Title:
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING VISION USING LASER PHOTOMIOSIS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017104597
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods of improving vision using an ophthalmological laser system.SOLUTION: A predetermined pattern characterized by a plurality of positions along a plurality of spatially distributed iris tissues of an eye of a patient is obtained. A laser illumination light beam is aligned in accordance with one or more of the plurality of positions along the plurality of spatially distributed iris tissues. The laser illumination light beam is delivered in the predetermined pattern to the plurality of spatially distributed iris tissues of the patient. At least a subset of the spatially distributed iris tissues is cauterized by the delivery of the laser illumination light beam in the predetermined pattern, thereby resulting in a permanent decrease in diameter of the pupil of the eye.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
