Abstract

A system (10) is provided that includes a patient support structure (200) for performing laser ophthalmic surgery thereon. The patient support structure includes a movable platform having a headrest area (205) and a patient identification device integrated into the platform. The identification device (13) is adapted to receive a signal from a patient-borne device '(201) and is operable to communicate with a processor (14) for automatically confirming patient identity. A temperature and a humidity sensor are positioned adjacent the headrest area. A heatable cushion (40) is provided for heating at least a portion of the patient positionable on the platform. A calibration stage (29) is also provided for calibrating a patient head position, wherein the calibration means is integral to the structure and positioned adjacent the headrest area. The platform can be moved from a first position for entry/exit and/or for flap cutting and a second position for performing a corneal ablation.
