Patent number: 11786404Abstract: Laser assisted cataract surgery methods and devices utilize one or more treatment laser beams to create a shaped opening in the anterior lens capsule of the eye when performing a capsulorrhexis procedure. A light absorbing agent may be applied to the anterior lens capsule to facilitate laser thermal separation of tissue along a treatment beam path on the lens capsule. Relative or absolute reflectance from the eye, and optionally from a surgical contact lens, may be measured to confirm and optionally quantify the presence of the light absorbing agent, before the treatment beam is applied.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2017Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: EXCEL-LENS, Inc.Inventor: David Mordaunt

Patent number: 10806536Abstract: Apparatus and methods combine light emitted by a narrow band laser having a peak emission wavelength greater than or equal to about 480 nm with light emitted from one or more additional light sources to provide an illumination beam for illumination inside a human or animal during a diagnostic or surgical procedure. The narrow band laser provides the shortest wavelength contribution to the illumination beam.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2015Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: EOS Holdings, LLCInventor: David Mordaunt

Patent number: 10617564Abstract: A system and method for treating a lesion on target tissue that includes a visualization device for capturing an image of target tissue containing a lesion, a light source for generating a light beam, a scanner for deflecting the light beam in the form of a treatment pattern, and a controller for determining boundaries of the lesion from the captured image, and for controlling the scanner to project the treatment pattern onto the target tissue and within the boundaries of the lesion. An alignment light source can be used to generate an alignment light beam, such that the scanner deflects the alignment light beam in the form of an alignment pattern. The controller controls the scanner to project the alignment pattern onto the target tissue to visually indicate a position of the treatment pattern on the target tissue.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Dan Andersen, David Mordaunt

Publication number: 20190314202Abstract: Laser assisted cataract surgery methods and devices utilize one or more treatment laser beams to create a shaped opening in the anterior lens capsule of the eye when performing a capsulotomy procedure. The visual axis of the eye may be determined, during surgery for example, with a laser beam on which the patient is fixated. The capsulotomy may be centered on the identified visual axis. This enables the use of capsulotomy-centering IOLs centered on or in close proximity to the visual axis. The orientation of a toric IOL may be assessed during or after placement by observing the reflection from the back of the eye of a laser beam on which the patient is fixated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2017Publication date: October 17, 2019Inventor: David MORDAUNT

Patent number: 10231872Abstract: Laser assisted cataract surgery methods and devices utilizing one or more treatment laser beams to create a shaped opening in the anterior lens capsule of the eye when performing a capsulorrhexis procedure. A light absorbing agent may optionally be added onto or into the lens capsule tissue, and the treatment laser wavelength selected to be strongly absorbed by the light absorbing agent. Alternatively, the treatment laser wavelength may be selected to be absorbed or strongly absorbed by the tissue itself, in which case no additional light absorbing agent need be used. Visualization patterns produced with one or more target laser beams may be projected onto the lens capsule tissue to aid in the procedure. The devices may be attached to or integrated with microscopes.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2014Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: EXCEL-LENS, INC.Inventor: David Mordaunt
