Abstract: A surgical probe system comprising a surgical probe having an instrument tip, and at least one motion sensor located within the surgical probe that measures movement and orientation data. The system further includes a processor that is configured to determine movement and orientation of the instrument tip based on the movement and orientation data, and adjust at least one surgical parameter of the surgical probe based on the movement and orientation of the instrument tip to affect a predetermined surgical outcome.

Abstract: An ophthalmic surgical system includes an imaging unit configured to generate a fundus image of an eye and a depth imaging system configured to generate a depth-resolved image of the eye. The system further includes a tracking system communicatively coupled to the imaging unit and depth imaging system, the tracking system comprising a processor and memory configured to analyze the fundus image generated by the imaging unit to determine a location of a distal tip of a surgical instrument in the fundus image, analyze the depth-resolved image generated by the depth imaging system to determine a distance between the distal tip of the surgical instrument and a retina of the eye, generate a visual indicator to overlay a portion of the fundus image, the visual indicator indicating the determined distance between the distal tip and the retina, modify the visual indicator to track a change in the location of the distal tip within the fundus image in real-time, and modify the visual indicator to indicate a change in the distance between the distal tip of the surgical instrument and the retina in real-time.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for treating tissue abnormalities are disclosed. The tissue may be visualized for determining a presence of one or more abnormalities contained therein. Imaging data obtained by visualization may be used to determine the presence of one or more abnormalities. Each of the detected abnormalities may be identified and a treatment plan developed for treating the abnormalities. Treatment may be delivered to the abnormalities according to the treatment plan.
