It may be a protective barrier to mitigate damage from laser light or other targeted electromagnetic radiation. It may be a defining barrier that facilitates machine recognition of boundaries. The barrier may perform both functions. The use of the barrier is optimised for use with automated systems for lens removal, including the intraocular probe disclosed in this specification.16 20 1 7 19 23 242 15 142 13 12 11 34 10 33 Fig 5 19 Fi262 Fig7 28 19a /A19b Fig 7
