  • Publication number: 20260115043
    Abstract: Cataract surgery is in recent years more and more augmented and supported by the application of laser cuts in the eye tissue. Such laser systems are separate units from the phacoemulsification system units that are usually used for cataract extraction. The laser systems require the patient to be positioned under the laser unit and then being moved under the surgical microscope next to the phacoemulsification unit. The here described invention relates to systems combining several aspects of the laser system and the phacoemulsification system. In particular, this invention relates to combining at least some parts of the control system and the housing for both systems and thereby minimizing and optimizing setup time, operating room footprint, patient flow and cost. Furthermore the here disclosed invention relates to integrating the laser system under the surgical microscope and thereby significantly reducing the surgery setup and complexity.

  • Patent number: 12465436
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided that provide assistance in selecting appropriate interventions for treatment of disease and injury to the eye. Systems of the inventive concept provide cloud-based processing and storage of clinical and patient-specific data, which can provide treatment recommendations and projected outcomes to a practitioner using a local device. Systems, devices, and methods can generate interactive physiomechanical models of the eye of a specified individual, which are derived measurements of mechanical properties of structures of the eye. The physiomechanical model is interactive, and can be used to emulate the effects of one or more medical interventions in the eye in order to implement an optimized treatment plan for the individual.

  • Publication number: 20250228708
    Abstract: A method that includes illuminating an eye with light at a first time and a second time and generating a first image of the eye based on the light that illuminates the eye at the first time. The method includes generating a second image of the eye based on the light that illuminates the eye at the second time. The method further includes positioning a laser source relative to the eye, wherein the laser source generates a therapeutic laser beam to be directed to the eye, wherein the first time is just prior to the therapeutic laser beam being directed to the eye and the second time is prior to the first time. The method further includes correcting orientation of the laser source relative to the eye based on a correlation function that is defined for the first and second images of the eye.
