SHAPE CHANGING OPTICAL DEVICE FOR OPHTHALMIC TESTING DEVICES
The present invention relates to An optical device (1), particularly for an ophthalmic device, comprising: a container (2) enclosing an internal space (3) of the container (2), wherein the internal space (3) is filled with a transparent liquid (L), and wherein the container (2) comprises a transparent bottom (21) and a transparent and elastically deformable membrane (22) opposing said bottom (21) such that the liquid (L) is arranged between the membrane (22) and the bottom (21), a deformable annular lens shaping element (4) connected to the membrane (22) so that a circumferential edge (41) of the lens shaping element (4) defines a central area (23) of the membrane (22) so that light can pass through the container (2) via the central area (23) and the bottom (21), wherein in a non-deformed state said edge (41) lies in a plane, and an adjustable spherical power and an adjustable cylindrical power, wherein for adapting the cylindrical power of the optical device (1), the lens shaping element (4) is configured to be bent out of said plane (P).
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 measuring and correcting astigmatism using laser generated corneal incisions
A laser system that includes a laser source emitting a laser beam along an axis and a keratometer. The keratometer includes a first set of individual light sources that are equally spaced from one another along a first ring and that direct a first light toward an eye and a second set of individual light sources that are equally spaced from another along a second ring and direct a second light toward the eye, wherein the first ring and said second ring are co-planar and concentric with one another about the axis. The laser system includes a telecentric lens that receives the first light and second light reflected off of the eye and a detector that receives light from the telecentric lens and forms an image. The laser system also includes a processor that receives signals from said detector representative of the image and determines an astigmatism axis of the eye based on the signals.
