Abstract: An insertion system for inserting an IOL int a patient's eye is provided. The insertion system includes a pusher and an introducer sheath with a back housing and a front housing. The front housing includes a longitudinally extending IOL rolling member with a proximal section, an intermediate section, a distal section and a longitudinally extending lumen defined by an upper face and a lower face. The lower face has opposing inner peripheral edges. The radius of curvature of the upper face and the lower face decreases from the proximal section to the distal section and the distance between the opposing inner peripheral edges decreases from the proximal section to the distal section.

Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging systems are provided including a source of broadband optical radiation coupled to a sample arm of the OCT imaging system; a beam shaping optical assembly in the sample arm, the beam shaping optical assembly being configured to receive optical radiation from the source as a beam of optical radiation and to shape the spatial profile of the beam of optical radiation; a scan mirror assembly coupled to the beam shaping optical assembly; and objective lens assembly coupled to the beam shaping optical assembly. The beam shaping optical assembly includes a lens assembly configured to change a NA of the OCT system without changing a focus; to change a focus of the OCT system without changing a NA of the system; or to change both the NA and the focus of the OCT system responsive to a control input.

Abstract: An optical coherence tomography (OCT) system including a source of broadband optical radiation and a beamsplitter coupled to the source is provided. The beamsplitter divides the source radiation into a reference path and a sample path. The reference path includes an optical switch to switch the reference path between a first path having a first reference reflection at a first reference optical path length and a second path having a second reference reflection at a second reference optical path length. The system further includes a beam combiner that mixes source radiation reflected from a subject in the sample path with source radiation returned from the first reference reflection and the second reference reflection. A detection system detects a first wavelength dependent interferogram during the first time interval and a second wavelength dependent interferogram during the second time interval. A processor preconditions the first and second wavelength dependent interferograms.
