A vision screening device for administering vision screening tests to a patient, to determine the presence of diseases and/or abnormalities in the eye(s) of the patient, is described herein. The vision screening device may include associated methods and systems configured to perform the operations of the vision screening tests. The device may include a radiation source configured to generate near-infrared (NIR) radiation, a sensor configured to capture a grayscale image representing the radiation reflected by the eye(s) of the patient, a white light source, and a camera configured to capture a color image of the eye of the patient. The device may also be configured to generate a composite image based on the grayscale image and/or the color image, determine a difference between a value associated with the eye and an expected value, and generate an output indicative of a condition associated with the eye(s) based on the difference.

An ophthalmic lens system for reducing the risk of progression of a myopic eye by selectively maintaining, inducing or creating asymmetry of the peripheral retinal profile for the eye. A method for reducing the risk of progression of myopia comprising determining the magnitude of asymmetry of the on-axis/off-axis refractive error profile or eye length profile of the eye and providing an ophthalmic lens system that corrects for and provides acceptable on-axis vision and simultaneously controls the position of the off-axis refractive error profile or eye length profile such that resultant profile of the eye is asymmetric.

Embodiments of this invention generally relate to ophthalmic laser procedures and, more particularly, to systems and methods for lenticular laser incision. In an embodiment, an ophthalmic surgical laser system comprises a laser delivery system for delivering a pulsed laser beam to a target in a subject's eye, an XY-scan device to deflect the pulsed laser beam, a Z-scan device to modify a depth of a focus of the pulsed laser beam, and a controller configured to form a top lenticular incision and a bottom lenticular incision of a lens in the subject's eye, where each of the top and bottom lenticular incision includes a center concave portion and an edge transition portion that has a smooth convex shape and is smoothly joined to the center concave portion.

In some embodiments, a microsurgical instrument includes a trocar having a rigid, hollow shaft formed with a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the shaft. The distal end of the shaft may be shaped for tissue penetration. The instrument may further include a composite microcannula slidably engaged with the trocar in the lumen. The microcannula includes a light guide and a flexible hollow tube having an outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the lumen in the trocar. Other embodiments include placing the microcannula in the lumen of the trocar, illuminating the end of the trocar by illuminating the end of the microcannula, advancing the trocar from a selected entry point on an eye into a selected structure in the eye, and extending the illuminated end of the microcannula from the trocar into the selected structure.

A multifunctional ophthalmic instrument and method for assessing ocular surface health is disclosed. The instrument includes an illumination projector, which contains broadband light sources, covering visible and near infrared spectra, a zoom lens system with continuously variable magnification, a detection system to record said images, and a computer to display and analyze said images. Preferably, an eye alignment system with a beamsplitter is used to provide a fixation target for the eye under assessment. An optional thermal camera, operating in the long wave infrared spectrum is aligned paraxially to the zoom lens system. Further, an optional separate video camera is used to monitor the blink rate. Corneal topography and tear break up time could be evaluated with a low magnification, and microscopic features, such as tear meniscus height, meibomian gland orifices, are imaged at a high magnification. Meibomian glands and lipid layer thickness are analyzed with visible and near infrared spectra.

Methods, systems, and storage media for projecting a viewer-specific 3D object perspectives from a single 3D display are disclosed. Implementations may: acquire face and eye region image data of a plurality of viewers within a field of view of at least one camera associated with a 3D-enabled digital display; analyze the eye region image data to determine at least one 3D eye position, at least one eye state, at least one gaze angle, and at least one point-of-regard for a viewer relative to at least one camera associated with the 3D-enabled digital display; and calculate a plurality of processed image projections for display by the single 3D display. The digital-processing of input image projection enables a separate optical input to the user's eyes, and by the use of visual-acuity pre-processing of the image—via visual-field kernel, enables the treatment of eye abbreviations, including an Amblyopic-eye without the need for any additional eye-ware, or head-up-displays (HMD's).

An optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for imaging a retina applies a user specific focus correction to focus a sample arm light beam on the user's retina. An OCT image detector generates an OCT signal. A control unit monitors the OCT signal, controls a reference arm optical path length adjustment mechanism to identify a length of the reference arm optical path for which the OCT signal corresponds to an OCT image of the retina, and varies an operational parameter of the sample arm light beam focus mechanism over a range, while maintaining the length of the reference arm optical path for which the OCT signal corresponds to the OCT image of the retina, to identify a focus correction for the user, based on the OCT signal, for application to the sample arm light beam.
