Abstract: A system and method for performing ophthalmic surgery using an ultra-short pulsed laser is provided. The system includes a laser engine configured to provide an ultra-short pulsed laser beam, optics configured to direct the laser beam to an undocked eye of a patient, an eye tracker configured to measure five degrees of freedom of movement of the undocked eye, an optical coherence tomography module configured to measure depth of the undocked eye, and a controller configured to control laser beam position on the undocked eye toward a desired laser pattern based on depth and the five degrees of freedom of movement of the undocked eye. Adaptive optics are also provided. Also disclosed are a scleral ring including fiducial markings and a compliant contact lens and fluid tillable contact lens configured to facilitate ultra-short pulsed laser surgery while reducing or eliminating eye docking requirements.

Abstract: a gripper that can grasp an optical device. The gripper includes a jaw assembly coupled to a platform. The jaw assembly can be actuated by a fluid powered actuator to grasp a device. The fluid powered actuator may be a pneumatic cylinder. The actuator can be coupled to a pressure regulator that regulates the force exerted by the jaw assembly onto the device. The gripper may also have a speed regulator that regulates the speed of the jaw assembly. The jaw assembly may include a first jaw and a movable second jaw. The gripper jaws are coupled to the platform by fasteners in a manner that allows for interchangeability of the jaws.
