Dynamic optical surgical system utilizing a fixed relationship between target tissue visualization and beam delivery

A surgical device for treating a target tissue, comprising:

• a light source configured to generate a treatment beam of light;
• a mirror configured to reflect the treatment beam toward the target tissue and to direct the treatment beam onto the target tissue;
• a plurality of optical elements configured to generate an image of the target tissue from light emanating from the target tissue;
• a translation device configured to translate the light source, the minor and the plurality of optical elements relative to the target tissue to simultaneously move the treatment beam along the target tissue and a field of view of the target tissue defined by the plurality of optical elements;
• and
• control electronics for controlling the translation device to cause the treatment beam to move along the target tissue in a predetermined pattern.

A surgical device for treating a target tissue, comprising:

• a light source configured to generate a treatment beam of light;
• a lens configured to direct the treatment beam onto the target tissue;
• a plurality of optical elements configured to generate an image of the target tissue from light emanating from the target tissue, wherein the light emanating from the target tissue passes through the lens and to the plurality of optical elements;
• a translation device configured to translate the lens relative to the target tissue to simultaneously move the treatment beam along the target tissue and a field of view of the target tissue defined by the plurality of optical elements;
• control electronics for controlling the translation device to cause the treatment beam to move along the target tissue in a predetermined pattern;
• a housing;
• and
• a contact element mounted to the housing for making contact with a patient's eye, wherein the lens is mounted to the housing via the translation device, and wherein the translation device moves the lens relative to the housing.
