OPHTHALMIC INTERFACE APPARATUS AND SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INTERFACING A SURGICAL LASER WITH AN EYE
First Claim
1. A patient interface system for supporting therapy provided by a surgical laser to an eye, the patient interface system comprising:
- an interface device comprising;
a frame having a first end and a second end, wherein the second end is adapted to couple with the surgical laser,a corneal interface lens disposed at the first end, anda skirt affixed to the first end, wherein the skirt is adapted to seal against an anterior surface of the eye; and
a centration device comprising;
a first portion adapted to be removably coupled within the second end, the first portion comprising an indicator identifying an optical axis of the interface device when the centration device is coupled to the interface device; and
a second portion contiguous with the first portion, the second portion adapted to secure the first portion to the second end and release the first portion from the second end.

Abstract
An ophthalmic patient interface system includes an interface device and an ocular device. The interface device includes a frame having a first end and a second end, a lens disposed at the first end, and a skirt affixed to the first end. The second end is adapted to couple with a surgical laser system, and the skirt is adapted to seal against an anterior surface of an eye. The ocular device includes magnifying optics and is adapted to be removably seated within the second end. The magnifying optics image a region on a corneal side of the lens when the ocular device is seated within the second end.
