Abstract

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.
