Abstract: A method for forming an incision in an eye, the method including performing a first pass of a first laser beam along a path within an eye, wherein after completion of the first pass there exists a residual uncut layer at an anterior surface of a cornea of the eye. The method further including performing a second pass of a second laser beam only along a portion of the path that contains the residual uncut layer, wherein after completion of the second pass, the residual uncut layer is transformed into a full complete through surface incision.
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.
Abstract: Devices to perform femtolaser ablation and phacoemulsification are physically and/or operationally combined. In some embodiments the femtolaser ablation and phacoemulsification are housed together, and in other embodiments they are housed separately, but operated through a common display screen. At least some software can be shared by the femtolaser ablation and phacoemulsification functionalities. A non-transitory computer-readable memory can provide data that can be used to operate each of at least one femtolaser ablation functionality and at least one phacoemulsification functionality.
Abstract: There is provided a system, apparatus and methods for developing laser systems that can create precise predetermined clear corneal incisions that are capable of reducing induced astigmatism. The systems, apparatus and methods further provide laser systems that can provide these incisions at or below Bowman's membrane.

Abstract: A method of generating three dimensional shapes for a cornea and lens of an eye, the method including illuminating an eye with multiple sections of light and obtaining multiple sectional images of said eye based on said multiple sections of light. For each one of the obtained multiple sectional images, the following processes are performed: a) automatically identifying arcs, in two-dimensional space, corresponding to anterior and posterior corneal and lens surfaces of the eye by image analysis and curve fitting of the one of the obtained multiple sectional images; and b) determining an intersection of lines ray traced back from the identified arcs in two-dimensional space with a known position of a section of space containing the section of light that generated the one of the obtained multiple sectional images, wherein the determined intersection defines a three-dimensional arc curve.
