Laser methods and systems for addressing conditions of the lens
Systems and methods for performing laser cataract surgery, for using a biometric system to determine a material property of a structure of the eye, laser pulses in a laser shot pattern having different powers. A therapeutic laser, and laser delivery system having the capability to vary the power of the laser beam.
1 . A control system for a laser surgery device, the control system comprising:
a. a controller, comprising a processor and a memory; the controller in communication with a storage device;
b. the controller, in communication with a graphical user interface;
c. the storage device having a predetermined therapeutic laser shot delivery pattern for delivery of a therapeutic laser beam to a lens of an eye of a patient;
d. the graphical user interface configured to display a feature of a structure of the lens;
e. the graphical user interface is configured to receive a custom therapeutic treatment from a user; whereby the custom therapeutic treatment is stored in the memory and available for use by the controller as a basis for delivering the therapeutic laser beam to a cornea of the eye in a custom therapeutic laser shot delivery pattern.
2 . The system of claim 1 wherein the feature is based upon topographic information.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the feature is based upon 2-D optical information.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the feature is derived from 3-D optical information.
5 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the system may compensate for changes in the shape and position of structures in an eye when a patient is pronate.
6 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the system may calculate treatment patterns to correct defects in the eye created by cataract surgery.
7 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the system is operable to calculate 3-D models of an eye using-in-part data obtained from at least one fixed camera.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is operable to provide laser shots at different power levels.
9 . The system of claim 1 wherein the system is operable to provide a grade a cataract.
