PHOTOBLEACHING METHOD
20220061657 · 2022-03-03 ·

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.

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.

PLANAR WAVEGUIDE APPARATUS WITH DIFFRACTION ELEMENT(S) AND SYSTEM EMPLOYING SAME

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.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIRECT AND CONSENSUAL PUPILLARY LIGHT REFLEX STIMULATION
20210330187 · 2021-10-28 ·

The various embodiments herein provide a system and method for direct and consensual pupillary light reflex stimulation without cross-contamination of contralateral eye. The embodiments also provides a portable and easy-to-use system and method for eye stimulation of pupillary response assessment for medical evaluation. The system is a portable and head-mounted goggles system is provided for eye stimulation of pupillary response assessment. The head-mounted goggles system comprises a visor, a pair of LEDs, a pair of well-arrangement and two cameras. The well-arrangements are designed in such a way that the LEDs provide a narrow light cone only to the eye under observation and prevents the contralateral eye from being stimulated. The cameras are independent of each other and are configured to capture images and transmit the images to a remote computing device through wired and/or wireless means.
