Abstract

An eye surgery visualization system includes an image sensor and contains an imaging system for producing an image of an object region with an optical imaging beam path in an imaging plane on an image sensor. A computer unit has an image processing routine for an image of the object region, the image having been captured by the image sensor. An image display unit visualizes image data of an image processed in the computer unit. An ophthalmoscopy loupe of the system images a portion lying within a patient's eye in an intermediate image plane that is conjugate to the imaging plane on the image sensor. The image processing routine separates the first portions of the image of the object region from second portions of the image of the object region in the imaging plane on the image sensor.
