Gantry for the delivery arm of a laser head

A method comprising:

• positioning a first patient for a first laser-based eye procedure at a first orientation relative to a laser surgical device in a surgical setting;
• providing first input to a first joystick of the laser surgical device to change a position of a delivery head of the laser surgical device to a first position, the first input causing a first corresponding and coordinated motion of two distinct linear motion actuators operating in two orthogonal directions;
• after the laser surgical device is positioned in the first position, performing the first laser-based eye procedure;
• without repositioning a chassis of the laser surgical device, positioning a second patient for a second laser-based eye procedure at a second orientation relative to the laser surgical device in the surgical setting, the second orientation different from the first orientation;
• providing second input to a second joystick of the laser surgical device to change the position of the delivery head of the laser surgical device to a second position, the second input causing a second corresponding and coordinated motion of the two distinct linear motion actuators operating in the two orthogonal directions;
• and
• after the laser surgical device is positioned in the second position, performing the second laser-based eye procedure.
