The ophthalmologic microscope has an illumination device for projecting light onto an eye to be observed and a microscope device with a camera to view the eye. The illumination device generates pulsed light. The light is pulsed at least at twice the frame rate of the camera to reduce flicker. The illumination device uses an array of micro-mirrors as spatial light modulator, and the mirrors are controlled for a balanced deflection over the frame cycles, which allows to increase the service life of the microscope.

Improved optical coherence tomography systems and methods to measure thickness of the retina are presented. The systems may be compact, handheld, provide in-home monitoring, allow the patient to measure himself or herself, and be robust enough to be dropped while still measuring the retina reliably.

An image processing method performed by a processor and including detecting positions of plural vortex veins in a fundus image of an examined eye, and computing a center of distribution of the plural detected vortex vein positions.

Stereoscopic display systems and methods for displaying surgical data and information in a surgical microscope are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system includes first and second eyepieces. The system includes a display having first and second display portions, configured to display first images in the first display portion, and configured to display second images in the second display portion. The first image and the second image are projected along a first pathway and a second pathway. The system includes a first optical element positioned to relay the first images into the first eyepiece. The system includes a second optical element positioned to relay the second images into the second eyepiece.

The present technology relates to an image processing device, a method of image processing, and a surgical microscope that can detect and report a dangerous condition on the basis of a tomographic image during eye surgery. An image processing device includes: a dangerous condition detection unit configured to detect a dangerous condition on the basis of a tomographic image of an eye acquired during surgery of the eye; and a control information generation unit configured to generate and output control information used to manage the detected dangerous condition. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a surgical system used for eye surgery or other surgical procedures.
