Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for laser treatment of the crystalline lens. Implementations of the described methods and apparatus include a laser treatment of a lens of an eye includes defining a target boundary of a target region in the lens, applying surgical laser pulses to the target boundary effectively resulting in a separation of the target region from the rest of the lens, and removing the separated target region from the lens. The target boundary can be defined by applying marker laser pulses to outline the target boundary. The marker laser pulses can be applied by a laser source using marker pulse settings and the surgical laser pulses can be applied by the same laser source using surgical pulse settings.
