CORNEAL MULTI-PLANE INCISION USING A SURGICAL LASER SETUP CALCULATIONS INTERFACE

摘要

An apparatus and a method are described for setting up a medical laser machine configured to be used in eye surgery for making a multi-planar incision. In various embodiments, a software interface is provided to receive, from a user, one or more dimensional measurements of an eye of a patient as input, automatically calculate precise geometric and other setup parameters, based on a set of equations, of a multi-planar incision for the patient's eye, and provide the calculated parameters to the user for setting up the medical laser machine to make the incision.

主权项

1. A method of making an incision, the method comprising:
obtaining a measurement of a thickness of a tissue to be cut; using a set of equations to calculate setup parameters of a laser machine based on the measurement of the thickness of the tissue, wherein the setup parameters allow the laser machine to make a multi plane incision; and making the multi plane incision using the laser machine with the setup parameters, wherein the multi plane incision includes at least three cut sections, each cut section having a non-zero angle with respect to an adjacent cut section.
