The present disclosure provides a system and method for indirectly determining weight on eye, the weight resulting from contact between the eye and a docking apparatus for laser ophthalmic surgery. The system includes a docking apparatus, a measuring device, a display and a processor that determines a relative distance between a detectable position of a component of the docking apparatus and a neutral position of the eye, determines the weight on eye by reference to sensed force-distance reference data, and generates and transmits a pictorial representation of weight on eye to a display. The disclosure further provides a method for indirectly determining weight on eye, the weight resulting from contact between the eye and a docking apparatus for laser ophthalmic surgery.本揭露提供了一種用於間接確定眼睛上的重量之系統及方法,重量由眼睛與用於雷射眼外科手術的對接設備之間的接觸產生。該系統包括對接設備、測量裝置、顯示器、以及處理器,該處理器確定該對接設備的部件的可檢測位置與該眼睛的中性位置之間的相對距離、藉由參考傳感力-距離參考數據確定眼睛上的重量、並且產生眼睛上的重量之圖形表示並且將其傳輸至顯示器。本揭露另外提供了一種用於間接確定眼睛上的重量之方法,重量由眼睛與用於雷射眼外科手術的對接設備之間的接觸產生。
