With this procedure, the anterior capsulotomy is performed intraocularly by
means of the laser system. The correct positioning of the capsulotomy cut on the
anterior capsular surface can be verified by means of an integrated optical coher‐
ence tomography (OCT) device before starting the cutting process.
This procedure generates precise cuts inside the cataractous lens, leading to a
softening and fragmentation of the lens. The correct positioning of the cuts inside
the lens can be verified by means of an OCT before starting the laser-assisted
fragmentation process.
With this procedure, the laser system is used for patients undergoing cataract sur‐
gery or other ophthalmic treatment requiring penetrating cuts / incisions in the
cornea.
This procedure creates cuts in the outer area of the cornea and very close to the
sclera. These penetrating cuts / incisions are done at patients undergoing a cata‐
ract surgery for direct access into the eye. The correct position and shape of the
cuts can be verified by the video image.
5.3.2
Corneal procedures
The corneal treatment comprises the following procedure:
n
Flap
This procedure cuts a corneal flap. The flap is generated by cutting a bed parallel
to the anterior surface of the cornea and a rim or side cut with a hinge. This proce‐
dure enables the user to define flap parameters such as the depth, the diameter
of the bed, the position and the width of the hinge, and the angle of the rim cut in
relation to the cornea.
5.3.3
Therapeutic procedures
The therapeutic treatment comprises the following procedures:
n
Crosslinking
n
Intracorneal ring segments tunnel
n
Lamellar keratoplasty
n
Penetrating keratoplasty
The crosslinking software module provides certain advantages compared to the
conventional method. By creating a bed and incisions for inserting Riboflavin, the
Riboflavin does not have to be dripped onto the eye but can be inserted directly
under the bed, and the cornea absorbs the Riboflavin faster. Furthermore, the epi‐
thelium does not have to be removed.
