RETINAL IMAGING SYSTEM
A retinal imaging system is provided. The system comprises: a fundus camera having a focusing mechanism; an imaging module configured for imaging user's face and eyes and providing image date indicative of a relative orientation between an optical axis of the fundus camera and a line of sight of user's eye at user's eye target position; a position and alignment system configured and operable to utilize the image data indicative of said relative orientation for positioning the fundus camera at an operative position such that the optical axis substantially coincides with the line of sight of user's eye, to enable focusing the fundus camera on the retina; a sensing system comprising one or more sensors, configured and operable for monitoring a user's face position with respect to a predetermined registration position and generating corresponding sensing data; and a safety controller configured and operable to be responsive to the sensing data, and upon identifying that the user's face position with respect to the predetermined registration position
SURGICAL MICROSCOPE SYSTEM AND SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR A SURGICAL MICROSCOPE SYSTEM
Examples relate to a surgical microscope system, and to a system, a method and a computer program for a surgical microscope system. The system comprises one or more processors and one or more storage devices. The system is configured to obtain intraoperative sensor data of at least a portion of an eye from a Doppler-based imaging sensor of the surgical microscope system. The system is configured to process the intraoperative sensor data to determine information on a blood flow within the eye. The system is configured to generate a visualization of the blood flow. The system is configured to provide a display signal to a display device of the surgical microscope system based on the visualization of the blood flow within the eye.
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY PATIENT ALIGNMENT SYSTEM FOR HOME BASED OPHTHALMIC APPLICATIONS
Improved optical coherence tomography systems and methods to measure retinal data are presented. The systems may be compact, provide in-home monitoring, and have automation to allow the patient to measure himself or herself.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISEASE DIAGNOSIS
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for diagnosing disease. In some aspects, an imaging system is provided that includes a light source configured to illuminate a retina of the eye with light, one or more imaging devices configured to receive light returned from the retina to generate one or more spatial-spectral images of the retina, and a computing device configured to receive the one or more spatial-spectral images of the retina, evaluate the one or more spatial-spectral images, and identify one or more biomarkers indicative of a neurogenerative pathology.
OPHTHALMIC APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
An ophthalmic apparatus includes an illumination optical system that generates slit-shaped illumination light using a first light source; an optical scanner that deflects the illumination light to a fundus of a subject's eye; an imaging optical system that captures light from the fundus using a rolling shutter method; an acquisition unit that acquires a fundus image of the subject's eye using light from a second light source; a flare determination unit that determines whether or not flare occurs by analyzing the fundus image; a controller that performs flare optimization control by controlling at least one of the first light source, the illumination optical system, the optical scanner, the imaging optical system, and the image sensor based on a first determination result obtained by the flare determination unit; and an image forming unit that forms an image of the fundus when the flare does not occur.
LIGHT SHIELDING SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTRORETINOGRAM AND METHOD OF SHIELDING AT LEAST ONE EYE FROM INCIDENT LIGHT
A light shielding system configured to shield at least one eye of a patient from incident light for an electroretinogram includes a substantially lighttight shielding box enclosing an inner space arranged to receive a handheld Ganzfeld stimulator, which box is mountable over the at least one eye of the patient; the box including at least one sleeve extending into the box to allow manipulation of the Ganzfeld stimulator.
OPHTHALMIC PORTABLE LASER SLIT LAMP AND METHOD FOR EYE INSPECTION
An ophthalmic portable laser slit lamp for ophthalmic examination and a method of eye inspection. The device comprises a portable housing containing an electronic timer circuit, a rechargeable battery, a laser module containing a laser emitting diode, a fixed focusing lens that sets the appropriate focal distance for the examination method and a line generator lens acting as a slit aperture. The laser beam aimed to the eye of the patient illuminates the eye with a very thin straight laser line at a fixed focal distance. The device also comprises a safety timer circuit that protects the patients eye against irradiation overload. The method of the invention allows the surgeon to detect surgical eye disorders at the operating room and helps to carry out a correct diagnosis in a much more precise and effective way than any light or laser spot device.
MULTISPECTRAL FUNDUS IMAGING
A fundus imager includes a handheld housing that supports a lighting unit configured to illuminate an eye fundus. The lighting unit includes one or more light-emitting diodes. The housing further supports a camera configured to capture one or more images of the eye fundus, and a display configured to display the one or more images of the eye fundus. The fundus imager captures at least one multispectral fundus image using the camera, and displays the at least one multispectral fundus image on the display.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISION TEST AND USES THEREOF
Systems and methods for vision test and uses thereof are disclosed. A method may be implemented on a mobile device having at least a processor, a camera and a display screen. The method may include capturing at least one image of a user using the camera of the mobile device; interactively guiding the user to a predetermined distance from the display screen of the mobile device based on the at least one image; presenting material on the display screen upon a determination that the user is at the predetermined distance from the display screen; and receiving input from the user in response to the material presented on the display screen. The material presented on the display screen may be for assessing at least one characteristic of the user's vision. Mobile devices and non-transitory machine-readable mediums having machine-executable instructions embodied thereon for assessing a user's vision also are disclosed.
Digital-based medical devices
A skin measuring microscope includes a housing, an electronic imager disposed along an imaging axis, and an illumination system. The illumination system includes a plurality of LEDs disposed in a ring-like configuration adjacent a distal end of the housing.
