Abstract:
Systems and processes for performing posterior segment visualization and surgery assist a surgeon during surgery. Adapted instruments (I) used in ocular surgery include unique indicia, markings, or the like ( 40 ) which, when in the surgical field, can be identified by the system ( FIG. 9 ). In turn, the system modifies the images that are projected into a display ( 10 ), e.g., a heads-up display, used by the surgeon, to display parameter data that is particular to the instrument (I) in use. The system also tracks the tip ( 16 ) of the instrument (I) in real time, determines the tissue that is closest to the instrument tip, automatically collects OCT data for that tissue, and displays images ( 20, 22 ) representative of that data in the display used by the surgeon. In this way, as the surgeon moves a surgical instrument around in the surgical field of the eye, the system automatically displays OCT image data of the tissue closest to the instrument tip.

Claim (Index 6):
A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said external surface indicia are at or adjacent to a distal tip of each instrument.
