Abstract: A system and method for assisting a surgeon performing an ophthalmic procedure on an eye of a patient, the system including a lubrication assembly. The lubrication assembly may be disposed on a proximal end of a robotic arm, a proximal end of a surgical microscope, or a proximal end of a mobile stand or frame. Dispersal of lubricant from the lubrication assembly may be upon receipt of a direct input from a surgeon, according to a predetermined schedule, or according to an image processing protocol. The lubrication assembly may be moved into position over the eye of the patient manually by the surgeon or through the indirect command of a motion controller which is operable to move the robotic arm or the surgical microscope so as to extend the lubrication assembly into a desired position.

Abstract: A system for assisting a surgeon performing intraocular surgery on an eye of a medical patient includes a robotic arm and a tool assembly at a working end of the robotic arm. The tool assembly can include a proximal end mounted to the robotic arm's working end, a distal end, and a narrow elongate support member extending between the tool assembly's proximal and distal ends. A motion controller is operable to move the robotic arm to extend the distal end and at least a portion of the support member through an incision site in a surface of the patient's eye, thereby to locate a visualization element at the distal end of the tool member at a position inside the patient's eye.
