Augmented and virtual reality display systems and methods for diagnosing health conditions based on visual fields
Configurations are disclosed for a health system to be used in various healthcare applications, e.g., for patient diagnostics, monitoring, and/or therapy. The health system may comprise a light generation module to transmit light or an image to a user, one or more sensors to detect a physiological parameter of the user's body, including their eyes, and processing circuitry to analyze an input received in response to the presented images to determine one or more health conditions or defects.
Methods, apparatus, and systems for ophthalmic testing and measurement
Methods, apparatus, and systems for performing an ophthalmic diagnostic test are disclosed. In one aspect, a head-wearable device for administering an ophthalmic test to a subject can comprise a head-wearable frame for mounting the device onto the subject's head, and a light seal configured for coupling to the frame so as to isolate at least one eye of the subject from ambient light when the device is worn by the subject.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EYE EVALUATION AND TREATMENT
A system for providing visual stimulation to a test subject having an amblyopic eye and a sound eye includes a screen and a controller. The screen configured to display image data, wherein each image data includes a first image data component viewable from a first angle and a second image data component viewable from a second angle, wherein the first image data component has an image quality that is higher than an image quality of the second image data component. The controller is configured to display the image data on the screen such that, when the test subject holds the screen, the first image data component is only viewable by the amblyopic eye of the test subject while the second image data component is only viewable by the sound eye of the test subject.
Photobleaching method
The present disclosure provides an improved method for photobleaching an eye of a subject. The disclosed method may be used in a number of psychophysical test methods, including, but not limited to, measurement of dark adaptation. The improved method for photobleaching involves at least one of the following improvements: (i) the use of a bleaching light emitting a particular wavelength of light or a tailored spectrum of wavelengths; (ii) restricting or otherwise spatially tailoring the region of the retina that is subject to photobleaching; and (iii) utilizing a bleaching light having an intensity that is at or below the intensity of ambient daylight. The present disclosure additionally provides a combination of a photobleaching light and an apparatus to administer a psychophysical test suitable for use in practicing the disclosed methods.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING A CONTRAST SENSITIVITY THRESHOLD
A method and a device allow to determine the contrast sensitivity threshold of the eyes of a user in an automatic manner without requiring an experienced examiner or active attention of the user. The method includes: a) providing a dataset of track data including data of eye movements, wherein the eye movements are stimulated to elicit an optokinetic nystagmus in the eyes of the user and wherein the track data are related to a particular contrast and spatial frequency of the stimulus; b) estimating at least one velocity component of the eye movement; c) comparing the velocity component with a velocity threshold; d) comparing a fraction of the track data which exceed the velocity threshold with a fractional threshold for the dataset, which is classified as eliciting the optokinetic nystagmus at the particular contrast of the stimulus; and e) determining the contrast sensitivity threshold of the eyes of the user.
VISION TESTING VIA PREDICTION-BASED SETTING OF INITIAL STIMULI CHARACTERISTICS FOR USER INTERFACE LOCATIONS
In some embodiments, initial feedback indicating threshold characteristics (under which a user sees initial stimuli presented on a user interface) may be provided to a prediction model, and a set of predicted characteristics (for a set of locations of the user interface) and a set of confidence scores associated with the set of locations may be obtained via the prediction model. Based on the set of confidence scores, one or more locations may be selected to be tested during a visual test presentation. As an example, the locations may be selected over one or more other locations of the set of locations based on the set of confidence scores. Based on predicted characteristics associated with the selected locations, stimuli may be presented at the selected locations during the visual test presentation. Visual defect information for the user may be generated based on feedback from the visual test presentation.
