Abstract

An ophthalmic surgery microscope comprising a beam coupler positioned between a first eyepiece and magnification / focus optics along an optical path of the surgical microscope, the beam coupler being operable to The OCT imaging beam is directed along a first portion of an optical path of the surgical microscope between the beam coupler and a patient's eye (the OCT image is generated based on a reflected portion of the OCT imaging beam). The surgical microscope further comprises: a real-time data projection unit operable to project OCT images produced by the OCT system; and a beam splitter along the surgical The optical path of the microscope is positioned between the second eyepiece and the magnification / focus optics. The beam splitter is operable to direct the projected OCT image along a second portion of the optical path of the surgical microscope between the beam splitter and the second eyepiece such that the projected OCT image can be viewed through the second eyepiece.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to surgical microscopes for ophthalmic surgery, and more particularly to surgical microscopes with integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) and display systems. Background technique [0002] Eye surgeons often rely on surgical microscopes to see minute details of a patient's eye during eye surgery. One type of eye surgery - vitreoretinal surgery - involves vitrectomy (removal of the vitreous from the posterior chamber to gain access to the retina). Successful execution of vitrectomy requires essentially complete removal of the vitreous, including the most challenging region near the vitreous base. Due to the transparent nature of the vitreous, it can be challenging to perform a vitrectomy relying solely on a conventional surgical operating microscope for visualization. [0003] To aid in visualization, surgeons can rely on preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. OCT imaging is a method o...
