  • Patent number: 10799392
    Abstract: The invention relates to a controller for a surgical laser. According to the invention, the controller is adapted to control a laser in order to produce two or more three-dimensional compression zones, each comprising a plurality of lesions, inside a lens cortex of a crystalline lens of the eye using a laser pulse or multiple laser pulses, wherein the controller is adapted such that a laser can be calibrated with respect to a reference point within the lens, and each of the compression zones produced has a length in a radial direction, a depth in a direction parallel to the optical or visual axis and an average width in a direction parallel to a tangent of the lens cortex, wherein the sum of the average widths of all compression zones is 0.1 to 2 millimeter for every 1 diopter of desired gain in accommodation amplitude of the lens.

  • Publication number: 20200245861
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for determining characteristic values of ametropia of a test person, comprising a device for generating optical test structures and a device for observing the test structures by the test person, said device comprising a correction unit for correcting possible ametropia phenomena of the test person. According to the disclosure, the optical test structures have at least two moving speckle patterns of different wavelengths. The disclosure further relates to a corresponding device for generating optical test structures for determining characteristic values of ametropia of a test person, and to a corresponding method for determining characteristic values of ametropia of a test person.

  • Publication number: 20110118712
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmologic laser system (1) comprising an ultra-short pulse laser (2) for outputting ultra-short laser pulses (3), focusing optics (4) for producing at least one focal point (5) on and/or in the eye lens (6) of the patient's eye (7), a deflection mechanism (9) for varying the position of the focal point (5) on and/or in the eye lens (6), and comprising a control mechanism (11) for controlling the deflection mechanism (9). The laser system (1) is characterized in that the laser pulses output by the ultra-short pulse laser (2) and the size of the focal point (5) fixed by the focusing optics (4) are configured such that a fluence can be applied below or on the disruption threshold of the material of the eye lens (6) at the focal point (5), wherein said fluence is at the same time sufficiently high to cause changes in at least one material property of the material of the eye lens (6).
