Automated image guidance for ophthalmic surgery

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• monitoring a scene in an intra-operative environment using a plurality of images captured by a first imaging device;
• upon detecting an eye of a user within a first image of the plurality of images, automatically initializing an image-guided surgery, wherein automatically initializing the image-guided surgery comprises initiating a registration procedure to generate a set of transformation information, based at least in part on the first image and a reference image of the eye of the user;
• generating a set of overlay content based on the set of transformation information, wherein the set of overlay content comprises (i) a transformed first image or (ii) a transformed reference image;
• and
• presenting the overlay content onto the scene via a second imaging device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon, the computer executable instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform an operation comprising:

• monitoring a scene in an intra-operative environment using a plurality of images captured by a first imaging device;
• upon detecting an eye of a user within a first image of the plurality of images, automatically initializing an image-guided surgery, wherein automatically initializing the image-guided surgery comprises initiating a registration procedure to generate a set of transformation information, based at least in part on the first image and a reference image of the eye of the user;
• generating a set of overlay content based on the set of transformation information, wherein the set of overlay content comprises (i) a transformed first image or (ii) a transformed reference image;
• and
• presenting the overlay content onto the scene via a second imaging device.
