Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a device for treating opacities and/or hardenings of an unopened eye. It is a specific advantage of the solution according to the invention that the treamtment of the inner region of the eye is possible without the need to introduce a surgical instrument into the eye.
Claims24
A method for noninvasively dissolving opacities and/or hardenings of an eye comprising:
- dissolving at least one of an opacity and a hardening via a plurality of ultrashort pulses of a laser defining a pulse train having a duration of less than 1 s.
A device for noninvasively treating opacities and/or hardenings of an eye comprising:
- a laser having a wavelength in a range of from 350 nm to 1300 nm;
- and
- a device for generating a pulse train of ultrashort pulses from the laser, the pulse train having a duration of less than 1 s,
- an aligning device for aligning the ultrashort pulses, the aligning device including one of a deflection device, focusing optics, and a contact glass, and
- a control device controlling the aligning device for aligning the ultrashort pulses as a function of data on at least one of the opacity and the hardening.
A method for noninvasively dissolving opacities and/or hardenings of an eye comprising:
- dissolving at least one of an opacity and a hardening via a plurality of ultrashort pulses of a laser defining a pulse train, wherein the pulse train is emitted repeatedly and wherein a repetition frequency of the repeated pulse train is in the kHz range.
A method for noninvasively treating the presbyopia of an eye comprising:
- dissolving at least one of an opacity and a hardening via a plurality of ultrashort pulses of a laser defining a pulse train so as to produce blisters as blister fields in a lens of the eye, the blisters filling with liquid.
