First Claim
1. A laser therapeutic system, comprising:
- a laser source that emits a therapeutic laser beam toward an eye;
a laser control system in communication with said laser source, wherein said laser control system controls one or more parameters of said therapeutic laser beam;
an analyzer comprising;
a light source that illuminates said eye;
one or more detectors that receive reflected light off from said eye and generate images of said eye;
a memory comprising computer executable instructions; and
a processor in communication with said laser control system, said one or more detectors and said memory, wherein said processor receives said images of said eye and executes said computer executable instructions so as to generate a signal based on a correlation function that is defined for said images of said eye and said signal is able to correct orientation of said therapeutic laser beam relative so said eye, and wherein said signal is received by said laser control system, which uses said signal to change orientation of said therapeutic laser beam relative to said eye.

Abstract
A method that includes illuminating an eye with light at a first time and a second time and generating a first image of the eye based on the light that illuminates the eye at the first time. The method includes generating a second image of the eye based on the light that illuminates the eye at the second time. The method further includes positioning a laser source relative to the eye, wherein the laser source generates a therapeutic laser beam to be directed to the eye, wherein the first time is just prior to the therapeutic laser beam being directed to the eye and the second time is prior to the first time. The method further includes correcting orientation of the laser source relative to the eye based on a correlation function that is defined for the first and second images of the eye.

11. A method of treating an eye, comprising:
-
illuminating an eye with light at a first time and a second time; generating a first image of said eye based on said light that illuminates said eye at said first time; generating a second image of said eye based on said light that illuminates said eye at said second time; positioning a laser source relative to said eye, wherein said laser source generates a therapeutic laser beam to be directed to said eye, wherein said first time is just prior to said therapeutic laser beam being directed to said eye and said second time is prior to said first time; correcting orientation of said laser source relative to said eye based on a correlation function that is defined for said first and second images of said eye. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
