An ophthalmic visualization system can include an ocular lens positioned between a macular contact lens coupled to a procedure eye and a surgical microscope. The ocular lens can guide a light beam through the macular contact lens and into the procedure eye, and in combination with the macular contact lens generate an intermediate image of the procedure eye at an image plane between the procedure eye and the surgical microscope. The system can include a reduction lens positioned in the optical path between the surgical microscope and the ocular lens. The reduction lens and/or ocular lens can align a focus plane of the surgical microscope with the image plane. A method of visualizing a procedure eye in an ophthalmic procedure can include positioning an ocular lens and a reduction lens between a macular contact lens and a surgical microscope； and scanning the procedure eye with a light beam.
