An ophthalmic apparatus includes an objective lens arranged to be passed through by first and second measurement optical axes that are positioned at a distance from each other. An OCT optical system performs OCT on a subject's left eye arranged on the first measurement optical axis or a subject's right eye arranged on the second measurement optical axis. An optical axis adjusting unit adjusts an optical axis of the OCT optical system under control of a controller so that the optical axis approximately coincides with any one of the first measurement optical axis and the second measurement optical axis. An intraocular parameter calculator calculates an intraocular parameter of the subject's left or right eye based on a detection result of interference light acquired in a state where the optical axis of the OCT optical system approximately coincides with the first or second measurement optical axis.

20230218163 · 2023-07-13 ·

A vision screening device displays visual stimuli and captures image(s) of the eye while the visual stimuli is changing over a period of time. The vision screening device uses the images to determine and monitor refractive error, ambient light level(s), pupil size, and gaze angle as the visual stimuli changes over the time period. Based on the refractive error, a determination of hyperopia and/or presbyopia is made. Based on the gaze angle and/or the pupil size, a confidence metric is determined. Based on the confidence metric and/or the determination, a recommendation for the patient is generated and displayed.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ASSESSING PHOTORECEPTOR FUNCTION

A method for non-invasive assessment of photoreceptor function in a mammalian subject comprises exposing a subject's eye to a visible light stimulus to initiate an intrinsic reflectance response in one or a population of photoreceptors and capturing multiple images of photoreceptor's intrinsic reflectance response to the stimulus. Patterns of variability in the intrinsic reflectance response of a single photoreceptor or population of photoreceptors are useful in diagnosis and treatment monitoring of an ocular condition, disease, disorder or a response to treatment for said ocular condition, disease or disorder.
