Systems may include camera(s) configured to capture and magnify eye image(s) (possibly stereoscopic), a tissue position and orientation (P&O) tracker configured in to track a P&O of a specified eye tissue, a tool P&O tracker configured to track a P&O of treatment tool(s) and derive a tool tip pointing vector therefrom, a processing unit configured to calculate an intersection between the tool tip pointing vector and the specified eye tissue and to relate spatially optical coherence tomography (OCT) image(s) of the eye tissue to the tool tip location and/or to the intersection, and a display module configured to display the magnified image(s) of the eye tissue with the OCT image(s) associated therewith according to the spatial relation. An OCT imager may be mounted on the tool tip to provide the OCT image(s) in real time.
