Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses and methods for prediction, diagnosis, planning and monitoring for myopia and myopic progression. In some embodiments, one or more refractive properties of the eye is determined for each of a plurality of retinal locations of the eye. The plurality of locations may comprise a central region, such as a fovea of the eye, or non-foveal region such as a peripheral region or a region of the macula outside the fovea. Measuring the refractive properties of the eye for the plurality of locations may be helpful in diagnosing myopia and other ocular conditions by providing the refractive properties of the eye for locations away from the fovea, such as the peripheral retina.

A wearable ophthalmic device is disclosed. The device may include a head-mounted light field display configured to generate a physical light field comprising a beam of light. The head-mounted light field display may direct the beam of light into a user's eye, thereby producing a retinal reflex. The device may also include a head-mounted photodetector array configured to receive the retinal reflex and to generate numerical image data. The device may also include a light field processor configured to control the light field display, to analyze the retinal reflex using the numerical image data, and to determine an optical prescription for the user's eye based on the analysis of the retinal reflex.

An ophthalmic device may include: a measurement optical system which includes a light-emitting optical system including a light source and a light-receiving optical system including a light receiving element; an arithmetic device configured to calculate an eye refractive power of the subject eye; a beam deflecting member arranged in an optical path of the measurement optical system and configured to deflect beam emitted from the light source, and a driving device configured to drive the beam deflecting member so that the beam emitted from the light source is scanned in a ring shape onto the subject eye. The beam deflecting member may be disposed so that traveling directions of the beam emitted from the light source intersect with each other between the subject eye and the beam deflecting member when the beam deflecting member is driven by the driving device.

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.

A lens for an eye having an optical axis and an aberration profile along its optical axis, the aberration profile having a focal distance and including higher order aberrations having at least one of a primary spherical aberration component and a secondary spherical aberration component. The aberration profile may provide, for a model eye with no aberrations and an on-axis length equal to the focal distance: a peak, first retinal image quality (RIQ) within a through focus range that remains at or above a second RIQ over the through focus range that includes said focal distance, where the first RIQ is at least 0.35, the second RIQ is at least 0.1 and the through focus range is at least 1.8 Diopters.

This invention comprises a combined optical wavefront aberrometer and topographer system that is used in conjunction with a contact lens that has a plurality of fiducial marks disposed on the lens. The fiducial marks are located radially inside of the undilated pupil's diameter. The optical imaging capacity of the aberrometer is used to measure and monitor any misalignments of the contact lens's position (XY decentration) and/or rotation. Image analysis algorithms are used to track the positions of the fiducial marks, and, hence, the amount of geometric misalignment of the contact lens can be calculated. The fiducial marks can comprise micro ink spots, or depressions in the surface of the contact lens (e.g., divots, dimples, pits), or other small surface features, including raised bumps, which can help to stabilize motions of the contact lens on the eye.

A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.

The present disclosure is directed to lenses, devices, methods and/or systems for addressing refractive error. Certain embodiments are directed to changing or controlling the wavefront of the light entering a human eye. The lenses, devices, methods and/or systems can be used for correcting, addressing, mitigating or treating refractive errors and provide excellent vision at distances encompassing far to near without significant ghosting. The refractive error may for example arise from myopia, hyperopia, or presbyopia with or without astigmatism. Certain disclosed embodiments of lenses, devices and/or methods include embodiments that address foveal and/or peripheral vision. Exemplary of lenses in the fields of certain embodiments include contact lenses, corneal onlays, corneal inlays, and lenses for intraocular devices both anterior and posterior chamber, accommodating intraocular lenses, electro-active spectacle lenses and/or refractive surgery.
