5. History of Femtosecond Laser
• 1990 University of Michigan Kellogg School of Medicine established Center
for Ultrafast Optical Science CUOS with$14.3 million in funding from the
National Science Foundation and the state of Michigan
• Tibor Juhasz, Xinbing Liu, and Ron Kurtz design the first prototype in the
new Femtosecond Medical Research Laboratory at the CUOS
• Dr. Ron Kurtz and Dr. Victor Elner will evaluate the laser
• Technology evolves in the 1990s, patents are acquired, and first patients
are treated in LASIK and ICRS (INTACS)
6. Innovation Genius and Funding
This is the nature of genius, to be able to grasp the knowable even
when noone else recognizes that it is present.
Deepak Chopra
"Ultrashort pulsed lasers produce very localized
ablations, which should be especially useful in eye
surgery where delicate structures can be easily
damaged," Kurtz says. "Another important feature is the
ability to focus the laser light through the clear cornea
onto structures within the eye without the need for a
surgical incision.“ 1996
7. Innovation Genius and Funding
Even though the new laser system will be more
complex than anything currently available, Liu
says it also must be compact, reliable and
inexpensive, since it eventually will be used by
surgeons in an office setting.

8. History of Femtosecond Laser
• Ron M. Kurtz, assistant professor of ophthalmology, examines a patient at
the W.K. Kellogg Eye Center. Researchers at the Center for Ultrafast Optical
Science (CUOS) are working with Kurtz to develop new 'ultrashort pulse
lasers' for use in eye surgery and other medical applications.

27. History of Femtosecond Laser
Those surgeons who use laser-made flaps in LASIK cite studies that
show patients have fewer flap complications, need fewer retreatments
and have a greater likelihood of achieving 20/20 visual acuity or better.

29. History of Femtosecond Laser
Cataract Surgery
• LenSx received regulatory clearance for use of a femtosecond laser for
creating an anterior capsulotomy in August 2009 and for use in cutting a
corneal incision during cataract surgery in December 2009. More than 500
cataract surgeries using a femtosecond laser have been performed in
Europe by Zoltan Nagy, MD, of Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary,
according to the release.
• ALISO VIEJO, Calif. — The first patients in the United States have
undergone cataract surgery using a femtosecond laser to cut the flap,
according to LenSx Lasers.
• All capsulotomies in the surgeries were perfectly centered and achieved
diametric accuracy of ±0.25 mm, by Stephen G. Slade, MD, of Houston,
wounds were self-sealing and patients were implanted with a premium
IOL, the release said. March 2010 OSNSupersite
