| titleOfInvention | Excimer laser system for correction of vision |
| abstract | An apparatus and method for controlling an apparatus for removing tissue from the eye performs various types of corrections using a relatively large beam, but oscillating, or dithering, that being to prevent reinforcing ridges from being formed during the tissue removal process. Further, various types of correction, such as hyperopia and astigmatism correction, are performed using a large beam that is scanned over the area to be ablated using overlapping shots. Further, the epithelium in the area to be treated is removed using an infrared fluorescent dye to dye the epithelium, and then observing the fluorescent patterns from the epithelium area to be removed. Once a certain area is no longer fluorescent after laser shots, smaller shots are then applied, selectively removing the epithelium from the remaining regions. Again, the fluorescence patterns are observed, and the process is repeated until no epithelium remains. At this point, all of the epithelium is removed, and further a map is created of the initial epithelial thickness at each point in the area from which the epithelium was removed. Using two astigmatism correcting ablation patterns intersecting at an angle, a lens is created capable of correcting for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Further, overlapping shots using a relatively large fixed spot size provide for reduced thermal heating, ridgeless treatment patterns, reduced shot count, and simplified equipment. |
