Abstract
Systems, devices and methods are provided to deliver microporation medical treatments to improve biomechanics, wherein the system includes a laser for generating a beam of laser radiation on a treatment-axis not aligned with a patient's visual-axis, operable for use in subsurface ablative medical treatments to create an array pattern of micropores that improves biomechanics. The array pattern of micropores is at least one of a radial pattern, a spiral pattern, a phyllotactic pattern, or an asymmetric pattern.
Claims15
A system for delivering microporation medical treatments to improve biomechanics, the system comprising:
- a laser for generating a beam of laser radiation on a treatment-axis not aligned with a patient's visual-axis, operable for use in subsurface ablative medical treatments to create an array pattern of micropores that improves biomechanics;
- a housing;
- a controller within the housing, in communication with the laser and operable to control dosimetry of the beam of laser radiation in application to a target tissue;
- a lens operable to focus the beam of laser radiation onto a target tissue;
- an automated off-axis subsurface anatomy tracking, measuring, and avoidance system;
- and
- wherein the array pattern of micropores is at least one of a radial pattern, a spiral pattern, a phyllotactic pattern, or an asymmetric pattern, and wherein the array pattern of micropores has a controlled asymmetry which is an at least partial rotational asymmetry about the center of the array pattern and extends to at least 51 percent of the micropores of the array pattern.
A method of delivering microporation medical treatments to improve biomechanics comprising:
- generating, by a laser, a treatment beam on a treatment-axis not aligned with a patient's visual-axis in a subsurface ablative medical treatment to create an array of micropores that improves biomechanics;
- controlling, by a controller in electrical communication with the laser, dosimetry of the treatment beam in application to a target tissue;
- focusing, by a lens, the treatment beam onto the target tissue;
- monitoring, by an automated off-axis subsurface anatomy tracking, measuring, and avoidance system, an eye position for application of the treatment beam;
- and
- wherein the array pattern of micropores is at least one of a radial pattern, a spiral pattern, a phyllotactic pattern, or an asymmetric pattern, and wherein the array pattern of micropores has a controlled asymmetry which is an at least partial rotational asymmetry about the center of the array pattern and extends to at least 51 percent of the micropores of the array pattern.
