  • Patent number: 7465299
    Abstract: In a laser eye treatment apparatus, a probe light source generates a secondary emitted light emanating from a treatment area of retinal tissue that is irradiated by a treatment light source. An optical detector detects the secondary emitted light. A processor statistically analyzes the secondary emitted light to determine a temperature of the treatment area of retinal tissue.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050157260
    Abstract: A stereoscopic imaging lens includes a first lens set and a second lens set. The lens receives collimated laser light from the scanning laser ophthalmoscope and, focuses on the fundus of the eye. By use of a prism set, two offset images are provided to the scanning laser ophthalmoscope. The system provides virtually simulatneous side-by-side but offset images that can be viewed with a stereoscopic viewing device, which provides apparent depth perception.

  • Publication number: 20030103191
    Abstract: A lens system for use with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope to produce a wide field of view includes a first lens set and a second lens set. The first lens set provides an aerial image of the fundus of an eye along an aerial image plane anterior to the first lens set. A second lens focuses laser light from a scanning laser ophthalmoscope on the aerial image, which is then refocused by the first lens set on the fundus. The second lens set also receives and provides reflected light focused at the aerial image and redirects it to the entrance pupil of the ophthalmoscope in a substantially collimated form.
