1. An imaging and laser delivery system for treating an eye condition, the imaging and laser delivery system comprising:
a scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) system configured to generate light for passing through an SLO optical pathway for SLO imaging;
an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system configured to generate light for passing through an OCT optical pathway for OCT imaging;
a treatment laser comprising a femtosecond laser configured to generate light for passing through a treatment optical pathway;
an objective lens configured to focus light from the SLO optical pathway, the OCT optical pathway and the treatment optical pathway onto a portion of an eye; and
a splitter, wherein the splitter is configured to direct light from the SLO system and reflected from the eye back to the SLO optical pathway, and wherein the splitter is further configured to direct light from the OCT system and reflected from the eye back to the OCT optical pathway,
wherein the imaging and laser delivery system includes a machine learning algorithm configured to generate, based on images captured by at least one of the SLO system or the OCT system, one or more parameters for modifying a treatment plan to control the treatment laser for delivering one or more light beams to the eye, wherein the one or more parameters comprise at least one of: a shape of a cutting path of the treatment laser, a path of treatment with the treatment laser, a location of treatment with the treatment laser, and optimal laser parameters for the treatment laser.
