  • Patent number: 10758415
    Abstract: A method and system for spot size selection wherein an indication of a spot size selection is received and a spot size is generated corresponding to the spot size selection by propagating an optical signal via one of the claddings of a dual-clad optical fiber. The system for spot size selection includes a plurality of lens arrays, at least one galvanometer, and a plurality of dual-clad fibers to propagate an optical signal from one of the plurality of lens arrays.

  • Patent number: 9642747
    Abstract: Systems and processes are described relating to laser-based ophthalmic intervention technologies and, more specifically, to techniques for delivering reproducible amounts of laser energy to create visible and sub-visible lesions on an eye. The subject technology may provide a user with the ability to adjust the amount of energy to be delivered to the eye tissue by selecting a single numerical value. In response, the system may adjust the power and/or duration of the laser treatment beam pulse according to an operating curve determined by the system.

  • Publication number: 20150157198
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for an ophthalmic imaging system are provided. An ophthalmic illumination system with a micro-display projector based head-up display is provided. In accordance with an embodiment, a first optical element is configured to direct light from a light source upon an eye to be examined. A micro-display projector is configured to generate a micro-display image including information associated with the eye to be examined. A third optical element is configured to receive reflected light from the eye resulting from the light directed upon the eye, receive the micro-display image, and transmit at least a portion of the reflected light and at least a portion of light from the micro-display image.

  • Publication number: 20150085254
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for a micro-display based slit lamp illumination system are provided. A first optical element is configured to generate a micro-display image including an illuminated area. A second optical element is configured to receive the micro-display image, and focus the micro-display image upon an eye to be examined, wherein light is reflected from the eye as a result of the illuminated area.
