A method for display optimization includes receiving an image of a surgical site from an imaging system. The method further includes determining a region of interest at a first location within the image. The method further includes generating a surgical data overlay at a first position, the first position associated with the first location of the region of interest. The method further includes detecting that the region of interest has moved to a second location within the image. The method further includes, in response to detecting that the region of interest has moved to the second location, moving the surgical data overlay to a second position, the second position associated with the second location. The method further includes displaying the image and surgical data overlay to a user.
