System and method for providing laser shot patterns to the lens of an eye

摘要

There is provided a system, apparatus and methods for developing laser systems that can create precise predetermined shot patterns for providing areas of varying softness in the lens of an eye. These areas of varying softness may have shapes that correspond to instruments used to remove material from the lens of the eye. There is further provided a multiplicity of spheres pattern, which may provide for bubble formation which in turn lubricates the lens material for removal after sectioning.

1. A method for providing laser shot patterns to the natural human lens of an eye for softening natural human lens material, the method comprising:
a. providing a laser shot pattern, based-in-part on a density of a natural human lens, for changing the hardness of the natural human lens material, the shot pattern comprising a first pattern a second pattern, and a third pattern; b. the first pattern of the laser shot pattern having a different shot density from the second pattern of the laser shot pattern; c. delivering the first pattern to a first location of the natural human lens, the second pattern to a second location of the natural human lens, and the third pattern to a third location of the natural human lens, and wherein each location is a different location in the natural human lens; and e. wherein the first pattern creates a cut in the natural human lens material, and wherein the second and third shot patterns soften the natural human lens material at the second and third locations of the natural human lens.
