Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for visualizing moving tissue with strobed light are provided. A surgical system includes a surgical device configured to operate on anatomy at a first frequency such that the anatomy moves at the first frequency when the surgical device is in contact therewith; and a light source configured to provide pulses of light at a second frequency to illuminate the moving anatomy; wherein the second frequency is different than the first frequency. A method of treating an ophthalmic condition includes operating a surgical device at a first frequency such that anatomy moves at the first frequency when the surgical device is contacted therewith; and controlling a light source to provide pulses of light at a second frequency to illuminate the moving anatomy; wherein the second frequency is different than the first frequency. An ophthalmic surgical system includes a cutting probe, a strobed light source, and a computing device.
