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.提供一種用於移除一自體水晶體並將一人工水晶體(IOL)插入一眼睛之水晶體囊中之系統及方法。具體言之,此係藉由插入該IOL穿過使用一聚焦雷射束建立之眼睛後囊上之一開口來實現。該系統包括一雷射單元、用於建立該眼睛內部影像之一偵測器,以及控制該偵測器及該雷射單元之協同作用之一電腦。基於由該偵測器提供之該後囊的影像,該電腦用於控制焦點穿過該後囊之組織的移動以在後囊組織上執行雷射誘導光學擊穿(LIOB)。結果為雷射水晶體囊切開術建立穿過該後囊之一開口,以允許移除該自體水晶體並植入該IOL。20‧‧‧眼睛22‧‧‧水晶體24‧‧‧後囊26‧‧‧分離組織區段;分離組織28‧‧‧開口31‧‧‧水晶體囊32‧‧‧鞏膜34‧‧‧出入孔36‧‧‧玻璃體38‧‧‧探針40‧‧‧箭頭
