    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a tip camera system that includes a probe including a probe body and a probe tip, an optical fiber light source, and an optical fiber positioned within the probe body that emits light at the probe tip to illuminate a local view of an interior of an eye. The system further includes a tip camera positioned in the probe tip and includes a sensor that detects light emitted by the optical fiber and reflected off the interior of the eye, and that sends a signal corresponding to the detected light to a processor. The system also includes an image processing system that includes the processor and that executes instructions to produce a tip camera digital image of the eye. The system also includes a digital display that displays the tip camera digital image of the eye.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a laser treatment system that includes an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system that generates a plurality of profile depth scans and executes instructions on a processor to detect a position, a volume, or a combination thereof, of a media opacity in an eye based on the plurality of profile depth scans. The system further includes a three-dimensional (3D) eye tracker that executes instructions on the processor to track the position, the volume, or a combination thereof, of the media opacity in the eye based on the plurality of profile depth scans. The system also includes a laser system that includes a treatment laser and that precisely targets a plurality of ultra-short laser pulses generated by the treatment laser at the media opacity in the eye to at least partially remove the media opacity.
