Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for aiding a surgeon to perform a surgical procedure on an eye. The surgical procedure includes inserting an elongate probe from an opening into the eye across an anterior chamber to a target tissue region comprising a trabecular meshwork and a Schlemm's canal. Exemplary systems include an optical microscope for the surgeon to view the eye with a microscope image during the procedure; an optical coherence tomography (OCT) apparatus configured to perform an OCT scan of a target location in the target tissue region during the procedure; and an image processing apparatus configured to generate an augmented image by overlaying an OCT image of target location and a graphical visual element identifying the locations, wherein the graphical visual element is registered with the microscope image to aid the surgeon in advancing a distal end of the elongate probe to the target location.

Claim (Index 8):
The method according to  claim 4 , wherein a graphical visual element corresponding to an inner wall of Schlemm's canal of the eye is overlaid the microscope view or the microscope image, and wherein the method includes determining that the inner wall of Schlemm's canal has been penetrated when the graphical visual element corresponding to the inner wall of Schlemm's canal disappears from the microscope view or the microscope image.
