Abstract:
1. An ophthalmic laser system comprising: a console module including a treatment laser and optical elements within said console module directing output from the treatment laser to an optical fiber; a delivery module including a slit lamp assembly, a viewing microscope for viewing of a treatment zone, and alignment optics directing and focusing laser beam output from the optical fiber to the treatment zone, wherein a whole of the optical fiber is substantially enclosed within a support arm of the viewing microscope; said alignment optics including a micromanipulator substantially enclosed within the support arm of the viewing microscope, the micromanipulator comprising a lens mounted on a pivotable arm, wherein pivoting of said lens about an optical axis by manual adjustment of a lever by a user translates to movement of a focused output of the optical fiber at the treatment zone, wherein XY directional movement of said lever is translated to corresponding XY directional movement of the laser beam at the treatment zone; and a fixed folding minor located within the delivery module and between stereo viewing paths of the viewing microscope to allow simultaneous viewing of the treatment zone and laser treatment, said folding mirror directing the laser beam output from the micromanipulator lens to the treatment zone.
