A body-mounted laser-indirect ophthalmoscope (LIO) system for delivering laser energy into an eye of a patient includes a wearable assembly which secures a control module, laser module, and/or power module (including a battery) to the body of the user. The control module receives activation signals and parameter information from an activation unit a mobile computing device and controls the laser energy emitted by the laser module based on the parameter information. The parameter information is user-provided via a graphical user interface or by voice control (e.g. recognizing voice commands in audio data captured by the mobile computing device). In the preferred embodiment, the wearable assembly includes only a headset, in which case the control, power and laser modules are provided on the headset; however, an alternative embodiment includes a utility belt from which a fiber optic cable for emitting the laser energy is routed to the headset.
