  • Publication number: 20250186259
    Abstract: In a femtosecond ophthalmic laser system which employs a high frequency resonant scanner to produce a laser scanline and XY and Z scanners to move the scanline in a patient's eye to perform eye surgery, a beam blocking member is placed near an internal focus plane of the optical system to block some of the beam paths to truncate the laser scanline at the two ends. This eliminates the closely spaced or overlapping laser focus spots near the ends of the scanline. The beam blocking member has a plate shape with one or more apertures of different shapes or sizes, and is movable in the transverse direction to different positions to block different amounts of the scanline.

  • Patent number: 12310895
    Abstract: A method implemented in an ophthalmic surgical laser system for forming a corneal flap in a patient's eye with improved bubble management. The flap includes a horizontal bed and a vertical or near vertical side cut around the periphery of the bed except for an uncut hinge area. The side cut has a bubble barrier layer that can prevent bubbles formed by the laser-tissue interaction from escaping into an interface between the corneal and the patient interface lens. In some embodiments, the bubble barrier layer is a thin uncut layer, located in the epithelium of the cornea, that separates the side cut into two portions. In other embodiments, the side cut does not reach the anterior corneal surface, leaving an uncut bubble barrier layer located with the epithelium. In other embodiments, an additional side cut portion is formed through the uncut bubble barrier layer as the last step.

  • Patent number: 12290474
    Abstract: A ophthalmic laser-assisted corneal lenticule extraction procedure that uses wavefront measurements to guide the formation of the corneal lenticule. The wavefront map measured from a free eye using a wavefront aberrometer is registered to the cornea of a docked eye based on comparisons of iris images and corneal markings. The docked-eye cornea-registered wavefront map is then corrected to be consistent with the Munnerlyn formula for the spherical power, and adjusted for any physician adjustments and/or myopia error due to a flat add in the lenticule, using Zernike polynomials. The corrected and adjusted wavefront map is then used to calculate the profiles of the bottom and top lenticule incisions in the applanated cornea, where higher-order components in the wavefront map are distributed to the bottom lenticule incision alone and lower-order components in the wavefront map are distributed to both the bottom and the top lenticule incision.

  • Publication number: 20250073081
    Abstract: In a femtosecond laser eye surgery system where beam delivery is accomplished with a moving objective, a dual-channel imaging system allows real-time procedure visualization before and during incision. The first (docking) imaging channel covers a full field of view (FoV) of the eye, e.g., 13 mm; the second (cutting) imaging channel is through the objective and moves with it, and covers a smaller FoV, e.g., 2 mm. During eye docking and undocking, the objective is moved to a parking position out of the visual field of the docking imaging channel, and the latter operates to provide process visualization. During incision, a composite eye image is displayed, composed of a stationary image captured by the docking imaging channel before treatment began overlayed with live cutting images captured by the cutting imaging channel. The live cutting images are compared to the stationary image in real time to detect eye movement.

  • Publication number: 20250073080
    Abstract: An ophthalmic surgical laser system and method for forming a lenticule in a subject's eye using “fast-scan-slow-sweep” scanning scheme. A high frequency scanner forms a fast scan line, which is placed tangential to a parallel of latitude of the surface of the lenticule and then then moved in a slow sweep trajectory along a meridian of longitude of the surface of the lenticule in one sweep. Multiple sweeps are performed along different meridians to form the entire lenticule surface, with the orientation of the scan line rotated between successive sweeps. To generate tissue bridge free incisions without leaving laser-induced marks in the eye, a laser pulse energy between 40 nJ to 70 nJ is used, and the sweeping speed is controlled such that the scan line step (the distance between the centers of consecutive scan lines) is between 1.7 ?m and 2.3 ?m.

  • Patent number: 12216272
    Abstract: An ophthalmic laser system uses a non-confocal configuration to determine a laser beam focus position relative to the patient interface (PI) surface. The system includes a light intensity detector with no confocal lens or pinhole between the detector and the objective lens. When the objective focuses the light to a target focus point inside the PI lens at a particular offset from its distal surface, the light signal at the detector peaks. The offset value is determined by fixed system parameters, and can also be empirically determined by directly measuring the PI lens surface by observing the effect of plasma formation at the glass surface. During ophthalmic procedures, the laser focus is first scanned insider the PI lens, and the target focus point location is determined from the peak of the detector signal. The known offset value is then added to obtain the location of the PI lens surface.

  • Publication number: 20240374428
    Abstract: During laser ophthalmic procedures, back-reflected treatment laser light is detected by an auto-Z module and analyzed in real-time to determine various aspects of laser-tissue interaction during the procedure. This method can detect the presence of “black spots” (locations where no laser-tissue interaction occurred), sub-optimal incision quality, etc. in real time, and allows for dynamical adjustment of the laser treatment parameters such as pulse energy, laser spot separation, etc. to correct the detected problems. The auto-Z signal analysis may also depend on which incision segment or region is currently being cut, to optimally control different cutting segments. This method improves corneal incision quality and helps to achieves consistent laser-tissue interaction from patient to patient.

  • Patent number: 12128497
    Abstract: An ophthalmic laser surgical system has a built-in imaging sensor for measuring laser focal spot size. An objective lens focuses the laser beam to a focal spot near a reflective surface, scans the focal spot in the depth direction, and focuses light reflected by the reflective surface to form a back-reflected light. A two-dimensional imaging sensor receives a sample of the back-reflected light to generate images of the back-reflected light. During the depth scan, the image contains a well-focused light spot when the laser focal spot is located at a fixed offset distance before the reflective surface, but the light spot in the images is otherwise defocused. The images generated during the scan are analyzed to find the smallest light spot size among the images. The laser focal spot size is then calculated from the smallest light spot size using a magnification factor which is a system constant.

  • Patent number: 12121476
    Abstract: An ophthalmic laser system and related method for forming a lenticular incision in a corneal lenticule extraction procedure. The lenticular incision is formed by multiple sweeps of a laser scan line along meridians of longitude of the lenticular incision, where the end point of each sweep is connected to the start point of the next sweep by a smooth turning trajectory. The trajectory includes a first circular arc tangentially connected to the first sweep at its end point, a second circular arc tangentially connected to the next sweep at its start point, and a straight line segment tangentially connected to both circular arcs. The smooth trajectory is determined with the given limits of velocity, acceleration and jerk of the XY scanning motors, without using high frequency filters to smooth the trajectory, thereby avoiding unknown changes to the original trajectory and achieving high precision lenticule shapes.
