Patent ID: 8398628

Claim:
A system for applying therapy to an eye, the system comprising: at least one energy conducting element configured to apply an initial amount of energy according to an initial pattern to an eye, the initial amount of energy according to the initial pattern causing a reshaping of an aspect of the eye, the at least one energy conducting element including an inner conductor and an outer conductor separated by a gap, a distal end of the outer conductor and the inner conductor defining the initial pattern; a measurement device operable to measure an amount of reshaping in response to an application of the initial amount of energy according to the initial pattern and provide a feedback indication of the measured amount of reshaping; and a controller operably coupled to the at least one energy conducting element and the measurement device, the controller being configured to: receive the feedback indication of the amount of reshaping from the measurement device and, in response, to the feedback indication of the amount of reshaping, determine a second amount of energy and a different pattern based on the feedback indication of the reshaping received from the measurement device, the at least one energy conducting element being configured to apply the second amount of energy according to the different pattern to the eye, and cause the at least one energy conducting element to apply the second amount of energy according to the different pattern to the eye, the second amount of energy according to the different pattern causing a different reshaping of the aspect of the eye.
