  • Patent number: 10736503
    Abstract: A method of determining at least one selection parameter for selecting an intraocular lens to be inserted into an eye; the method comprises reading, by a data processing system, data indicative of an axial position of at least a portion of an anterior surface of an at least partially empty capsular bag of the eye, relative to an optical axis of the eye. The method further comprises determining an axial position parameter, which is representative of the axial position of the portion of the anterior surface, depending on the data. The method further comprises determining the at least one selection parameter for selecting the intraocular lens depending on the determined position parameter.

  • Patent number: 9919081
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an ophthalmology microscopy-system and a method of operating an ophthalmology microscopy-system which allow for an at least partial or full removal of liquids and gels used in ophthalmology for application in an eye of a patient in an particularly efficient way. Further embodiments relate to a product such as a liquid or a gel usable for an application in an eye of a patient, wherein the product has a high transmittance and, nevertheless, may be made visible particularly well.

  • Patent number: 9538914
    Abstract: An ophthalmology microscopy system for observing fluorescence comprises an imaging system and an illumination system. The imaging system provides at least one optical imaging path producing a magnified multi-dimensional image of an object disposable in a focal plane of the imaging system, and comprises at least one optical observation filter. The illumination system provides an illumination beam path intersecting the focal plane of the imaging system at a variable angle of less than 90°. The microscopy system comprises first and second operating states. In the first operating state, radiation passing through the illumination beam path has at least in a section along the illumination beam path a spectrum free of a pass band of the observation filter. In the second operating state, radiation passing through the illumination beam path has a spectrum having a bandwidth of at least 200 nm in a range from 380 nm to 780 nm.

  • Patent number: 9462944
    Abstract: A surgical microscopy system comprises microscopy optics for generating an image of an eye under surgery. A pattern generator generates a pattern to be superimposed with the image. An eye-tracker is provided for tracking a position of the superimposed pattern with respect to the image in case of a movement of the eye. The superimposed pattern comprises pattern elements that are equally distributed on first and second circles of different sizes, in order to give assistance when placing a suture during a corneal transplant. The superimposed pattern may also provide an assistance for orientating a toric intra-ocular lens.

  • Patent number: 8708488
    Abstract: A method for carrying out eye surgery comprises a comparison of images recorded before surgery with images recorded during surgery in order to generate a marker which represents a target orientation of an intraocular lens or a difference between a current orientation and the target orientation of the intraocular lens. An eye surgery system respectively comprises an imaging system which is used during a surgery and has a camera, and a diagnostic system which is used before surgery and which also has a camera. The imaging system used during surgery comprises an image processing device in order to perform a computation based on the recorded images, and in order to determine a respective orientation value, from which a representation of a marker representing the target orientation of the intraocular lens is obtained.

  • Patent number: 7907336
    Abstract: A surgical microscope (100) has an illuminating arrangement (110) which can guide illuminating light to the object region (105) with a first illuminating beam path (111) and with a second illuminating beam path (112). A light exit unit is provided in the first illuminating beam path (111). An illuminating field diaphragm is mounted in the second illuminating beam path. The first illuminating beam path (111) has an illuminating optic which images the light exit plane of the light exit unit or a plane conjugated to the light exit plane into a first image plane (350). An illuminating optic is provided in the second illuminating beam path (112) and this illuminating optic images the illuminating field diaphragm into a second image plane (250) different from the first image plane.
