CA11646_LAURA-SS

Optics - Lenses involve photons and refraction which can be used to measure, guide, and shape light. The CA11646_LAURA-SS is a medical device which can be used to diagnose and treat patients with corneal reshaping needs. It is a simple device with an objective lens, a light source, and a patient-side view port. The primary application of the CA11646_LAURA-SS is to reshape the cornea of the eye, commonly known as Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK).

The objective lens is used to focus the light onto the eye. The light is a short, pulsed beam of ultraviolet light. It is focused such that a refractive reshaping of the cornea can be achieved without damaging the eye. This beam is attracted to surfaces which have a refractive index mismatch. It then selectively ablates the inner portions of the cornea until the desired shape is reached.

The patient-side view port allows the patient to be monitored throughout the procedure. This is done by providing visualization of the inner layers of the eye. It also allows the physician to make adjustments to the laser settings based on the patient\'s response. This allows for a more precise reshaping with less risk of patient harm.

The CA11646_LAURA-SS is a versatile device which has a variety of applications in a medical setting, however its primary purpose is to treat patients with corneal reshaping needs. It operates by focusing a light source onto the cornea of the eye in order to reshape it. By monitoring the patient\'s response, it is possible to make minor adjustments to the laser settings to ensure a safe and effective procedure. The patient-side view port ensures that the process can be monitored efficiently and accurately.

Optics - Lenses are used in many medical applications, however, the CA11646_LAURA-SS stands out from the others as a device which can be used to perform safe and refined corneal reshaping in a minimal amount of time. By combining the ability to monitor changes with a light source which refracts on certain surfaces, this device can be used effectively to produce satisfactory results when treating corneal deformities.
