  • Publication number: 20210259883
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of instruments for examination and treatment of human eyes. The invention relates to an acoustic diverter, which is used during laser treatment of eyes based on photodisruption within the eye, such as capsulotomy, iridotomy and vitreolysis. The present invention achieves the task of limiting or preventing acoustic waves to be focused in the eye so that the threshold negative pressures for injuries is not reached by providing an acoustic diverter, which has a geometry of an anterior surface concave, flat or slightly convex such that it prevents or decreases refocusing of acoustic waves back into the eye, and wherein the acoustic diverter is made of any biocompatible and sterilisable material transparent for the visible and near IR light. The preferred material has acoustic impedance between 1.4 to 1.7×106 kg/(m2·s) and/or attenuation coefficient more than 1 cm?1 at 10 MHz in order to ensure improved dispersion or attenuation of acoustic waves.

  • Patent number: 10888461
    Abstract: The object of the invention relates to a field of devices for performing treatments in ophthalmology, preferably to a field of devices for selective laser trabeculoplasty and capsulotomy. The essence of a laser therapeutic device for performing treatments in ophthalmology lies in that it is based on a laser source with a short resonator based on a end pumping technique, wherein the pumping is ascertained by a VCSEL light source (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser). Optimization of constructional and physical properties of a laser source is herewith achieved. The laser source meets all requirements for use in both above-mentioned treatments, wherein the device for capsulotomy is also suited for iridotomy and other surgeries, in which the effects of photodisruption are exploited.
