Abstract
The invention provides an excimer laser system including a means for calibrating laser output to compensate for increased variation in laser optical fibers.
Claims23
A method for performing an intraocular procedure for treating an eye condition, the method comprising:
- upon each instance of connecting one of a plurality of excimer laser probes to an excimer laser source, automatically receiving, by a processor in communication with the excimer laser source, data from the one of the plurality of excimer laser probes coupled to the excimer laser source, wherein:
- the data is indicative of at least a diameter of a fiber optic core of the one of the plurality of excimer laser probes,
- the excimer laser source is configured to generate laser energy to be provided to each of the plurality of excimer laser probes, and
- the plurality of excimer laser probes are single use and disposable, such that the plurality of excimer laser probes are each coupleable, one at a time, to the excimer laser source;
- and
- automatically fine tuning and adjusting, by the processor, laser energy output from the excimer laser source to the one of the plurality of excimer laser probes based on the diameter of the fiber optic core such that the laser energy output from the one of the plurality of excimer laser probes is maintained at a desired level.

- and
- preconfiguring, by the processor, laser energy output from the excimer laser source to the one of the plurality of excimer laser probes based on the diameter of the fiber optic core such that the laser energy output from the one of the plurality of excimer laser probes is maintained at a desired level, wherein the laser energy output is preconfigured as part of an initial setup prior to performing the intraocular procedure.

A system for use in performing an intraocular procedure for treating an eye condition, the system comprising:
- an excimer laser source for generating laser energy to be provided to one of a plurality of single use, disposable excimer laser probes coupleable, one at a time, to the excimer laser source;
- and
- a processor coupled to a memory comprising non-transitory, computer-readable instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
- upon each instance of connecting a separate one of the plurality of excimer laser probes to the excimer laser source, receive data from a given one of the plurality of excimer laser probes coupled to the excimer laser source, the data indicative of at least a diameter of a fiber optic core of the given one of the plurality of excimer laser probes;
- and
- automatically adjust laser energy output from the excimer laser source to the given one of the plurality of excimer laser probes based on the diameter of the fiber optic core such that laser energy output from any one of the plurality of excimer laser probes is maintained at a desired level.
