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.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems of evaluating test-retest precision using fractional rank precision or mean-average precision, comprising: a) collecting a test and a retest result of each subject, wherein the results are described in feature space(s) and collected from a vision test machine; b) selecting, a first test result of a first subject; c) calculating distances from the first test result to the retest result of each subject; d) assessing, a similarity between the first test result and the retest result of each subject by ranking the distances in a non-descending order; e) assessing a rank precision for the first subject based on a rank of a distance from the first test result to the retest result of the first subject; f) repeating b), c), d), and e) for each subject; and evaluating, the test-retest precision based on the rank precision for each of the plurality of subjects.

A probability distribution of visual sensitivities at each visual target presentation position of the subject is inferred on the basis of the test result information which is visual sensitivity information at each of the visual target presentation positions obtained through the tests performed in the past. Input of visual sensitivity information of the subject at at least one presentation position among the plurality of visual target presentation positions is received. Mutual information between visual sensitivity information of the subject regarding the visual test target represented by the received information and visual sensitivity information regarding each visual test target for which no visual sensitivity information of subject has been input, using the inferred probability distribution, is calculated, and the calculated mutual information is provided for a predetermined process for selecting a position at which the next visual test target is to be presented.

A dark adapted perimetry method includes the steps of at least partially photobleaching an eye, selectively illuminating a plurality of stimulus target light sources at a predetermined luminance, and recording a response data including triggering an input device in response to the selective illumination. The plurality of stimulus target light sources define a stimulus target array positioned within a concave array guide. Each stimulus target light source is illuminated by a respective LED complex light source.

A new ocular contact lens has been designed to increase the amount of light reaching the retina. The contact lens edge is chamfered to redirect and increase the light reaching the retina. A light source encircles and contacts the straight or curved chamfered edge. Additionally, a reflective cylinder and its top wall encircle the lens to block any loss of light. This distal edge of the contact lens may be rounded to increase the angle of retina visible. A new ocular imaging camera has a low-light camera subassembly with server, a photosensor next to low-light camera, a short cylindrical housing, a space between the camera subassembly and the housing, an internal program in server to detect good or poor image quality and an alarm for poor image quality, wherein an operator recaptures the image. A system has a highly efficient method to screen and diagnose a large number of patients using the new ocular contact lens and ocular imaging camera. The system receives and processes the photographs. The photographs are transmitted to eye care specialists' smart phone, tablet or virtual reality device for evaluation. As specified, the eye care specialist separates normal from abnormal, diagnoses the abnormality, and may even provide detailed information, such as the grade of the abnormality. The server receives this information and automatically generates the suitable report for the healthcare professional. The server also processes payment to the eye care specialist.

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.

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.
