Abstract
A remote ophthalmic system may include an examination device having an ophthalmic laser device, and a first processor coupled to the ophthalmic laser device, a communication network, and a remote control device being associated with a user, being remote to the examination device, and being in communication with the examination device over the communication network. The first processor may be configured to receive target values for application of the ophthalmic laser device from the remote control device, the target values for application of the ophthalmic laser device being associated with an ophthalmic procedure on a patient, and perform the ophthalmic procedure on the patient by applying the ophthalmic laser device based upon the target values.
Claims20
A remote ophthalmic system comprising:
- an examination device comprising an ophthalmic laser device, and a first processor coupled to said ophthalmic laser device;
- a communication network;
- and
- a remote control device being associated with a user, being remote to said examination device, and being in communication with said examination device over said communication network;
- said first processor configured to
- receive a plurality of target values for application of said ophthalmic laser device from said remote control device, the plurality of target values for application of said ophthalmic laser device being associated with at least one ophthalmic procedure on a patient, and
- perform the at least one ophthalmic procedure on the patient by applying said ophthalmic laser device based upon the plurality of target values.
A remote ophthalmic system comprising:
- an examination device comprising
- an ophthalmic laser device,
- a first processor coupled to said ophthalmic laser device,
- an image sensor device coupled to said first processor and configured to generate image data associated with an eye of a patient,
- at least one robotic arm coupled to said first processor, and
- a lens coupled to a distal end of said at least one robotic arm;
- a communication network;
- and
- a remote control device being associated with a user, being remote to said examination device, and being in communication with said examination device over said communication network;
- said first processor configured to
- transmit the image data to said remote control device,
- receive a plurality of target values for application of said ophthalmic laser device from said remote control device, the plurality of target values for application of said ophthalmic laser device being associated with at least one ophthalmic procedure on the patient, and
- perform the at least one ophthalmic procedure on the patient by applying said ophthalmic laser device based upon the plurality of target values, and by positioning said lens via said at least one robotic arm.
A method for making a remote ophthalmic system comprising:
- providing an examination device comprising an ophthalmic laser device, and a first processor coupled to the ophthalmic laser device;
- and
- providing a remote control device to be associated with a user, to be remote to the examination device, and to be in communication with the examination device over a communication network;
- the first processor configured to
- receive a plurality of target values for application of the ophthalmic laser device from the remote control device, the plurality of target values for application of the ophthalmic laser device being associated with at least one ophthalmic procedure on a patient, and
- perform the at least one ophthalmic procedure on the patient by applying the ophthalmic laser device based upon the plurality of target values.
