摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, a system and method are provided for using a computer-controlled, laser system to perform a partial vitrectomy of the vitreous humor in an eye. Operationally, an optical channel is first defined through the vitreous humor. Vitreous and suspended deposits (floaters) in the optical channel are then ablated and in some cases removed (e.g. aspirated) from the optical channel. In some instances, a clear liquid can be introduced into the optical channel to replace the ablated matter, and to thereby establish unhindered transparency in the optical channel.
