System and method for integrated visualization camera and optical coherence tomography
System and method for imaging a target site with a housing assembly having a head unit configured to be at least partially directed towards the target site. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) module and stereoscopic visualization camera are at least partially located in the head unit and configured to obtain a first set and a second of volumetric data of the target site, respectively. A controller is configured to register the first set of volumetric data with the second set of volumetric data to create a third set of registered volumetric data. The third set of registered volumetric data and second set of volumetric data are rendered, via a volumetric render module, to a first and second region. The first region and the second region are overlaid to obtain a composite shared view of the target.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RETINAL IMAGING
Disclosed is a system for retinal imaging. The type of image to be captured is selected by a user. Corresponding fixation stimulus is displayed on a fixation screen of the disclosed device for the subject to fix their gaze on. The device comprises illumination sources and, illumination optics and imaging optics, a 3-D accelerometer, and a camera. Signal from the 3-D accelerometer, and the video of the eye of the subject captured by camera are used by a computing device that uses AI techniques to vary the position of the fixation stimulus to obtain a stabilized image of the eye of the subject. The position of the fixation stimulus is varied to compensate for the movement of the handheld device to obtain a stabilized retinal image. Once stabilized, the image is captured.
METHOD FOR AUTOMATING COLLECTION, ASSOCIATION, AND COORDINATION OF MULTIPLE MEDICAL DATA SOURCES
A method of automating the collection, association, and coordination of multiple medical data sources using a coordinating service application, computer, database, and/or server system to manage devices, examinations, and people involved in the medical examination and treatment process. In an embodiment, the method comprises authenticating a user for a premises, a device, or a device group, validating particular use of the device based on user credentials or type of device or device group, associating a medical examination with a patient or a medical examination schedule, associating medical examination data from a device or device group with a related medical examination session, routing medical examination data to a computer, database, or server, and pairing medical examination session data with a medical interpretation, clinical testing results, diagnoses, and/or other recorded information.
Methods and systems for determining refractive corrections of human eyes for eyeglasses
Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for determining refractive corrections of human eyes to reduce and eliminate image distortion associated with eyeglasses. In some embodiments, an objective refraction module is configured to measure refractive errors of an eye objectively, without subjective feedback from a tested subject. A computation module is configured to generate a plurality of objective prescriptions. A phoropter module is configured to perform a subjective refraction for determining a plurality of subjective spherical powers based on the plurality of objective prescriptions. An output module is configured to generate a plurality of prescriptions for eyeglasses, the plurality of prescriptions comprising (a) a first prescription having a first subjective spherical power f.sub.s1, a first objective cylinder power F.sub.c1, and a first objective cylinder angle F.sub.a1, and (b) a second prescription having a second subjective spherical power f.sub.s2, a second objective cylinder power F.sub.c2, and a second objective cylinder angle F.sub.a2.
Eye Patient Article Station for an Ophthalmic Instrument Stand
An eye patient article station for mounting to an ophthalmic instrument stand is disclosed. The station has a body. The body has a plurality of compartments. An ophthalmic instrument stand is also disclosed having a base, a console, and the eye patient article station.
Device and method for capturing, analyzing, and sending still and video images of the fundus during examination using an ophthalmoscope
The present invention is directed to a medical imaging device attachment with onboard sensor array and computational processing unit, which can be adapted to and reversibly attached to multiple models of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopes (BIOs), enabling simultaneous or time-delayed viewing and collaborative review of photographs or videos from an eye examination. The invention also claims a method for photographing and integrating information associated with the images, videos, or other data generated from the eye examination.
Portable wavefront aberrometer
Systems and methods for measuring an aberration of a patient's eye are disclosed. In one embodiment, a portable wavefront aberrometer comprises a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein an aperture is formed in the housing at the proximal end; an activatable light source; a light detector; and optical components housed within the housing, the optical components comprising a microlens array, a plurality of lenses, one or more reflectors, and one or more beam splitters, wherein the optical components are arranged to define a first light path and a second light path.
Ophthalmic apparatus
An ophthalmic apparatus capable of selectively performing a first imaging mode in which imaging of a subject's eye is performed in a first state where an attachment unit is not attached, and a second imaging mode in which imaging of the subject's eye is performed in a second state where the attachment unit is attached. The ophthalmic apparatus includes: an operation unit; an attachment state determination unit to determine whether or not the attachment unit is attached; a correspondence determination unit to determine whether or not the correspondence between the imaging mode designated by a use of the operation unit and an attachment state of the attachment unit obtained by the attachment state determination unit is appropriate; and a controller to perform control for prohibiting imaging in at least the designated imaging mode when the correspondence determination unit has determined that the correspondence is not appropriate.
Integrated ophthalmic surgical system
An ophthalmic surgical system includes a chassis comprising a laser source. The system includes a gantry coupled to the chassis. The position of the gantry is adjustable. The system includes a reference interface coupled to the gantry. The reference interface comprises an attachment interface at a distal portion of the reference interface, configured to couple to a patient interface for docking with an eye. The reference interface is configured to move to a first plate position proximal to the chassis and a second plate position distal from the chassis. The system further includes an optical head unit coupled to the reference interface. The optical head unit comprises a laser scanner and a beam splitter. The optical head unit is configured to move to a first head unit position near a proximal end of the reference interface and a second head unit position which is a lockable surgical position near a distal end of the reference interface.
Optical coherence tomography system
An OCT system comprises an OCT scan module for retinal scanning and an add-on anterior segment scanning module which includes at least one anterior segment scan lens (11) and an add-on fixation target (15) which is used to maintain the viewing direction of the eye (6) under investigation while achieving anterior segment scanning. Because the anterior segment scan module added to the exterior of an existing OCT system for retinal scanning has an add-on fixation target (15), it is possible to maintain the viewing direction of the eye (6) under investigation while carrying out anterior segment scanning without adjusting the internal beam path of the OCT system, and the OCT system of the present invention can be adapted to patients with only one functioning eye.
