Application: Real-time surgical reference indicium apparatus and methods for intraocular lens implantation (Patent ID: US20230329831A1)
The patent filed by Alcon Inc. describes a system, method, and apparatus for performing intraocular lens implantation using real-time surgical reference indicium. The method involves recording a patient-specific pre-operative still image of the eye, generating a real-time multidimensional visualization of the eye, and using the pre-operative image to produce virtual surgical reference indicium aligned with the eye during surgery. The pre-operative image is captured under different dilation conditions. The apparatus includes photosensors, multidimensional visualization modules, displays, and data processors to facilitate the alignment of virtual reference indicium with the eye during surgery.
The apparatus further includes user input devices for adjusting the alignment of the pre-operative image with the real-time visualization, particularly for aligning an intraocular lens with the virtual surgical reference indicium. The specific visual features used for alignment include various structures on the eye's surface such as vasculature, vascular networks, patterns in the iris, corneal scratches, and retinal features. The apparatus allows for precise stereoscopic guidance during surgery, with the virtual reference indicium being fixed in orientation relative to the specific visual features identified in the pre-operative image. The system aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of intraocular lens implantation procedures by providing real-time guidance based on patient-specific data.
