A robotic surgery system includes: (1) a positioning stage and (2) at least one manipulator arm mounted to the positioning stage, wherein the manipulator arm includes a track and a tool carriage moveably mounted to the track, and the tool carriage includes a base and a pair of light emitting devices mounted to the base.

An ophthalmic speculum includes arms, a locking mechanism, and an air-flow system. The arms include a first arm and a second arm. Each arm has a retractor shaped to conform to an eyelid of a pair of eyelids of an eye. The retractors are substantially symmetrical about a lateral axis. The locking mechanism is coupled to the arms. The locking mechanism moves the arms to allow the retractors to retract the pair of eyelids, and fixes the arms into place to maintain retraction of the pair of eyelids. The air-flow system is coupled to at least one arm, and moves air in a region disposed outwardly from a surface of the eye.

A system for supporting and aligning a patient during a color alteration procedure includes a laser system that delivers a laser in a first direction. A control computer may be adjacent the laser system for controlling the laser system. The control computer system may include a user interface in a first plane substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The system may include a patient support structure having a patient support surface extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and configured to be adjustable to set a patient position or alignment relative to the laser system. Coarse adjustment hardware may be configured to cause automated and/or manual adjustments to the patient support surface in the first direction. Fine adjustment hardware may be configured to cause automated fine adjustments to the patient support surface in the first direction based on instructions received from the control computer.

Methods, devices, and systems are presented for inserting an implant in the cornea of the eye, where the implant is a microshunt; a microshunt delivery device for delivering the microshunt into the cornea may comprise the microshunt, an actuator, and a suction stabilizer; a vacuum device may be inserted in the stabilizer such that the cornea may be sucked onto a concave bottom side of the stabilizer; the microshunt may then be inserted into a hole in the suction stabilizer with the actuator; the actuator may be turned to screw the microshunt into a hole in the cornea; and the actuator may be removed from the suction stabilizer, breaking the vacuum seal and leaving the microshunt inserted in the cornea.

The present disclosure provides a system for automated fine adjustment of an ophthalmic surgery support in which an eye tracking system detects a detectable position of an eye. The direction and distance the support must be adjusted for the eye to be centered may be determined based on the detectable position. A control signal is generated and transmitted to a control device that adjusts the position of the support to center the eye. The disclosure further provides a method for automated fine adjustment of a support, which includes detecting a detectable position of an eye, determining whether the eye is centered in relation to the center of the detection field of an eye tracking system based on the detectable position, determining a direction and a distance the detectable position must be adjusted to be centered, and generating and transmitting a control signal to adjust the position of the support.

The present disclosure relates to a structure used in an ophthalmic surgical procedure. The device may be used in pupil expansion or stabilization of the iris. The device is made out of an elastic or semielastic material in a shape that is conducive to easy insertion and removal as well as being optimized for atraumatic pupil expansion.

A platform for introducing various treatment tools through a conduit in order to treat various ocular pathologies by attaching it to a human eyeball. The platform has an axis that defines opposing anterior and posterior axial directions. The platform includes a framework formed about the axis and the framework has anterior and posterior openings at respective anterior and posterior sides. The platform includes also a hollow conduit that extends through the framework while passing through the anterior and posterior openings.

A soft-bodied apparatus and a method for opening an eyelid are provided. The apparatus includes: a head support module, a real-time eyelid positioning module, a robot end-effector real-time positioning module, and an automatic eyelid opening operation module. The automatic eyelid opening operation module includes a robot body and a robot control system. The robot body is provided with a multi-axis rigid body mechanical arm and a soft-bodied end-effector. The robot control system takes the real-time poses of the upper and lower eyelids of the user as a motion target, and takes the real-time shape and the pose of the soft-bodied end-effector as feedback information to control motion of the robot body to automatically open the eyelid.
