OPHTHALMOLOGICAL APPARATUS FOR THE BREAKDOWN OF EYE TISSUE

摘要

An ophthalmological apparatus includes a handle for manually holding and applying the ophthalmological apparatus, fastening abilities for fixing the ophthalmological apparatus at an eye, a light source, and a light projector for the focused projection of light pulses for punctiform tissue breakdown at a focal point in the interior of the eye tissue. The ophthalmological apparatus also includes a movement driver for moving the light projector. The movement of the light projector and therefore that of the focal point with the assistance of the movement driver permits a dimensioning of the optical projection system of the light projector which is substantially smaller than in the case of an ophthalmological apparatus where the focal point is moved exclusively by an optical projection system.

1. An ophthalmological apparatus, comprising:
a light source, and an appliance for application onto an eye of a patient, the appliance comprising: fastening means configured to fix the appliance on the eye of the patient, a light projector, optically connected to the light source, for the focused projection of light pulses for punctiform tissue breakdown at a focal point in the interior of the eye tissue of the eye of the patient, and having a projection axis, and a rotation driver configured to rotate the light projector and its projection axis about an axis of rotation, with the appliance being fixed on the eye of the patient, to move the focal point of the punctiform tissue breakdown and thereby produce cuts in the eye of the patient by moving said focal point.
