Patent number: 10092445Abstract: An ophthalmological apparatus includes a base station having a light source generating light pulses, and an application head mountable on an eye having a light projector for focussed projection of the light pulses for punctiform breakdown of eye tissue. The application head has movement drivers moving the light projector in a feed direction and a first scanning direction. A scanner in the base station deflects the light pulses in a second scanning direction. The ophthalmological apparatus includes an optical transmission system transmitting deflected light pulses from the base station to the application head, and superimposing the light pulses deflected in the second scanning direction onto the movement of the light projector in the first scanning direction. Light sources with high light pulse rates, for example femtosecond lasers may be used, without impractical enlargement of the size of the application head.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: SIE AG SURGICAL INSTRUMENT ENGINEERINGInventors: Christian Rathjen, Wolfgang Zesch, Karl Michael Deyerler, Holger Lubatschowski, Tammo Ripken
