Abstract

An ophthalmic surgical microscope includes a beam coupler positioned along an optical path of the surgical microscope between a first eyepiece and magnifying / focusing optics, the beam coupler operableto direct the OCT imaging beam along a first portion of the optical path of the surgical microscope between the beam coupler and a patient's eye (an OCT image being generated based on a reflected portion of the OCT imaging beam). The surgical microscope additionally includes a real-time data projection unit operable to project the OCT image generated by the OCT system and a beam splitter positioned along the optical path of the surgical microscope between a second eyepiece and the magnifying / focusing optics. The beam splitter is operable to direct the projected OCT image along a second portion of the optical path of the surgical microscope between the beam splitter and the second eyepiece such that the projected OCT image is viewable through the second eyepiece.

Description

[0001] This application is an application for an invention patent titled "Surgical Microscope with Integrated Optical Coherence Tomography and Display System" of PCT application PCT / IB2016 / 053332 with Chinese application number 201680036657.0 and filing date of June 7, 2016 Divisional application. technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to surgical microscopes for ophthalmic surgery, and more particularly to surgical microscopes with integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) and display systems. Background technique [0003] Eye surgeons often rely on surgical microscopes to see minute details of a patient's eye during eye surgery. One type of eye surgery - vitreoretinal surgery - involves vitrectomy (removal of the vitreous from the posterior chamber to gain access to the retina). Successful execution of vitrectomy requires essentially complete removal of the vitreous, including the most challenging region near the vitreous base. Due to the t...
