Abstract: A surgical tool for shearing tissue at a target surgical site, the surgical tool comprising a cannula assembly with a distal end and a proximal end, a cannula opening into the lumen of the cannula at the distal end, a cutting device coupled to the distal end and within the cannula opening, and an axial ball joint coupled to the proximal end of the cannula assembly, that when rotated, causes the cutting device at the distal end to rotate about a longitudinal axis passing axially through the lumen of the cannula assembly, so as to shear a portion of tissue at a target surgical site.

Abstract: A method includes, using a laser, thinning a target site in an iris of an eye by irradiating the target site with one or more first radiation-pulses. Subsequently to thinning the target site, a peak intensity of radiation beams emitted by the laser is increased and, subsequently to increasing the peak intensity, a hole is formed through the target site by, using the laser, irradiating the target site with one or more second radiation-pulses.

Abstract: An apparatus for screening, treatment, monitoring and/or assessment of visual impairments, comprising electronic means for simultaneously applying two separate and unrelated processing methods to images presented to a patient's eyes: a first processing method being applied to an non-amblyopic eye (the eye with the better vision), and a second processing method being applied to an amblyopic eye (the weaker eye, or the impaired eye). A method for screening, treatment, monitoring and/or assessment of visual impairments, comprising: a. defining a starting point, wherein differences between a patient's eyes are completely, or as closely as practically possible, corrected, to enable two identical or similar images to be transferred to the brain from the patient's eyes; b. defining an ending point, wherein there is no correction applied to any of the patient's eyes; c.

The platform has an axis that defines opposing anterior and posterior axial directions. The platform includes a framework formed about the axis and the framework has anterior and posterior openings at respective anterior and posterior sides. The platform includes also a hollow conduit that extends through the framework while passing through the anterior and posterior openings.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices useful for imaging blood-containing tissue, for example for angiography, especially retinal angiography, whereby an image is generated by dividing pixels of an image acquired at some wavelength range by corresponding pixels of an image acquired at a different wavelength range. In some embodiments, a first wavelength range includes predominantly light having wavelengths between about 400 nm and about 620 nm and a second wavelength range includes predominantly light having wavelengths between about 620 nm and about 800 nm.

Abstract: A system for improving a patient's vision, comprising means for diagnosing and monitoring a deterioration in macular vision or macular vision loss in the patient's eye, and means for augmenting the use of a preferred retinal location (PRL) and eccentric fixation in case the deterioration in macular vision or macular vision loss was detected. A method for improving a patient's vision, comprising: diagnosing and monitoring a deterioration in macular vision or macular vision loss in the patient's eye; and augmenting the use of a preferred retinal location (PRL) and eccentric fixation in case the deterioration in macular vision or macular vision loss was detected.

Abstract: Apparatus for medical treatment includes a laser source, which is configured to output a beam of laser radiation. An optical device is configured to direct the laser radiation to impinge on a limbal area of an eye with optical properties chosen so as to apply a desired treatment to a tissue structure associated with a cornea of the eye within the limbal area.

Abstract: A system (20) includes a radiation source (48) and a controller (44). The controller is configured to define a treatment zone (88) on a capsule (86) of an eye (25) of a subject (22), and to form an opening (96) in the capsule, subsequently to defining the treatment zone, by irradiating multiple target regions (94) within the treatment zone in an iterative process that includes, during each one of multiple iterations of the process, acquiring an image (98) of at least part of the capsule, designating one of the target regions based on the acquired image, and causing the radiation source to irradiate the designated target region. Other embodiments are also described.
