    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 for performing ophthalmic surgery includes a robotic positioning system including an end effector. The robotic positioning system is configured to position the end effector with at least five degrees of freedom. An ophthalmic surgical instrument is mounted to the end effector along with an accessory device configured to facilitate performance of an ophthalmic treatment by the ophthalmic surgical instrument. The robotic positioning system may be controlled to enforce anatomical boundaries and implement predefined motion profiles.

    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: A system for performing ophthalmic treatments includes a handpiece configured to be held by a hand of a surgeon. An end effector is mounted to the handpiece and configured to manipulate tissue of a patient, such tissues of the eye when performing an ophthalmic treatment. The system includes a motion sensor configured to sense movement of the handpiece and one or more stabilizing actuators configured to stabilize movement of the handpiece in response to movement of the hand of the surgeon. A controller is coupled to the motion sensor and the one or more stabilizing actuators and is configured to instruct the one or more stabilizing actuators to compensate for motion detected by the motion sensor. The controller may include a high-pass filer with the output of the high-pass filter used to control the stabilizing actuators. The parameters of the high pass filter may be adjusted throughout an ophthalmic treatment.

    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 delivery device includes a conveyor, one or more imaging devices configured to have an eye of a patient in a field of view thereof, and an needle assembly configured to receive a drug to be injected into the eye of the patient. A staging assembly is mounted to the conveyor and includes one or more actuators configured to position the needle assembly relative to the eye of the patient. A controller is configured to receive one or more images from the one or more imaging devices; detect a location of anatomy of the eye of the patient in the one or more images; and activate the one or more actuators to drive a needle mounted to the needle assembly into a placement location on the eye of the patient according to the location of the anatomy. The controller activates the needle assembly to inject fluid into the eye or draw tissue out of the eye.
