US Patent:

20100022994, Jan 28, 2010
Filed:

Jul 24, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/509021
Inventors:

Rudolph W. Frey - Maitland FL, US
Steven E. Bott - Oviedo FL, US
Gerrit N. Porter - Winter Springs FL, US
International Classification:

A61F 9/009
US Classification:

606 4
Abstract:

There is provided a device for use as an interface between a laser surgery device and the eye of a patient. The device is filled with a liquid that matches the index of refraction of the eye. The device further has a curved lens that follows the curvature of the outer surface of the patient's eye. In this manner the interface device, through which the laser beam must travel, has essentially the same index of refraction as the eye.

Appl. No.:

12/840818
Inventors:

Gerrit N. Porter - Winter Springs FL, US
Rudolph W. Frey - Maitland FL, US
Steven E. Bott - Oviedo FL, US
Richard Ty Olmstead - Oviedo FL, US
Theodora Jane Bunch - Winter Park FL, US
International Classification:

A61F 9/009
US Classification:

606 4
Abstract:

There is provided a self-adjusting interface device for use with laser surgery devices. The device may be filled with a liquid that matches the index of refraction of the cornea of the eye. The device has the ability to adjust to varying curvatures of the eye and is configured so that when attached to the eye the laser surgery device will be able to deliver a therapeutic laser beam to the limbus region of the eye.
