Definitions
- Figures 5A and 5B are top and side views of an alternative embodiment of the aiming fixture of Figures 4A and 4B;
- the pulsed beam 22 (now also co-aligned with the aiming beam from the aiming laser 32 and the registration beam from the registration laser 35) then passes through an adjustable diaphragm 36, which allows the beam size of the pulsed beam 22 to be adjusted before it enters the final optics.
- a focusing lens 40 directs the pulsed beam 22 onto a scanning mirror 42, which then reflects the beam 22 onto a patient's eye 44.
- the scanning mirror is preferably capable of moving a beam at 5000mm/sec at the surface of the eye 44.
- the focusing lens 40 focuses light such that when the eye 44 is at the optimal distance, the pulsed beam 22 is properly focused onto the eye 44.
- the control unit 64 can then control the infrared light source 68 to provide the desired contrast at the video camera 60.
- the aiming function of the control unit 64 and the movable mirror 42 are unaffected by changes in visible light onto the eye 44. For example, if the surgeon needs more illumination, he can adjust an visible light source, while the infrared light source 68 remains being controlled by the control unit 64.
- contrast is thus improved, and the performance of an eye tracker used in conjunction with the eye surgery system 10 is thus improved. This improved contrast is even apparent when the infrared filter 66 is omitted.
- Figure 4A is a top view
- Figure 4B is a side view
- Figures 5A and 5B show top and side views of a square aiming assistance fixture 400, which is an alternative embodiment to the circular aiming assistance fixture 300. The areas bounded by
- the circular aiming assistance fixture 300 and square aiming assistance fixture 400 are attachable fixtures of a known shape which are fixed to the eye within the range of "vision" of the video camera 60 to provide more accurate registration by the eye tracking system 70.
- These fixtures can be of any other desired shape, of course, and it is simply preferred that they be highly contrasting and of a predetermined profile relative to the remainder of the eye.
- These fixtures then provide a reliable and easily sensed reference for the eye tracking system 70 to "lock-on" to the origin 102, whether the eye tracking system 70 is light-based, infrared-based, or topographically-based.
- the fixtures are preferably fluorescent.
- the fixtures are preferably infrared absorbent, but could be infrared reflecting.
- the fixtures are preferably of a constant height raised profile, as discussed below in conjunction with Figures 7 and 8A-8C.
