  • Publication number: 20220241111
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for treating tissue abnormalities are disclosed. The tissue may be visualized for determining a presence of one or more abnormalities contained therein. Imaging data obtained by visualization may be used to determine the presence of one or more abnormalities. Each of the detected abnormalities may be identified and a treatment plan developed for treating the abnormalities. Treatment may be delivered to the abnormalities according to the treatment plan.

  • Patent number: 9693686
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods of and for an ophthalmic visualization system are disclosed. An example ophthalmic visualization system may include a first lens positioned relative to a surgical microscope in a manner facilitating viewing of a central region of a retina through the surgical microscope during a surgical procedure. The first lens may be positionable in an optical path between an eye and the surgical microscope during the surgical procedure. The example ophthalmic visualization system may also include a second lens selectively positionable relative to the surgical microscope and the first lens in a manner facilitating viewing of a peripheral region of the retina of the eye during the surgical procedure. The second lens may be selectively positionable in the optical path such that the peripheral region is selectively viewable without changing the position of the first lens during the surgical procedure.

  • Publication number: 20170083666
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for generating presurgical planning material, annotating the presurgical planning material, and using that generated presurgical planning materials during a surgical procedure are disclosed. The presurgical planning material may be annotated at a location outside of a sterile surgical environment. The annotated presurgical planning material may be displayed on a display device within a sterile surgical environment during a surgical procedure to assist a user, such as a surgeon or other medical professional, in performing the surgical procedure.

  • Publication number: 20110144745
    Abstract: An endoillumination system comprises a system controller and a light modulation apparatus responsive to the controller to alter at least one parameter associated with a input light beam to generate a modulated light beam. The endoillumination system further comprises an optical fiber for carrying the modulated light beam and a probe through which at least a portion of the optical fiber extends. The probe is sized for insertion into an eye.
