More Information
Summary:A system (20) includes a laser (48), configured to irradiate a target site (41) in an iris (35) of an eye (25), and a controller (44). The controller is configured to identify, in one or more images of at least part of the iris, an indication of fluid flow through the target site, and in response to identifying the indication, inhibit the laser from further irradiating the target site. Other embodiments are also described. La présente invention concerne un système (20) comprenant un laser (48), configuré pour exposer un site cible (41) d'un iris (35) d'un œil (25) à son rayonnement, et un dispositif de commande (44). Le dispositif de commande est configuré pour identifier, dans une ou plusieurs images d'au moins une partie de l'iris, une indication du flux de liquide à travers le site cible, et en réponse à l'identification de l'indication, empêcher au site cible d'être davantage exposé au rayonnement du laser. D'autres modes de réalisation sont également décrits.
