Method and apparatus for removing tissue with mid-infrared laser |
abstract |
A medical apparatus and method for removing corneal tissue from an eye of a patient is disclosed. As described in one aspect of the disclosure, the apparatus comprises a laser source that produces short pulses of mid-infrared radiation, wherein the infrared radiation has a wavelength approximately corresponding to a corneal absorption peak. The apparatus also includes a scanner-deflection means to direct the pulsed radiation across an area of the corneal tissue in a predefined pattern to remove portions of the corneal tissue primarily by photospallation so that collateral thermal damage on the tissue is less than 1 micron thick. The apparatus and method may include an eye tracker to stabilize the tissue removal pattern during the procedure. |
