    Abstract: The present disclosure provides ophthalmic viewing systems for visualizing structures on and in an eye of a medical patient. Certain embodiments provide an ophthalmic viewing system including an ophthalmic microscope, a gonioscopy device configured to relay images of an interior periphery of a patient's eye to the ophthalmic microscope, and a robotic arm configured to hold the gonioscopy device in a position in relation to the ophthalmic microscope and the patient's eye to relay the images of the interior periphery of the patient's eye to the ophthalmic microscope for viewing by a user.

    Abstract: A system includes an actuator, one or more items of diagnostic equipment configured to perform ophthalmic measurement, and one or more items of treatment equipment configured to facilitate performance of an ophthalmic treatment with respect to an eye of a patient. A controller is coupled to the actuator and is configured to cause the actuator to transfer the one or more items of diagnostic equipment and the one or more items of treatment equipment into and out of a region in front of an eye of the patient. The ophthalmic treatment may be a LASIK or SMILE treatment using refractive error and/or eye geometry measured using the diagnostic equipment.

    Abstract: A system includes a display device and an actuated structure mounted to the display device and configured to move the display device in three-dimensional space. The system includes an imaging device configured to capture images of a patient's eye during an ophthalmic surgery and display the images on the display device. A controller is configured to activate the actuated structure to maintain visibility of the display device to a surgeon performing the ophthalmic surgery. The display may be positioned based on a surgeon profile and/or a treatment plan. Whether the display is visible may be determined based on images from a camera mounted to the imaging device, the display device, or elsewhere. Whether the display is visible may be determined based on kinematic data for the actuated structure and/or a support for the imaging device.

    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a drug delivery assembly configured to receive a portion of a head of a patient and mounted to a helmet or support. The drug delivery assembly includes one or more imaging devices configured to have an eye of the patient in a field of view thereof, an injection assembly configured to receive a drug to be injected, and a staging assembly including one or more actuators configured to position the injection assembly relative to the eye of the patient. A controller receives one or more images from the one or more imaging devices; detects a location of a limbus of the eye of the patient in the one or more images; and activate the one or more actuators to drive a needle into a placement location on the eye of the patient and dispense a drug into the eye through the needle.

    Abstract: Intraocular lens (IOL) designs include having an optic with an anterior surface and a posterior surface surrounded by an optic edge. In some examples, the IOL has a plurality of haptics, each attached to the optic at a gusset, where each gusset extends beyond the optic edge toward an optic center such that the gusset at least partially overlaps with the anterior surface of the optic. In some examples, the IOL includes a ring structure integral with the optic and surrounding the perimeter of the optic edge, the ring structure having a thickness and the optic edge having a thickness, the ring structure thickness greater than the optic edge thickness.

    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.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) assembly into an eye may be provided. An apparatus for delivery of a lens component into an eye may include a housing. The apparatus may further include a plunger at least partially disposed in the housing, wherein the housing comprises an elongated portion and a viscoelastic soft tip at a distal end of the elongated portion, wherein the viscoelastic soft tip has a storage modulus of about 1 megapascal (MPa) to about 300 MPa and a loss module of about 1 MPa to about 300 MPa. The apparatus may further include a drive mechanism operatively coupled to plunger and configured to cause the plunger to translate in the housing. The apparatus may further include a nozzle operatively coupled to the housing through which the plunger delivers the lens component into the eye.
