Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods of and for an ophthalmic surgical system are disclosed. An ophthalmic surgical system may include a surgical microscope through which a user may view a surgical site. A display device in communication with the surgical microscope may output a graphical overlay into the field of view of the surgical microscope. The graphical overlay may display one or more configurable parameters associated with a surgical tool. A user may adjust the one or more configurable parameters with an input device while visualizing the field of view.
Claims20
An ophthalmic surgical system, comprising:
- a surgical microscope operable to provide a field of view of a surgical site to a user;
- a display device in communication with the surgical microscope, the display device operable to output a graphical overlay into the field of view of the surgical microscope;
- a surgical tool configured to be inserted into a patient and operable to perform a surgical task at the surgical site while the user visualizes the field of view using the surgical microscope, wherein the graphical overlay displays one or more configurable parameters that modify operation of the surgical tool;
- an input device operable to receive user input from the user to adjust the one or more configurable parameters associated with the surgical tool, the user input entered using the graphical overlay while the user visualizes the field of view using the surgical microscope;
- and
- a computing device operable to:
- generate a control signal to adjust the one or more configurable parameters that modify the operation of the surgical tool in the response to the user input entered using the graphical overlay;
- and
- output the control signal to the surgical tool to control the surgical tool to perform the surgical task at the surgical site according to the user input entered using the graphical overlay.
6 more elements
An ophthalmic surgical system, comprising:
- a computing device operable to:
- output display data representative of a graphical overlay including one or more configurable parameters that modify operation of a surgical tool, the surgical tool configured to be inserted into a patient and operable to perform a surgical task at a surgical site during an ophthalmic surgical procedure;
- receive a user input entered using the graphical overlay, the user input adjusting the one or more configurable parameters associated with the surgical tool;
- generate a control signal to adjust the one or more configurable parameters that modify the operation of the surgical tool in the response to the user input entered using the graphical overlay;
- and
- output, to the surgical tool, a control signal to control the surgical tool to perform the surgical task on at surgical site according to the user input entered using the graphical overlay, the control signal adjusting the one or more configurable parameters associated with the surgical tool;
- and
- a display device operable to provide the graphical overlay into a field of view of a surgical microscope.
5 more elements
A method of operating an ophthalmic surgical system, the method comprising:
- outputting, from a computing device to a display device, display data representative of a graphical overlay including one or more configurable parameters that modify operation of a surgical tool, the surgical tool configured to be inserted into a patient and operable to perform a surgical task during an ophthalmic surgical procedure;
- displaying the graphical overlay within a field of view of a surgical microscope operable by a user to visualize a patient eye;
- receiving a user input entered using the graphical overlay, the user input adjusting the one or more configurable parameters associated with the surgical tool;
- generating a control signal to adjust the one or more configurable parameters that modify the operation of the surgical tool in the response to the user input entered using the graphical overlay;
- and
- outputting, to the surgical tool, a control signal to control the surgical tool to perform the surgical task according to the user input entered using the graphical overlay, the control signal adjusting the one or more configurable parameters associated with the surgical tool.
