Systems and methods for long working distance optical coherence tomography (OCT). According to an aspect, an OCT system includes a reference arm. Further, the OCT system includes a sample arm operably connected to the reference arm. The sample arm includes a scanner configured to scan an optical beam. The sample arm also includes an objective positioned a predetermined distance from the scanner, configured to receive the optical beam, and to direct the optical beam to an object positioned at about the predetermined distance from the scanner for imaging of the object.

Systems and methods for eye tracking for motion corrected ophthalmic optical coherence tomography (OCT) are disclosed. According to an aspect, an imaging system includes an eye tracking device configured to determine movement of an eye. The imaging system also includes an OCT apparatus configured to generate OCT images of a retina of the eye. The OCT apparatus includes a scanner operable to be moved for relocating an OCT scan pivot at a pupil plane for image capture and during capture of the OCT images. The imaging system also includes a controller configured to control the scanner to relocate the OCT scan pivot at the pupil plane based on the determined movement of the eye.

Stereoscopic display systems and methods for displaying surgical data and information in a surgical microscope are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system includes first and second eyepieces. The system includes a display having first and second display portions, configured to display first images in the first display portion, and configured to display second images in the second display portion. The first image and the second image are projected along a first pathway and a second pathway. The system includes a first optical element positioned to relay the first images into the first eyepiece. The system includes a second optical element positioned to relay the second images into the second eyepiece.

The present invention is directed to a method and system for improved aiming during Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) on young children and those unable to cooperate with OCT imaging by synchronization with retinal birefringence scanning (RBS). OCT is performed without knowing whether or not the subject is looking at the intended target. The present invention combines OCT retinal imaging, such as, but not limited to, time domain OCT, SDOCT, or SSOCT, with RBS technology that provides accurate information on the presence or absence of foveal fixation. Therefore, the present invention only analyzes data during foveal fixation. A system combining OCT with RBS is implemented such that both systems co-operate in a specified alignment, such that when the RBS fixation detection system detects alignment with the fovea of the eye, the OCT system will be aimed at the retinal region of interest, usually but not necessarily including the macular area.
