Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus for performing enhanced visually directed procedures under low ambient light conditions are disclosed. An example method includes acquiring at least one real-time high resolution video signal representing at least one view of an eye in at least one wavelength of light outside of the wavelengths of visible light. The example method also includes converting the at least one view corresponding to the at least one real-time high resolution video signal at the at least one wavelength of light outside of the wavelengths of visible light into at least one wavelength of visible light. The at least one real-time high resolution video signal is acquired after light conditions are low enough such that a pupil of the eye does not constrict substantially from its maximum pupillary diameter.
