Color vision assessment for displays
An electronic device may include a display and control circuitry that operates the display. The control circuitry may be configured to daltonize input images to produce daltonized output images that allow a user with color vision deficiency to see a range of detail that the user would otherwise miss. The daltonization algorithm may be specific to the type and severity of color vision deficiency that the user has. The control circuitry may conduct a color vision assessment using the display. The color vision assessment may include a sequence of test images that are each displayed for a predetermined period of time before moving to the next test image in the sequence. Each test image may include a color patch on a neutral background. A predetermined number of severity levels for each type of color vision deficiency may be tested during the color vision assessment.

The invention also claims a method for photographing and integrating information associated with the images, videos, or other data generated from the eye examination.
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY-BASED OPHTHALMIC TESTING METHODS, DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an optical coherence tomography-based ophthalmic testing center system includes an optical coherence tomography instrument comprising an eyepiece for receiving at least one eye of a user or subject; a light source that outputs light that is directed through the eyepiece into the user's or subject's eye, an interferometer configured to produce optical interference using light reflected from the user's/subject's eye, an optical detector disposed so as to detect said optical interference; and a processing unit coupled to the detector. The ophthalmic testing center system can be configured to perform a multitude of self-administered functional and/or structural ophthalmic tests and output the test data
STROKE DETECTION USING OCULAR PULSE ESTIMATION
A system and method for detecting a stroke includes a non-contact ocular pulse measurement device configured to output a first and a second ocular pulse measurement signals for each of a patient's eyes, respectively. A computing system has a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions that when executed cause the processor to analyze the first and second ocular pulse measurements. An index of difference between the first and second ocular pulse measurements is determined, and a user interface is generated that includes a stroke advisory to the patient based on the index of difference.
Illumination evaluation or recommendation using visual function
Illumination can be evaluated for patient using a system including a housing, an adjustable light source mechanically coupled to the housing and configured to illuminate an object for viewing by the patient on an axis substantially perpendicular to a surface of the object. A user-adjustable input coupled to the adjustable light source is to obtain information from a user indicative of a calibrated illuminance and a color property to be provided by the adjustable light source including providing a range of adjustable illuminance and color properties selectable by the user. The adjustable light source can be configured to provide light having an illuminance in excess of 300 lux, and the housing can be configured to provide a first specified distance between the adjustable light source and the object for viewing and to obstruct viewing of the light source directly by the patient.
