More Information
Summary:An arrangement for laser treatment of vitreous floaters. The arrangement for laser vitreolysis of an eye includes an OCDR system, a laser system having a deflection unit, optical elements that couple the OCDR system and the laser system, a display unit and a central control and operating unit. The OCDR system is configured to localize the position of a floater along the optical axis of the OCDR system. The laser system is configured to destroy the floaters by application of laser pulses, and the central control and operating unit is configured to focus the laser system onto the position of the floater and to activate it, in particular when the position of the laser focus and the floater match in a sufficient manner. The present invention relates to an arrangement for the gentle, low risk and painless laser treatment of vitreous floaters, which allows a partially or fully automated therapy.
