A patent has been issued to Lensar Inc. for a system and method for measuring tilt in the crystalline lens for laser phaco fragmentation. The patent describes a method of generating three-dimensional shapes for the cornea and lens of an eye using multiple sectional images obtained through illumination with multiple sections of light. The system includes an illumination source, a camera, and a computer image processor to perform image analysis and curve fitting to reconstruct the three-dimensional shapes. The invention aims to improve the accuracy and precision of laser phaco fragmentation and other surgical procedures in cataract surgery. [Extracted from the article] |
