Patent Issued for System and method of determining topographies associated with ophthalmic procedures (USPTO 12070268).

A patent has been issued to Alcon Inc. for a system and method of determining topographies associated with ophthalmic procedures. The patent describes a medical system that uses a laser beam and a two-photon absorption (TPA) detector to determine multiple focal point distances and intensity values associated with a patient's eye. The system can then determine the topography of the patient's eye based on these measurements. The patent also mentions the use of femtosecond pulse durations and an analog to digital converter (ADC) in the system. This technology could potentially improve high-resolution imaging of biological material. [Extracted from the article]
