An apparatus and method for auto-titrating a surgical laser are disclosed. One embodiment of the method comprises: providing an algorithm, wherein the algorithm is operable to configure the laser based on one or more user inputs providing a first user input operable to cause the algorithm to execute and fire the laser in a defined pattern providing a second user input, in response to an observed condition, operable to cause the laser to stop firing and to cause the algorithm to determine one or more laser parameter values and configure the laser based on the one or more laser parameter values, wherein a final laser power value when the laser stops firing is an input to the algorithm and wherein the algorithm determines the one or more laser parameters based on the final laser power value. The method can further comprise placing the laser in a "ready" (surgical) mode, either automatically by the auto-titration algorithm or via another user input. Once in a ready mode, a user, such as a surgeon, can pertorm a surgical procedure with the automatically configured laser. The user inputs can be provided by activating a control switch, such as the footswitch typically used by ophthalmic surgeons to control the operation of an ophthalmic surgical laser.揭示一種自動滴定手術雷射之裝置及方法。該方法之一個實施例包含:提供一演繹法則,其中該演繹法則可操作來基於一項或多項使用者的輸入而組配該雷射;提供一第一使用者輸入,其可操作來造成該演繹法則執行且以經界定之模式發射該雷射;回應於一觀察得之狀況,提供一第二使用者輸入,其可操作來造成該雷射停止發射,以及造成該演繹法則判定一項或多項雷射參數值,且基於該一項或多項雷射參數值來組配該雷射,其中當雷射停止發射時之最終雷射功率值為該演繹法則之一輸入,以及其中該演繹法則係基於該最終雷射功率值來判定該一項或多項雷射參數。該方法進一步包含藉自動滴定演繹法則自動設置,或透過另一項使用者輸入來將該雷射設置於「就緒」(手術)模式。一旦於就緒模式,使用者諸如手術醫師可以自動組配之雷射來進行手術程序。使用者之輸入可經由作動一控制開關來提供,諸如眼科手術醫師控制一眼科手術雷射之操作典型所使用的腳控開關來提供使用者輸入。10...雷射、雷射系統12...使用者介面14...控制把手、控制鈕16...探針埠20...照明埠22...開/關鍵24...緊急關閉裝置29...專用滴定模式開關50...處理模組52...記憶體
