Disclosed embodiments may include a device, system and method for providing a low cost device that can measure refractive errors very accurately via attachment to a smart phone. A disclosed device may use ambient light or a light source in simulating the cross cylinder procedure that optometrists use by utilizing the inverse Shack-Hartman technique. Using an optical device, in conjunction with a smart phone, the user first changes the angle of the axis until he/she sees a cross pattern (the vertical and horizontal lines are equally spaced). The user adjusts the display, using motorized controls on the on the optical device, to make the lines come together and overlap, which corresponds to bringing the view into sharp focus, thus determining the appropriate optical prescription for the user.

An ophthalmic device includes a first light source configured to output first light, a second light source configured to output second light, a first interferometer configured to acquire a first tomographic image of a first range based on first interference light, a second interferometer configured to acquire a second tomographic image of a second range based on second interference light, and a controller. The controller may be configured to perform a specific scan on a subject eye that scans the first light and the second light simultaneously in a same plane, wherein the first tomographic image and the second tomographic image are obtained by performing the specific scan, calculate an amount of distortion of the first tomographic image, correct the first tomographic image based on the amount of distortion, and correct the second tomographic image based on the amount of distortion.

A processor of an ophthalmologic image processing device acquires an ophthalmologic image photographed by an ophthalmologic image photographing device. The processor inputs the ophthalmologic image into a mathematical model trained by a machine learning algorithm to acquire a result of an analysis relating to at least one of a specific disease and a specific structure of a subject eye. The processor acquires information of a distribution of weight relating to an analysis by a mathematical model, as supplemental distribution information, for which an image area of the ophthalmologic image input into the mathematical model is set as a variable. The processor sets a part of the image area of the ophthalmologic image, as an attention area, based on the supplemental distribution information. The processor acquires an image of a tissue including the attention area among a tissue of the subject eye and displays the image on a display unit.

A device for illuminating a posterior segment of an eye may include multiple channels. Each of the channels may include multiple illumination paths such as a first region illumination path, and a second region illumination path. The first region illumination path and the second region illumination path may be illuminated at different times such that a first region and a second region may be imaged without interference from a non-illuminated illumination path.

An apparatus for diagnosis of ocular surface disease includes an electronic tablet with an electronic display and a forward-facing camera. The camera may be placed above the screen when the device is held in landscape mode. A software app executing on the electronic tablet displays a test screen to a patient, the test screen comprising a test image and an alignment indicator. Once alignment is achieved, the patient may read the test image for a period of time, during which blink quality and quantity are tabulated. A video recorded during the test may be reviewed by a physician to confirm or modify blink quality and quantity counts during the test to diagnose ocular surface disease.

A method to self-test vision of a user for use with a handheld vision tester includes receiving image data of the user's face, determining dimensions of the user's face based on the received image data, computing a user viewing distance based on the determined dimensions, displaying a vision test based on the computed user viewing distance, receiving user input responses to the vision test, and outputting results of the vision test from the user input responses.

Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring subjective ocular refraction including a display device configured to display a least one optotype and a refractive optical system arranged between an eye of a viewer and the display device, the refractive optical system having an optical power that can be varied according to a determined minimum step. The display device further includes a unit for varying optical power designed to generate a variation in the spherical and/or cylindrical optical power, such that the display device and the refractive optical system form a first image of the optotype with a first total optical power and, respectively, a second image of the optotype with a second total optical power, the variation in optical power between the first total optical power and the second total optical power being less than the determined minimum step.

Provided is an ophthalmic apparatus for examining an examinee's eye, including: an examination device configured to examine the examinee's eye; an approacher in the examination device, configured to approach the examinee; a detector configured to detect approach of the approacher to the examinee; and a controller configured to switch an operation mode between a first mode where an avoidance operation for avoiding the approach is performed and a second mode where the avoidance operation is not performed, upon the detector detecting the approach.

In certain embodiments, an ophthalmic laser surgical system for imaging and treating a target in an eye includes an optical coherence tomography (OCT) device that: directs an imaging beam towards the eye; generates three-dimensional (3D) image data from the imaging beam reflected from the eye; and generates two-dimensional (2D) enface images from the 3D image data. The 2D enface images include a target enface image imaging the target in the eye and a retinal enface image imaging a shadow cast by the target onto the retina. An xy-scanner directs the imaging beam along an imaging beam path towards the eye, and directs a laser beam from the laser device along a laser beam path aligned with the imaging beam path towards the eye. A computer compares the target of the target enface image and the shadow of the retinal enface image to confirm the presence of the target.

Performance of enhanced visually directed procedures under low ambient lighting conditions. A computer readable medium storing a set of computer instructions for performing an enhanced visually directed procedure under low ambient visible light on a patient's eye. The computer instructions include: acquiring at least one real-time high resolution video signal representing at least one view of the eye in at least one wavelength of light outside of the wavelengths of visible light. The computer instructions include converting the at least one view is converted corresponding to the at least one real-time high resolution video signal at the at least one wavelength of light outside of the wavelengths of visible light into at least one wavelength of visible light. The at least one high resolution photosensor is acquired after light conditions are low enough such that a pupil of the eye does not constrict substantially from its maximum pupillary diameter.
