Abstract
Methods of manipulating pulses of ultrasonic energy for use with an ophthalmic surgical device.
Claims23
A method of generating energy for use with an ophthalmic surgical device, the ophthalmic surgical device having a handpiece for generating pulses of energy, the method comprising:
- generating a group of pulses having
- at least one triangular pulse that includes a first programmed substantially linear rise component and a second programmed substantially linear decay component, and
- at least one pulse having an attribute that is different from the triangular pulse.
A method of generating energy for use with an ophthalmic surgical device, the ophthalmic surgical device having a handpiece for generating pulses of energy, the method comprising:
- generating a group of pulses having
- at least one triangular pulse that includes a first programmed substantially linear rise component and a second programmed substantially linear decay component;
- and
- at least one pulse that does not include a programmed substantially linear component,
- wherein each pulse differs from at least one other pulse in at least one manner.
