Abstract
A system and method for denaturing corneal tissue of a cornea. The system may include an optical recognition system that-can recognize a feature of the corneal. The recognized feature is used to register a desired probe location relative to the cornea. The desired probe location is displayed by a monitor. The system further includes a probe that is coupled to an arm. The arm contains position sensors that provide position information of the probe. The position information is used to map and display the actual position of the probe. By watching the monitor the user can move the probe into the desired probe location relative to the cornea. Once the probe is properly positioned energy is delivered to denature corneal tissue.
