  • Patent number: 12070424
    Abstract: A system for short pulse laser eye surgery and a short pulse laser system, in which a beam guidance device passes through a corresponding articulated arm, and through an applicator head and a microscope head of the system, which is movable in a three-dimensional volume both independently of one another as well as connected to each other. The system also includes an easy to use patient interface with a one-piece contact element, a computer program product for methods of the incision guidance and sequentially operating referencing methods with patient interfaces containing markings.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10213099
    Abstract: A method for measuring the geometric parameters of the eye. These measurements, known by the term biometrics, are particularly significant for the calculation of intraocular lenses after previous refractive cornea surgery. OCT images and other images are recorded simultaneously, the intensity of the reflected light generated during the OCT image recordings being lower by a factor of 2, by a factor of 10 or by a factor of 100, than the intensity of the illumination light of the other image recordings. The solution provides a method for producing other image recordings, in addition to OCT recordings, in the form of representations of the sclera or of the fundus, or keratometric, topographic or biometric measurements, or even short image sequences, for instance, while aligning the device with the eye.
