Abstract
A system for controlling a device in ophthalmic refractive surgery includes a processor, a controller, a treatment laser, and a signal receiver. A remote device has a plurality of input elements. At least one input element when activated is configured to emit a discrete signal that is received by the signal receiver and is mapped to an action to be signaled by the controller. A software package is adapted to translate data from the signal receiver into a signal for directing at least the controller. A method for configuring a system for controlling a device in ophthalmic refractive surgery includes providing a remote device as above. A software package resident on a processor receives and translates signal data from the remote device into control data for a hardware element. The software package is also adapted to output a control signal correlated with the control data to the hardware element.
