Patent number: 7998135Abstract: A device for ophthalmologically treating the eye has a treatment laser beam (UV) for ablating parts of the cornea (12) and a fixation light beam (24). A fixation light spot in the vicinity of the fovea (30) and the fovea are imaged by means of a camera (40). This makes it possible to check whether the patient has reliably fixated the fixation light source (22). In addition, the pupil can be recorded and both recordings can be superimposed.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2006Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Wavelight Laser Technologie AGInventor: Christof Donitzky

Patent number: 7020378Abstract: A device for the generation of white light serves in particular for the illumination of the interior of the eye. A semiconductor laser (10?) emits radiation in the blue/violet/ultraviolet region of the spectrum, which is coupled into an optical waveguide (18?). The optical waveguide (18?) is doped with fluorescent dyes (26). By superposition of the fluorescent radiations white light is generated at the end (22?) of the optical waveguide.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2002Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: WaveLight Laser Technologie AGInventors: Hans Poisel, Thomas Herberger
