Real-time surgical reference indicium apparatus and methods for astigmatism correction
A system, method, and apparatus for guiding an astigmatism correction procedure on an eye of a patient are disclosed. An example apparatus include a photosensor configured to record a pre-operative still image of an ocular target surgical site of the patient. The apparatus also includes a real-time, multidimensional visualization module configured to produce a real-time multidimensional visualization of the ocular target surgical site during an astigmatism correction procedure. The apparatus further includes a data processor configured to determine a virtual indicium that includes data for guiding the astigmatism correction procedure. The data processor uses the pre-operative still image to align the virtual indicium with the multidimensional visualization such that the virtual indicium is rotationally accurate. The data processor then displays the multidimensional visualization of the ocular target surgical site in conjunction with the virtual indicium.

NEAR INFRARED ILLUMINATION FOR SURGICAL PROCEDURE
Systems, devices, and methods for surgical illumination and imaging of ophthalmologic structures within a human eye are disclosed. In various embodiments, an emitter, imaging sensor, and a system control image processor are configured to irradiate ophthalmologic structures with near infrared light, detect near-infrared scatter from the irradiated ophthalmologic structures and visible light in real-time and generate or otherwise cause an image to be displayed on the user display that includes the detected near-infrared scatter from the irradiated ophthalmologic structures displayed in real-time. In one or more embodiments, the image is a virtual image of the irradiated ophthalmologic structures generated at least based on near-infrared light scattering coefficients of the irradiated ophthalmologic structures. In certain embodiments, the image displayed on the user display includes the detected near-infrared scatter from the irradiated ophthalmologic structures overlaid on a real-time view from a surgical microscope.

Ophthalmic surgery using light-field microscopy
A system and method for ophthalmic surgery in which a light field camera is used to capture a digital image of the surgical field including the eye. The digital image is used to create image information and directional information, which is then used to from a three dimensional (3D) image with motion parallax.

Immersive display system for eye therapies
An immersive display system for eye therapies includes an ophthalmic microscope and: a double video camera, connected to a local network infrastructure; the double video camera oriented for filming the surgery operation; at least one computerized control unit, connected to the local network infrastructure, receiving images from the double video camera and processing them in a three-dimensional digital format; and at least one computerized controller, receiving the images processed by the computerized control unit. Also included is at least one helmet adapted to be worn on the head by the surgeon during the surgery operation, the helmet provided with a viewer arranged before the wearer's eyes, configured for three-dimensional image display, providing virtual reality content; the viewer allows the surgeon exclusive viewing of the three-dimensional images processed by the computerized control unit; the helmet being connected to the local network infrastructure to allow image reproduction in real time.
DEVICES AND/OR METHODS FOR INSPECTING AND/OR ILLUMINATING A HUMAN EYE
An optic system assists visualization of eye elements during ophthalmic surgery. The system has optic devices aimed at affecting light emitted by an ophthalmic microscope for observing an eye during surgery. This affecting can be by selecting the wavelength spectrum of the emitted light, tilting a light path of the emitted light and/or by changing the light path of the emitted light from the source to the eye under surgery.
Methods for monitoring physiological status of a body organ
The present invention provides method for monitoring physiological status of an organ in a subject by monitoring morphological changes over time in transplanted tissue on an eye of the subject.
