Improved systems, devices, and methods measure and/or change the shape of a tissue surface, particularly for use in laser eye surgery. The invention generally takes advantage of fluorescence of the tissue at and immediately underlying the tissue surface. The excitation energy can be readily absorbed by the tissue within a small tissue depth, and may be provided from the same source used for photodecomposition of the tissue. The invention can also take advantage of changes in the fluorescence spectrum of a tissue in correlation with changes in the tissue's hydration.

La présente invention concerne des systèmes, des dispositifs et des procédés améliorés destinés à mesurer et/ou modifier la forme d'une surface tissulaire, en particulier dans la chirurgie de l'oeil au laser. L'invention tire généralement avantage de la fluorescence du tissu à l'emplacement de la surface tissulaire ou à un emplacement directement sous-jacent par rapport à la surface tissulaire. L'énergie d'excitation est facilement absorbée par le tissu à une faible profondeur tissulaire et elle peut être fournie par la même source que celle qui est utilisée pour la photodécomposition du tissu. L'invention peut également tirer profit des changements affectant le spectre de fluorescence d'un tissu, en corrélation avec les changements se produisant dans l'hydratation du tissu.
