Abstract

An ophthalmic surgical system includes a display device and a user interface. The display device generates a display on an image of a patient's eye comprising a plurality of non-overlapping display sectors. Each display sector displays one of a plurality of user-selectable surgical parameters. A user interface receives a user selection of one or more of the user-selectable surgical parameters to be displayed.

Claims (14)

1. A phacoemulsification surgery system, comprising:

a user interface configured to receive a user selection of at least two user-selectable surgical parameters for a phacoemulsification surgery; and

a display device configured to generate a display on an image of a patient's eye during the phacoemulsification surgery, the display comprising a plurality of non-overlapping display sectors each falling within a sector of a circle centered at the center of the display, each display sector displaying one of the plurality of user-selectable surgical parameters.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises a selection screen displayed to the user.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generated display on the image of the patient's eye further comprises a target axis for astigmatic correction using a toric lens.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generated display on the image of the patient's eye further comprises an incision guide indicating a determined location for an incision.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user-selectable surgical parameters include a vacuum pressure.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user-selectable surgical parameters include a power level.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user-selectable surgical parameters include an indication of activity of a laser source.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the user-selectable surgical parameters is displayed as a variable gauge.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the variable gauge is a bubble gauge.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display device displays a lighted display.
