    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for maintaining the position of a suction cone on an eye during laser ophthalmic surgery that includes determining a distance and direction the suction cone or a support must be adjusted to maintain the position of the suction cone within an optimal working range, based on a detected position of the suction cone. The disclosure further provides a method for maintaining the position of a suction cone by determining a distance and direction the suction cone or a support must be adjusted to maintain the position of the suction cone within an optimal working range, based on a detected position of the suction cone. In the system and the method, a control signal is generated to adjust the position of the suction cone and/or the support to maintain the suction cone within the optimal working range.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for automated fine adjustment of an ophthalmic surgery support in which an eye tracking system detects a detectable position of an eye. The direction and distance the support must be adjusted for the eye to be centered may be determined based on the detectable position. A control signal is generated and transmitted to a control device that adjusts the position of the support to center the eye. The disclosure further provides a method for automated fine adjustment of a support, which includes detecting a detectable position of an eye, determining whether the eye is centered in relation to the center of the detection field of an eye tracking system based on the detectable position, determining a direction and a distance the detectable position must be adjusted to be centered, and generating and transmitting a control signal to adjust the position of the support.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for femtosecond ophthalmic surgery in which the position of a suction cone in the z direction is measured via the measuring device to generate data that is processed and used to create a pictorial representation, a histogram, or other graph based on the data. The pictorial representation may include at least one threshold marker. The disclosure further provides a method of performing docking in femtosecond laser ophthalmic surgery including measuring the position of a suction cone with a measuring device, and transmitting data regarding the position to a processor which processes the data and uses it to create a pictorial representation, histogram, or other graph that is presented on a display.

    Abstract: An ophthalmic laser processing apparatus comprises: a laser device that outputs a pulsed laser beam towards an eye; an image capturing device that captures an image of the eye and provides image data; and a control device that detects eye movement based on the image data and controls the beam focus based on a predetermined eye processing pattern and the eye movement. The apparatus further comprises a visualization device controlled by the control device to output a visualization of a graphical illustration. The graphical illustration represents at least one of (a) a value of an eye parameter determined on the basis of the image data; (b) a frequency distribution of a value of an eye parameter determined on the basis of the image data; and (c) a range of values of a pupil diameter determined on the basis of the image data.
