Abstract:
A system and method are provided for removing a natural lens and inserting an Intraocular Lens (IOL) into the lens capsule of an eye. Specifically, this is accomplished by inserting the IOL through an opening on the posterior capsule that is created using a focused laser beam. The system includes a laser unit, a detector for creating images of the interior of the eye, and a computer that controls the cooperative functions of the detector and the laser unit. Based on images of the posterior capsule provided by the detector, the computer is used to control movements of the focal point through tissue of the posterior capsule to perform Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) on posterior capsule tissue. The result is a laser capsulotomy that creates an opening through the posterior capsule allowing the natural lens to be removed and the IOL to be implanted.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for performing ophthalmic surgery inside an eye which comprises the steps of:\n performing Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) on tissue of the posterior capsule of the eye to create a section of separated tissue defining an opening into the lens capsule of the eye; removing the section of separated tissue from the lens capsule to establish the opening; extracting the lens of the eye from the lens capsule of the eye through the opening in the posterior capsule; and implanting an optical device in the lens capsule through the opening in the posterior capsule to replace the extracted lens.
