Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 A schematic diagram of an ophthalmic device according to one embodiment of the invention is shown. An ophthalmic device is any type of device used for ophthalmic surgery, therapy and / or diagnosis. For example, the ophthalmic device may be a femtosecond laser (FS laser) device, an excimer laser (EX laser) device, a device forming a combination of FS- and EX-laser devices, or eye surgery or treatment such as LASIK treatment (LASIK: Laser Any other device used during in situ keratomileusis)).

[0018] The ophthalmic device 10 includes at least one controlled unit 20 . according to figure 1 , shows a plurality of controlled units indicated by reference numerals 20a, 20b to 20n, referred to herein as controlled units 20. However, the invention is not limited to the number of controlled units shown in the figures, but includes any number of controlled units required for surgery or therapy.

[0019] The controlled unit 20 is a component of the ophthalmic device 1...

Abstract

An ophthalmic apparatus for laser eye surgery comprising a command recognition unit configured for detecting and recognizing a gesture command and / or voice command of an operator of the ophthalmic apparatus, at least one controlled unit configured for receiving a control signal and configured for changing a state based on the received control signal, and a controller configured for generating a control signal and transmitting the control signal to the at least one controlled unit based on the recognized gesture command and / or voice command.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a contactless user interface for an ophthalmic device, and in particular to an ophthalmic device capable of recognizing gesture commands and / or voice commands for controlling at least one unit of the ophthalmic device. Background of the invention [0002] In the fields of ophthalmic surgery, ophthalmic therapy and ophthalmic diagnostics, devices are employed which comprise a number of components and units controlled by the user of the device. Conventionally, such control is through a user interface, such as a keyboard, touch screen, joystick, or the like. Before performing the procedure, the operator (eg, an ophthalmologist) sanitizes his hands and puts on sterile clothing and gloves in order to protect the patient from infection. [0003] Since the ophthalmologist has to access the user interface to operate and control the device, the device itself also needs to be sterilized. For example, for each procedure, the device may be cleaned ...
