Abstract
The invention relates to systems and methods for accessing tissue layers of the anterior chamber angle of an eye, targeting one or multiple treatment zones within the anterior angle area of the eye and delivering focused photodisruptive laser pulses with pulse durations <50 picoseconds creating channels into various anatomical structures within the anterior angle of the eye.
Claims6
A second method of delivering photodisruptive laser pulses into tissue layers of the anterior angle of the eye, having a vertical focusing convergence angle and a horizontal focusing convergence angle. The maximum vertical accessibility angle being determined with a visible second low power laser beam and the z-calibration of the top target tissue layer being determined with said visible second low power laser beam and a control system calculating the treatment laser pulse energy and a control system adjusting the treatment laser to said calculated pulse energy and a delivery system then applying a sequence of laser pulses to the target zone that creates a channel through the targeted tissue layers.
