Patent number: 8262646Abstract: A system and method for increasing the amplitude of accommodation and/or changing the refractive power of lens material of a natural crystalline lens is provided. Generally, there is provided methods and systems for delivering a laser beam to a lens of an eye in a plurality of sectional patterns results in the shaped structural weakening of the lens. There is also provided a method and system for determining adjustments to refractive errors in the lens of an eye relating to the treatment of presbyopia. The change to refractive error can be a predicted error or an actual error that has been determined.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2006Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: LensAr, Inc.Inventors: Rudolph W.

Patent number: 5267188Abstract: A multi-channel acousto-optic spectrometer employs a multi-channel Bragg cell, Fourier transform imaging optics and two-dimensional charge coupled device photodetector array to simultaneously process a plurality of parallel channels of respectively adjacent frequency bands of a wideband radio frequency signal. The signal modulation and optical transmission characteristics of the spectrometer are such that the respective acousto-optic channels to which the respective sub-bands portions of the signal are applied do not interfere with one another and are imaged upon closely spaced regions of the two-dimensional photodetector array.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1992Date of Patent: November 30, 1993Assignee: Photonic Systems, Inc.Inventors: Dennis R.
