Abstract: An ophthalmic surgery laser system and method of laser delivery for an ophthalmic surgery laser system are disclosed herein. Embodiments of the system and method are directed to an ophthalmic surgery laser system including a laser engine, a laser guide, and a laser shaper. Embodiments of the system and method are directed to a laser delivery system for an ophthalmic surgery laser system. Embodiments of the system and method are directed to an ophthalmic surgery laser system including additional functionality such as laser scanning confocal microscopy, 3D laser scanning, and laser beam diagnostics. Embodiments further include the use of a lower power illumination source.
