Abstract: A voice control system for ophthalmologic laser treatment systems sets parameters for delivering laser energy based on voice commands and prevents potentially harmful parameters due to operator mistakes and misunderstood voice commands by providing incremental parameter adjustment and restricting the amount by which the parameters can be adjusted for each executed voice command. Valid voice commands include indications of which parameter to set, a value for the parameter, and whether to increase or decrease the value of the parameter. In one example, parameter values can only be increased or decreased by a certain percentage with respect to the current value. In another example, the parameters are adjusted by selecting the next highest or lowest value with respect to the current parameter value from a predetermined sequence of possible values for particular parameters. Voice control functionality can also be deactivated under certain conditions such as when it is determined that a parameter was not set.

Abstract: An ophthalmic laser treatment delivers patterned laser energy to an eye of a patient. A pattern-scanning laser device of the laser treatment system includes a laser module, a scanning module and delivery optics. The laser module generates laser energy (e.g. via a green laser diode), which is directed to the scanning module via a fiber optic cable. The scanning module produces the patterned laser energy by reflecting the laser energy into the delivery optics at different angles via a dielectric MEMS scanning mirror. The delivery optics includes an F-theta lens, a motorized and wirelessly-controlled spot-size selector module, and a focusing lens. A mobile computing device receives parameter information via a graphical user interface or voice control and sends the parameter information to the pattern-scanning laser device. In response to receiving activation signals from an activation unit, the pattern-scanning laser device emits the patterned laser energy based on the parameter information.

Abstract: A laser module produces pulsed laser energy in a wavelength range of 495-580 nm based on duration, peak power, and interval parameter information. An envelope timer controls the total duration of all micropulses based on the duration and interval parameters via a pulse-width modulated (PWM) output to a micropulse timer, which in turn outputs a PWM micropulse signal. A light emitting diode driver outputs a laser current through a diode based on the micropulse signal and a dimming signal to produce the pulsed laser energy. The integrator compares a signal corresponding to a detected power level of the laser energy to a signal corresponding to the peak power parameter and outputs the dimming signal. The resulting micropulse durations are in the range of 50 to 300 microseconds for periods of about 2 milliseconds, with a duty cycle ranging from 5 to 15%. The overall pulse parameters are duration from 10 microseconds to 1.5 seconds, with periods of any value.
