System and method for managing patient data during ophthalmic surgery

An ophthalmic surgical device comprising:

• a surgical microscope;
• a user interface;
• an RFID read-write module operable read an RFID chip and write patient data to an RFID chip associated with a patient;
• surgical instrumentation;
• a warning system;
• and
• a processor operable to:
• receive data from the RFID chip associated with a patient, the data from the RFID chip comprising a first measurement of an eye;
• receive data from the surgical microscope associated with the patient, the data from the surgical microscope comprising a second measurement of the eye;
• compare the data from the RFID chip to the data from the surgical microscope;
• determine whether the eye has changed by determining whether the data from the RFID chip varies from the data from the surgical microscope by more than a predetermined percentage;
• generate a warning, if the data from the RFID chip and the data from the surgical microscope vary by more than the predetermined percentage;
• and
• transmit the warning to the warning system, causing the warning system to present a warning.
