| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8089679 | Method and system for laser amplification using a dual crystal pockels cell A system for laser amplification includes a dual-crystal Pockels cell which is used to control emission of laser pulses from an ultra-fast laser. The Pockels cell is constructed to enable adjustment of the rotational orientation of one crystal relative to the other ... | 01/03/2012 |
| 8075552 | System and method for preparation of donor corneal tissue A system and method for preparation of donor corneal tissue is disclosed. The system includes two surgical lasers. The first surgical laser is adapted to incise a recipient cornea to enable resection of recipient corneal tissue. The second surgical laser is adapted ... | 12/13/2011 |
| 8057038 | Accommodation compensation systems and methods Methods and systems for obtaining an ocular aberration measurement of an eye of a patient are provided. Exemplary techniques involve obtaining a first induced metric for the eye that corresponds to a first accommodation state of the eye, obtaining a second induced m... | 11/15/2011 |
| 8016420 | System and method for illumination and fixation with ophthalmic diagnostic instruments An eye measurement system may include a target that moves transverse to an optical path from the target to eye, so as to relax accommodation of the lens of the eye. The target may move transverse to the optical path on a display. The patient may be fogged while the ... | 09/13/2011 |
| 7967436 | Wavefront refractions and high order aberration correction when wavefront maps involve geometrical transformations Wavefront measurements of eyes are typically taken when the pupil is in a first configuration in an evaluation context. The results can be represented by a set of basis function coefficients. Prescriptive treatments are often applied in a treatment context, which is... | 06/28/2011 |
| 7931644 | Operator-controlled scanning laser procedure designed for large-area epithelium removal Systems and methods for removing an epithelial layer disposed over a stromal layer in a cornea irradiate a region of the epithelial layer with a pulsed beam of ablative radiation. The ablative radiation is scanned to vary the location of the beam within the region i... | 04/26/2011 |
| 7901077 | Accommodation compensation systems and methods Methods and systems for obtaining an ocular aberration measurement of an eye of a patient are provided. Exemplary techniques involve obtaining a first induced metric for the eye that corresponds to a first accommodation state of the eye, obtaining a second induced m... | 03/08/2011 |
| 7717562 | Scaling Zernike coefficients to smaller pupil sizes for refractive treatments Wavefront measurements of eyes are normally taken when the pupil is relatively large, and the results are often represented by a set of Zernike coefficients. Different sets of Zernike coefficients can be calculated to represent aberrations at smaller pupil sizes. Wh... | 05/18/2010 |
| 7708408 | Single-arm optical coherence tomography pachymetry system and method A single arm optical coherence tomography (OCT) pachymetry system and methods for measuring layers of the eye are disclosed. The system includes an artificial lens for positioning on the eye, a light source emitting a measurement light beam along an optical path pos... | 05/04/2010 |
| 7690789 | Correction of presbyopia using adaptive optics, wavefront sensor eye alignment and light shield, and associated methods Devices, systems, and methods measure, diagnose, and/or treat one or both eyes of a patient. Adaptive optics systems (such as those having a deformable mirror) may be configured to an aspherical or multi-spherical presbyopia-mitigating prescriptive shape to allow ob... | 04/06/2010 |
| 7575322 | Auto-alignment and auto-focus system and method A patient positioning system for use with a patient comprises an optical image sensor. The optical image sensor measures an optical image of a tissue structure of an eye of the patient. An image sensor support supports the image sensor. A patient support supports th... | 08/18/2009 |
