Disclosed are devices and methods for correlating or aligning pre-surgical
image(s) with image(s) observed during a surgical procedure to aid in
orientation of tissues and devices for performing a surgical procedure.
In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides devices and methods for
aligning pre-surgical image(s) of optical tissues or structures, e.g.,
the retina, with real-time images observed or obtained with a slit lamp,
or other optical viewing device. The ability of the subject invention to
correlate these images can advantageously provide the physician with
greater accuracy when administering surgical treatment, such as with a
laser, and can significantly reduce surgery time.
