초록 ▼

A methodology is provided for correcting the placement of a laser beam's focal point. Specifically, this correction is done to compensate for displacements of the focal point that may be caused when implant material (e.g. an Intraocular Lens (IOL)) is positioned on the optical path of the laser beam. The methodology of the present invention then determines a deviation of the laser beam's refracted target position (uncompensated) from its intended target position. A calculation of the deviation includes considerations of the laser beam's wavelength and refractive/diffractive characteristics introduced by the implant material. This deviation is then added to the refracted target position to make the refracted target position coincide with the intended target position of the focal point. The laser beam will then focus to its intended target position.

1. A method for correcting the placement of a laser beam's focal point outside an implant material to compensate for displacements of the focal point caused when the implant material becomes positioned on an optical path of the laser beam, the method comprising the steps of: identifying an intended target position for the focal point of the laser beam, wherein the intended target position is outside the implant material and is identified relative to a reference datum;defining a volume of the implant material to include dimensional measurements of the volume, a refractive index of the implant material, and a configuration of the volume;orienting the optical path of the laser beam relative to the defined volume of implant material;calculating a refracted target position based on the orienting step, said refracted target position accounting for refractive optical characteristics introduced by the implant material;measuring a deviation between the intended target position and the refracted target position;focusing the laser beam along the optical path to the focal point; andcorrecting the focusing step to compensate for the deviation measured in the measuring step by making the refracted target position of the focal point substantially coincident with the intended target position. 2. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the reference datum is selected from a group comprising Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Scheimpflug imaging, confocal imaging, optical range finding, two-photon imaging or acoustical (non-optical) imaging techniques. 3. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the reference datum is an algorithm. 4. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the deviation (Δxyz) provides for a three dimensional compensation. 5. A method as recited in claim 4 wherein the component of the deviation along the optical path (Δz) maintains the intended target position beyond a distance “d” from the volume of implant material. 6. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising the step of accounting for the wavelength (λ) of the laser beam in the calculating step. 7. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the laser beam is a pulsed laser beam. 8. A method as recited in claim 7 wherein each pulse in the laser beam has a pulse duration less than one nanosecond. 9. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the volume of implant material is selected from a group comprising a multifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL), a customized lens, a customized inlay, a corneal lens and a corneal inlay. 10. A method for directing the focal point of a laser beam along an optical path through an implant material to an intended target position outside the implant material which comprises the steps of: using a reference datum to identify the intended target position for the focal point;calculating a refracted target position of the focal point, said refracted target position accounting for refractive optical characteristics introduced by the implant material on the optical path;measuring a deviation between the intended target position and the refracted target position;adding the deviation to the refracted target position to coincide the refracted target position with the intended target position; andfocusing the laser beam to the focal point after the adding step. 11. A method as recited in claim 10 wherein a volume of implant material is positioned on the optical path for purposes of the calculating step and wherein the volume of the implant material is defined to include dimensional measurements of the volume, a refractive index of the implant material, and a configuration of the volume. 12. A method as recited in claim 11 wherein the reference datum is selected from a group comprising Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Scheimpflug imaging, confocal imaging, optical range finding, two-photon imaging or acoustical (non-optical) imaging techniques. 13. A method as recited in claim 11 wherein the reference datum is an algorithm. 14. A method as recited in claim 11 wherein the deviation (Δxyz) provides for a three dimensional compensation, and wherein the component of the deviation along the optical path (Δz) maintains the intended target position beyond a distance “d” from the volume of implant material. 15. A method as recited in claim 11 further comprising the step of accounting for the wavelength (λ) of the laser beam in the calculating step. 16. A method as recited in claim 11 wherein the laser beam is a pulsed laser beam, and wherein each pulse in the laser beam has a pulse duration less than one nanosecond. 17. A method as recited in claim 11 wherein the volume of implant material is selected from a group comprising a multifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL), a customized lens, a customized inlay, a corneal lens and a corneal inlay. 18. A computer program product for use with a computer to direct the focal point of a laser beam along an optical path through an implant material to an intended target position outside the implant material, wherein the computer program product comprises program sections for, respectively: using a reference datum to identify the intended target position for the focal point;calculating a refracted target position of the focal point, said refracted target position accounting for refractive optical characteristics introduced by the implant material on the optical path wherein the optical path of the laser beam is directed relative to the implant material and the implant material is defined to include dimensional measurements, a refractive index of the implant material, and a configuration of the implant material;measuring a deviation between the intended target position and the refracted target position; andadding the deviation to the refracted target position to coincide the refracted target position with the intended target position. 19. A computer program product as recited in claim 18 wherein the reference datum is established using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) techniques and wherein the deviation (Δxyz) provides for a three dimensional compensation, and wherein the component of the deviation along the optical path (Δz) maintains the intended target position beyond a distance “d” from the volume of implant material.
