Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of treating a lens of a patient's eye includes generating a light beam, deflecting the light beam using a scanner to form a treatment pattern of the light beam, delivering the treatment pattern to the lens of a patient's eye to create a plurality of cuts in the lens in the form of the treatment pattern to break the lens up into a plurality of pieces, and removing the lens pieces from the patient's eye. The lens pieces can then be mechanically removed. The light beam can be used to create larger segmenting cuts into the lens, as well as smaller softening cuts that soften the lens for easier removal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating a cataractous lens of a patient's eye, comprising: a. generating a light beam; b. deflecting the light beam using a scanner to form a treatment pattern of the light beam; c. delivering the treatment pattern to the lens of the patient's eye to create a plurality of cuts in the lens in the form of the treatment pattern within the lens and segment the lens tissue into a plurality of patterned pieces, the treatment pattern comprising: a…
