Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatus for generating intraocular overlay patterns in an optical microscope. In one example, an intraocular overlay pattern is generated using a digital micromirror device located in the intermediate focal plane of a telecentric optical relay coupled between the objective lens and an eyepiece of the optical microscope. In some examples, the overlay pattern displays real-time visualization of intraoperative optical coherence tomography data and surgical field overlays. Such overlay patterns can beneficially be used, e.g., to provide real-time intraoperative feedback during ophthalmic surgery substantially without any interference with the surgical workflow.
