Abstract

An ocular surgical apparatus is provided, including a processor configured to receive ocular surgical data and a graphical user interface configured to display the ocular surgical data to a user. The processor configured to filter the ocular surgical data and the graphical user interface configured to display filtered ocular surgical data. The processor is configured to receive a number of ocular surgical data samples, discard selected ocular surgical data samples thereby yielding a number of emphasized samples, and perform an operation on the number of emphasized samples to produce filtered ocular surgical data.

Claims

1. An ocular surgical apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to filter ocular surgical data; and

a graphical user interface configured to receive the ocular surgical data and display the ocular surgical data to a user;

wherein the processor is configured to receive a number of ocular surgical data samples, deemphasize selected ocular surgical data samples thereby yielding a number of emphasized samples, and perform an operation on the number of emphasized samples to produce filtered ocular surgical data.

2. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 1, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to receive filtering parameters from a user, and the processor is configured to process the filtering parameters received from the user.

3. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor employs expected maximum and minimum values for ocular surgical data to be filtered.

4. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 3, wherein the processor further employs an amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary.

5. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 1, wherein the operation comprises an averaging operation of the number of emphasized samples.

6. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 2, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to receive filtering parameters from the user during a surgical procedure.

7. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 4, wherein the expected maximum and minimum values and the amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary are based on prior readings.

8. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 4, wherein the expected maximum and minimum values and the amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary are obtained from a database.

9. An ocular surgical apparatus comprising:

a graphical user interface; and

a processor;

wherein the processor is configured to receive ocular surgical data during an ocular surgical procedure and display the ocular surgical data on the graphical user interface using a format comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of a numerical representation and a graphical representation;

wherein the processor is configured to filter the ocular surgical data and display filtered ocular surgical data in the format;

wherein the processor is further configured to receive a number of ocular surgical data samples, deemphasize selected ocular surgical data samples thereby yielding a number of emphasized samples, and perform an operation on the number of emphasized samples to produce filtered ocular surgical data for display according to the format.

10. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 9, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to receive filtering parameters from a user, and the processor is configured to process the filtering parameters received from the user.

11. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor employs expected maximum and minimum values for ocular surgical data to be filtered.

12. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 11, wherein the processor further employs an amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary.

13. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 9, wherein the operation comprises an averaging operation of the number of emphasized samples.

14. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 10, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to receive filtering parameters from the user during the ocular surgical procedure.

15. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 13, wherein the expected maximum and minimum values and the amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary are based on prior readings.

16. The ocular surgical apparatus of claim 13, wherein the expected maximum and minimum values and the amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary are obtained from a database.

17. An ocular surgical procedure comprising:

receiving ocular surgical data at a processor;

filtering the ocular surgical data using the processor to form filtered ocular surgical data; and

displaying the filtered ocular surgical data on a graphical user interface;

wherein filtering the ocular surgical data comprises;

identifying a predetermined number of ocular surgical data samples;

deemphasizing selected ocular surgical data samples thereby yielding a number of emphasized samples; and

performing an operation on the number of emphasized samples to produce the filtered ocular surgical data.

18. The ocular surgical procedure of claim 17, further comprising receiving filtering parameters from a user, and wherein filtering the ocular surgical data further comprises processing the filtering parameters received from the user.

19. The ocular surgical procedure of claim 17, wherein the filtering employs expected maximum and minimum values for ocular surgical data to be filtered.

20. The ocular surgical procedure of claim 17, wherein the filtering further employs an amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary.

21. The ocular surgical procedure of claim 17, wherein the operation comprises an averaging operation of the number of emphasized samples.

22. The ocular surgical procedure of claim 18, further comprising receiving filtering parameters from the user during a surgical procedure.

23. The ocular surgical procedure of claim 20, wherein the expected maximum and minimum values and the amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary are based on prior readings.

24. The ocular surgical procedure of claim 20, wherein the expected maximum and minimum values and the amount of time over which the ocular surgical data is expected to vary are obtained from a database.
