Abstract
In certain embodiments, an ophthalmic laser system include a laser system, imaging system, and computer. The laser system accesses a planned test pattern of a planned laser spot having a planned beam feature and directs a laser beam towards a test target located at a target plane according to the planned test pattern to yield an actual test pattern of an actual laser spot having an actual beam feature. The imaging system includes one or more digital cameras that generate a digital image of the actual test pattern of the actual laser spot. The computer analyzes the digital image to compare the actual laser spot to the planned laser spot, to detect a deviation of the actual beam feature from the planned beam feature, to identify an issue indicated by the deviation, and to provide output in response to the issue.
