sheet of light. A processor processes the image so as to identify a location of an anatomical structure in the eye, selects targets in the eye based on the identified location, and controls the scanner so that the beam impinges on the targets.

Abstract: A system (20) includes a radiation source (48) and a controller (44). The controller is configured to define a treatment zone (88) on a capsule (86) of an eye (25) of a subject (22), and to form an opening (96) in the capsule, subsequently to defining the treatment zone, by irradiating multiple target regions (94) within the treatment zone in an iterative process that includes, during each one of multiple iterations of the process, acquiring an image (98) of at least part of the capsule, designating one of the target regions based on the acquired image, and causing the radiation source to irradiate the designated target region. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an optical unit (30), including a light source (66), one or more beam-directing elements (50, 56), and a radiation source (48). The radiation source is configured to irradiate an eye (25) of a patient (22) with one or more treatment beams (52) by emitting the treatment beams toward the beam-directing elements, while the eye fixates on the light source by virtue of the light source transmitting visible light (68). The apparatus further includes an optical filter (70) configured to inhibit passage of the treatment beams, but not the visible light, therethrough, while interposing between the beam-directing elements and a pupil (104) of the eye. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A system includes a radiation source and a controller. The controller is configured to designate, for irradiation, multiple target regions on an eye of a patient, and to perform an iterative process that includes, during each iteration of the process, acquiring an image of the eye, based on the image, calculating a location of a different respective one of the target regions, processing the image so as to identify any obstruction at the location, and provided no obstruction at the location is identified, causing the radiation source to irradiate the location. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A system includes a radiation source, one or more beam-directing elements, and a controller. The controller is configured to cause the radiation source to emit one or more aiming beams at the beam-directing elements such that the aiming beams are directed, by the beam-directing elements, toward an eye of a patient, to verify that each of the aiming beams is properly directed by the beam-directing elements, and, in response to verifying that each of the aiming beams is properly directed by the beam-directing elements, to treat the eye by causing the radiation source to irradiate one or more target regions of the eye with respective treatment beams. Other embodiments are also described.
