Cataract surgery is in recent years more and more augmented and supported by the application of laser cuts in the eye tissue. Such laser systems are separate units from the phacoemulsification system units that are usually used for cataract extraction. The laser systems require the patient to be positioned under the laser unit and then being moved under the surgical microscope next to the phacoemulsification unit. The here described invention relates to systems combining several aspects of the laser system and the phacoemulsification system. In particular, this invention relates to combining at least some parts of the control system and the housing for both systems and thereby minimizing and optimizing setup time, operating room footprint, patient flow and cost. Furthermore the here disclosed invention relates to integrating the laser system under the surgical microscope and thereby significantly reducing the surgery setup and complexity.

Combined laser and phacoemulsification system for eye surgery

Methods and system for improved laser eye surgery using photodisruptive laser pulses. A system for moving a femtosecond laser delivery head in a horizontal direction from a retracted position to an extended position over a patient.

Systems for laser eye surgery

An inserter for treating glaucoma can comprise a housing, a needle, a plunger, a slider component, and a drive component. The drive component is disposed within a cavity of the housing and rotatable within the cavity to result in movement along a longitudinal axis of the inserter to the needle and the plunger upon rotation of the drive component. The slider component is coupled to the housing and slidable along an elongate groove of the drive component such that movement of the slider component along the axis rotates the drive component within the housing.

Intraocular shunt insertion techniques

The here described invention generally relates to systems for laser eye surgery. It certain embodiments it discloses systems to perform femtosecond eye surgery without docking between the laser delivery system and the patient's eye as well as certain laser delivery system configurations that allow integration of laser delivery systems into a surgical microscope in specific ways, as well as integration into a slit lamp system.

Laser system for eye surgery

The invention relates to systems and methods for accessing tissue layers of the anterior chamber angle of an eye, targeting one or multiple treatment zones within the anterior angle area of the eye and delivering focused photodisruptive laser pulses with pulse durations &#x3c;50 picoseconds creating channels into various anatomical structures within the anterior angle of the eye.

Systems and methods to deliver photodisruptive laser pulses into tissue layers of the anterior angle of the eye

Intraocular shunt inserter

A photodisruptive laser delivery system and method for use in eye surgery. The photo disruptive laser delivered in pulses in the range of &#x3c;10000 femtoseconds, used to create incisions in eye tissue is delivered by novel means to minimize optical aberrations without the use of a complex system of multiply precisely arranged lenses. This novel means include a scanning design that allows the focusing lens to always remain under normal incidence to the photodisruptive laser beam, negating the need for overly complex aberration correction set up. The focusing lens is configured to move within a surrounding beam to facilitate two dimensional controls over the treatment space. Controlling beam divergence prior to focusing allows for 3D incisions. The system and methods of use accomplish precise treatment without the need to contact the patient and can be integrated into standard surgical microscopes to improve operational efficiency and hospital workflow.

Laser delivery system for eye surgery

The invention relates to systems and methods for measuring the angular accessibility limitations of the anterior angle of the eye, targeting one or multiple treatment zones within the anterior angle area of the eye and delivering highly focused photodisruptive laser pulses with pulse durations &#x3c;50 picoseconds creating channels into various anatomical structures within the anterior angle of the eye. The invention further includes custom gonioscopy lens systems, patient interface systems and a laser delivery system to deliver highly focused laser beams to the anterior angle area of the eye.
