Illuminator for an ophthalmic system

Abstract

In certain embodiments, a system configured to illuminate an eye includes a pattern illuminator and an illuminator computer. The pattern illuminator provides an illumination pattern directed towards the anterior surface of the eye. The anterior surface of the eye reflects the illumination pattern as a reflected illumination pattern. The illuminator computer receives, via a wireless communication link, a set of instructions configured to coordinate the illumination pattern with a device of one or more devices of an ophthalmic system. The illuminator computer instructs the pattern illuminator to provide the illumination pattern according to the set of instructions to coordinate the illumination pattern with the device of the ophthalmic system.
