Surgical Probe with Interlocking Attachment

An ophthalmic surgical apparatus, comprising:

• an optical probe having
• a ferrule;
• a cannula disposed around a distal portion of the ferrule, the cannula and the ferrule coupled together by engaged deformations in the cannula and the ferrule;
• and
• an optical fiber positioned at least partially within the optical probe, the optical fiber configured to receive a light from a light source and guide the light to an optical element positioned within a distal portion of the cannula.

An ophthalmic surgical system, comprising:

• a light source configured to generate a light;
• and
• an optical probe in optical communication with the light source, the optical probe including
• a ferrule;
• a cannula disposed around a distal portion of the ferrule, the cannula and the ferrule coupled together by engaged deformations in the cannula and the ferrule;
• and
• an optical fiber positioned at least partially within the optical probe, the optical fiber configured to receive the light from the light source and guide the light to an optical element positioned within a distal portion of the cannula.
