Abstract

A method of performing laser surgery in a patient's eye includes generating a light beam, deflecting the light beam using a scanner to form an enclosed treatment pattern that is configured to form an enclosed capsulorhexis incision that includes a registration feature, and delivering the enclosed treatment pattern to target tissue in the patient's eye to form in an anterior lens capsule of the patient's eye the enclosed capsulorhexis incision that includes the registration feature. The registration feature is configured so that an edge of the target tissue formed by the enclosed capsulorhexis incision mates with an intraocular lens registration feature on an intraocular lens so as to rotationally register the intraocular lens relative to the registration feature.

Claims (6)

1. A method of performing laser surgery in a patient's eye, comprising:

generating a light beam;

deflecting the light beam using a scanner to form an enclosed treatment pattern that is configured to form an enclosed capsulorhexis incision that includes a registration feature, wherein the registration feature is a notch in a periphery of the enclosed capsulorhexis incision, the enclosed capsulorhexis incision consisting of a smooth portion and the notch, wherein the notch has an outline which is smooth and which intersects with the smooth portion to form two defined corners;

delivering the enclosed treatment pattern to target tissue in the patient's eye to form in an anterior lens capsule of the patient's eye the enclosed capsulorhexis incision that includes the registration feature,

wherein the registration feature of the capsulorhexis incision is configured so that an edge of the target tissue formed by the enclosed capsulorhexis incision is capable of mating with an intraocular lens registration feature on an intraocular lens so as to rotationally register the intraocular lens relative to the registration feature.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capsulorhexis incision is round except for the notch in the periphery thereof.
