Patent number: 12161549Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for assisting eye-care professionals in intraocular lens implantation planning in a two-stage process. During the first stage, first biometric data of a patient's eye is obtained. A first set of lens products comprising a first lens product is determined based on the first biometric data. A first grid is provided via the GUI to present the first set of lens products. During the second stage, second biometric data of the eye is obtained after an existing lens of the patient's eye is removed. A second set of lens products comprising a second lens product is determined based on the second biometric data. A second grid is provided via the GUI to present the second set of lens products and a difference between the first and second lens products.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2020Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Alcon Inc.Inventor: David Thoe

Patent number: 7983771Abstract: A graphical user interface for use in an ocular surgical system, such as phacoemulsification and vitreo-retinal surgical systems. A display screen shows a display element that includes a representation of a parameter of pulses generated by the ocular surgical system relative to a position of the controller. A window is displayed on the display screen and generated in response to touching the display screen of the ocular surgical system. The window includes a display element having a value of a parameter of the system. A value of the parameter is changed by touching the display screen at the adjustment element. The window can also include a representation of the parameter of the pulses relative to the position of the controller and an adjustment element for changing a value of the parameter represented in the display element. The representation in the window can be linear or non-linear, indicating the function of the parameter relative to a position of a controller, such as a foot pedal.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2005Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Mikhail Boukhny, David Thoe, Nam (Gus) H.

Patent number: 7945341Abstract: A graphical user interface for use in phacoemulsification surgical systems that allows a user to select different pulse modes by touching portions of the display screen. The user interface includes first and second display elements. One display element includes a representation of the on-time of the pulses, and the other display element includes a representation of the off-time. The representations show how the on-time and off-time change relative to a position of a controller, such as a foot pedal. The representation show a constant time, or that a time increases or decreases as the foot pedal is pressed. To select a pulse mode, a user can scroll through different pulse representations by touching the screen at the display elements. The selected pulse mode can be continuous, pulse, burst and other modes.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Alcon, Inc.Inventors: Mikhail Boukhny, David Thoe
