Abstract
An ophthalmological device and system is described that allows the simultaneous imaging of an eye using both scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Further the device and system is capable of targeting and delivering a femtosecond treatment laser for treatment of an eye condition. The system further includes a machine learning algorithm to provide a suggested treatment procedure.
Claims21
An imaging and laser delivery system for treatment of an eye condition, the system comprising:
- a scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) system comprising an SLO detector and an SLO light source, wherein the SLO light source is configured to generate light for passing from the SLO light source through an SLO optical pathway for SLO imaging;
- an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system comprising an OCT detector and an OCT light source, wherein the OCT light source is configured to generate light for passing from the OCT light source through an OCT optical pathway for OCT imaging;
- a treatment laser comprising a femtosecond laser configured to generate light from the treatment laser for passing through a treatment optical pathway;
- an objective lens configured to focus light from the SLO optical pathway, the OCT optical pathway and the treatment optical pathway onto a portion of an eye being treated for the eye condition;
- a splitter, wherein the splitter is configured to direct light from the SLO light source and reflected from the eye back to the SLO optical pathway, and wherein the splitter is further configured to direct light from the OCT light source and reflected from the eye back to the OCT optical pathway;
- and
- a device controller for controlling operation of the treatment laser and components of the SLO optical pathway, the OCT optical pathway and the treatment optical pathway,
- wherein a focus of the treatment laser is adjustable by the device controller to allow for spatial variation of the focus of the treatment laser in three-dimensional space within the eye;
- and
- wherein the system includes a machine learning algorithm configured to generate, based on images from the SLO system or the OCT system, one or more parameters for modifying a treatment plan to control the treatment laser for delivering one or more light beams to the eye, wherein the one or more parameters comprise at least one of:
- a shape of a cutting path of the treatment laser, a path of treatment with the treatment laser, a location of treatment with the treatment laser, and optimal laser parameters for the treatment laser.
