The customization techniques include utilizing the bionic lenses to detect eye characteristics that can be used to improve insertion of the bionic lenses, track health over time, and provide user alerts. The user experiences include interactive environments and animation techniques that are improved via the bionic lenses.

Embodiments of this invention generally relate to systems and methods for eye imaging, and more particularly to measuring the size and position of the lens capsule and of the implanted intraocular lens. In one embodiment, a method for measuring the size and position of the lens capsule and of the implanted intraocular lens comprises generating and emitting one or more light beams at an angle adjacent to the eye, generating one or more eye images, and detecting the position and/or boundary of a lens capsule from its shadow casted by reflected light on the iris.

The present invention relates to a method and a device for estimating a full shape of a lens of an eye from measurements of the lens taken in-vivo by optical imaging techniques, the measurements comprising visible portions of the lens, the method comprises defining non-visible portions of the lens parting from the in-vivo measurements and using a geometrical model of a lens previously built from ex-vivo measurements. The full shape parameters of the crystalline lens can be estimated in the present invention from optical imaging techniques to improve the estimation of the IOL position and thus the IOL power selection.

The present invention provides a system and a method for performing a cataract surgery. The system of the present invention includes an optical coherence tomography apparatus, an image capturing device, and a central processing unit. The method includes imaging optical coherence tomography of a patient's eye using the optical coherence tomography apparatus, capturing the patient's optical coherence tomography with the image capturing device, generating a 3D image and coordinates of the patient's eye, and determining a central location of a pupillary margin and an iridocorneal angle using a central processing unit. The center of the anterior capsule of the human crystalline lens is then calculated by matching the iridocorneal angle to the central location of the pupillary margin.

It is provided a method for quick switching to realize anterior and posterior eye segments imaging, which can realize quick switch and real-time image for locations at different depths. On one hand, with an ability of quick switch, objects at different depths can be measured, and the detection scope of the OCT system can be enhanced; the switch system is able to work stably and change positions accurately without influencing the signal-to-noise ratio of the system. On the other hand, the light beam can be respectively focalized at different locations. Thus, high quality of anterior and posterior eye segments imaging can be achieved with a relatively high lateral resolution for human eyes having different ametropia. Furthermore, based on the anterior and posterior eye segments imaging, an ability of real-time eye axial length measurement can be added.

Systems and methods for assisting in the removal of a cataract from an eye can include obtaining pre-operative data for the eye, the pre-operative data including imaging data associated with the lens of the eye, determining a lens density map based on the imaging data associated with the lens, and generating laser fragmentation patterns for a laser fragmentation procedure based on the lens density map.

An ophthalmologic imaging apparatus includes: a first optical system that applies an accommodation stimulus to a subject's eye; a tomographic image forming unit that includes a second optical system that splits light from a light source into signal light and reference light, and detects interference light between the signal light having travelled via the subject's eye and the reference light, and creates a tomographic image of the subject's eye based on a detection result of the interference light; and an analyzer that compares a first tomographic image with a second tomographic image to acquire change information indicating a change in a tissue of the subject's eye due to an accommodation stimulus change. The first and second tomographic images are respectively created by the tomographic image forming unit for the subject's eye, to which first and second accommodation stimuli are respectively applied by the first and second optical systems.

A method for inspecting an ophthalmic lens for the presence of an unacceptable semi-opaque defect in a lens body thereof comprises the steps of: illuminating the lens body with laser light in an area bounded by an edge of the lens body; detecting the intensity of laser light scattered by the illuminated lens body in a predetermined detection direction which is different from a direction of reflection; comparing the detected intensity of the scattered laser light with a predetermined threshold intensity; determining a size of at least one coherent area in which the detected intensity of the scattered laser light is higher than the predetermined threshold intensity; determining whether the size of the at least one coherent area is larger than a predetermined threshold size, and rejecting the ophthalmic lens in case the size of the at least one coherent area is larger than the predetermined threshold size.
