         2 . The surgical system of  claim 1 , further comprising a processing device configured to:
 receive surgical instrument operation data from one or more surgical instruments; and   instruct at least one of the display device or an additional display device to display the received surgical instrument operation data.   
     
     
         3 . The surgical system of  claim 2 , wherein the processing device is an integral processor within the display device. 
     
     
         4 . The surgical system of  claim 2 , wherein the processing device is separate from and in electrical communication with the display device. 
     
     
         5 . The surgical system of  claim 1 , further comprising a processing device configured to:
 receive patient data from at least one of a patient data store or a patient monitoring system, and   instruct at least one of the display device or an additional display device to display the received patient data.   
     
     
         6 . The surgical system of  claim 1 , further comprising a processing device configured to:
 receive the acquired image data; and   instruct the display device to display the acquired image representing the acquired image data.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the patient data includes at least one of heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, radiographs, computed cone beam tomography images, photographs, medical history, or personal data. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the surgical instrument data includes at least one of torque, quantity of medication delivered, revolutions per minute, pneumatic pressure, temperature, or attachment wear. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the patient data includes a computed cone beam tomography image, the processing device further configured to:
 align the cone beam tomography image with the acquired image;   instruct the display device to overlay the displayed acquired image with the aligned cone beam tomography image.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the patient data includes a computed cone beam tomography image, the processing device further configured to:
 identify locations of interest based on the computed cone beam tomography image; and   instruct the display device to render visual indicators at the locations of interest within the displayed acquired image.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the patient data includes a computed cone beam tomography image, the processing device further configured to:
 identify one or more sectioning planes based on the computed cone beam tomography image; and   instruct the display device to render visual representations of the sectioning planes within the displayed acquired image.   
     
     
         12 . The surgical system of  claim 1 , further comprising a processing device configured to:
 receive a user appointment schedule from a scheduling database; and   instruct at least one of the display device or the additional display device to display the user appointment schedule.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a beam splitter optically coupled between the optical device and the image sensor; and   an eyepiece optically coupled to the optical device via the beam splitter.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the optical device is at least one of a microscope, dental microscope, surgical microscope, endoscope, exoscope, loupe, magnifying glass, eyepiece, binocular, or telescope. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the optical device is a dental microscope. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a camera adapter optically coupled between the image sensor and the optical device. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the camera adapter includes one or more of a focus adjustment, an iris, or a zoom lens. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a movable mount connected to the display device for repositioning the display device relative to the optical device.
