  • Publication number: 20230389990
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intraocular lens selection include receiving, by one or more computing devices implementing a prediction engine, pre-operative multi-dimensional images of an eye; extracting, by the prediction engine, pre-operative measurements of the eye based on the pre-operative images; estimating, by the prediction engine using a prediction model based on a machine learning strategy, a post-operative position of an intraocular lens based on the extracted pre-operative measurements; selecting a power of the intraocular lens based on the estimated post-operative position of the intraocular lens; and selecting the intraocular lens based on the selected power. In some embodiments, the systems and methods further include receiving post-operative multi-dimensional images of the eye after implantation of the selected intraocular lens, extracting post-operative measurements of the eye, and updating the prediction model based on the pre-operative measurements and the post-operative measurements.

  • Publication number: 20210401624
    Abstract: A laser surgical system comprises a laser source, scanners, delivery optics, and a computer. The laser source generates a beam of femtosecond laser pulses. The scanners direct focus spots of the beam towards points of a cornea. The delivery optics focuses the focus spots at the points of the cornea. The computer creates an incision in the cornea by instructing the optics and scanners to: direct and focus the focus spots from a posterior corneal surface, through a convex curve and a concave curve, to an anterior corneal surface to form an S-curve incision with a posterior end and an anterior end. The S-curve incision has a substantially non-planar rectangular shape with a longer side that extends from the posterior end to the anterior end and defines a longer direction. A cross-section of the incision in the longer direction exhibits the convex curve and the concave curve.

  • Publication number: 20210369500
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for correcting higher-order aberrations including providing a laser radiation. The method also includes controlling a location of a beam focal point of the laser radiation by a system of scanners and guiding the beam focal point in such a way that the location of the beam focal point is in a cornea of an eye. The method further includes introducing the laser radiation into the cornea of the eye. The method includes cutting a lenslet, wherein a thickness of the lenslet t(X/Y) satisfies a following equation: t(X/Y)=t0+?t(X,Y)/(n?1), where ?t(X,Y) represents a higher-order wavefront elevation and to represents the thickness of the lenslet having a spherical refractive power of D.

  • Publication number: 20020193704
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for computer-controlled photodisruption of tissue of the eye is provided. Instrument software is implemented on a computer-based laser system to control operation of the laser system and provide managed, secured control of photodisruption procedures. The instrument software is configured for the display of an image of a patient's eye within a graphical user interface of the instrument software. Parameters for both horizontal and vertical resections are selectable by the user of the instrument software. The parameters are used to control procedures for the photodisruption of tissue of the eye. In addition to the performance of photodisruption procedures, the instrument software provides for maintenance, security, calibration, and error monitoring functions.
