| 摘要 |
<p>This invention is a profiling, and/or calibration sample plate (22) allowing approximately full scale calibration monitoring of an ablation achieved in corneal tissue allowing a permanent record of an achieved corneal ablation to be made immediately before (and/or during) the actual cornea to be ablated is ablated. One exemplary profiling/calibration sample plate (22) includes a plate (or other shape) having a recess (36) adapted to contain a cross-linked collagen material (38). A non-contact interferometer (24) may be used to measure the resultant or achieved ablation profile on the surface of the cross-linked collagen material (38) contained in the profiling/calibration sample plate (22). The measured surface features in the collagen material (38), and/or a preserved original or copy of the cross-linked collagen material (38) may be maintained as a permanent record of the actual ablation performed on a particular patient.</p> |
