A laser surgery system includes a light source, an eye interface device, a scanning assembly, a confocal detection assembly and preferably a confocal bypass assembly. The light source generates an electromagnetic beam. The scanning assembly scans a focal point of the electromagnetic beam to different locations within the eye. An optical path propagates the electromagnetic beam from a light source to the focal point, and also propagates a portion of the electromagnetic beam reflected from the focal point location back along at least a portion of the optical path. The optical path includes an optical element associated with a confocal detection assembly that diverts a portion of the reflected electromagnetic radiation to a sensor. The sensor generates an intensity signal indicative of intensity the electromagnetic beam reflected from the focal point location. The confocal bypass assembly reversibly diverts the electromagnetic beam along a diversion optical path around the optical element.

An OCT apparatus includes an OCT optical system that splits light from an OCT light source into a measurement optical path and a reference optical path and detects a spectral interference signal between measurement light and reference light, an image processor that processes the spectral interference signal to acquire OCT data of an examinee's eye, an optical scanner that deflects the measurement light and performs scanning on tissue of the examinee's eye, and a light guiding optical system that includes an objective optical system curving a concentrating plane such that the concentrating plane has a convex shape toward a side of a fundus, and forms the concentrating plane of the measurement light in an anterior chamber.

Parameters of an eye are measured by capturing images of the eye when at least one light source is shone into the eye and analyzing the captured images. An ocular biometry system includes a light source configured to generate a light beam, cameras configured to capture images of the eye when the light beam passes through the eye, and processors configured to identify features in the captured images. The features represent the light beam passing from one part of the eye to another part of the eye. One or more parameters of the eye are determined from the identified features. The light beam can be adjusted to be incident on the eye in a number of positions and multiple light beams can be used.

The present disclosure relates to calibration, customization, and improved user experiences for smart or bionic lenses that are worn by a user. The calibration techniques include detecting and correcting distortion of a display of the bionic lenses, as well as distortion due to characteristics of the lens or eyes of the user. 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.

An ophthalmic apparatus includes a first optical system for acquiring information regarding an eye refractive power of a subject eye based on reflection light of measurement light reflected from a fundus of the subject eye, a second optical system for acquiring anterior segment information regarding a shape of an anterior segment of the subject eye, and a calculation controller that acquires an axial length of the subject eye based on an on-surface eye refractive power, which is the eye refractive power on a cross section on which an optical axis of the first optical system is arranged and the anterior segment information regarding the cross section.

A system includes a controller with at least one processor and at least one non-transitory, tangible memory on which instructions are recorded for executing a method for obtaining a profile of a lens capsule of an eye. The profile is represented by respective central surfaces and respective equatorial surfaces separated at respective transition points. The controller is configured to obtain imaging data for a portion of the lens capsule visible through a pupil of the eye. The imaging data is transformed to an adjusted frame of reference and fitted to the respective central surfaces in a predefined central region of the lens capsule. The profile is obtained based on a set of fitting parameters for the respective central and equatorial surfaces. The respective central surfaces and respective equatorial surfaces may be represented as elliptical cones and skewed parabolas, respectively.

Provided are a method, a device, or a storage medium having a program stored therein for easily determining a crystalline lens nucleus state.

A gray scale anterior segment image taken by optical coherence tomography is obtained, and posterization of the anterior segment image is performed to obtain tone-changed images having 3 tones, 4 tones, and 5 tones. One, of a plurality of predetermined grades, corresponding to the crystalline lens nucleus state is determined based on a combination of states of observed images of the crystalline lens nucleus in the tone-changed images. The grades are set for classification according to whether or not an image of a crystalline lens nucleus is observed, whether the observed image is spot-shaped or band-shaped, or whether or not the entire image of the crystalline lens nucleus is observed.

There is provided a system, apparatus and methods for enhancing the illumination of structures of the eye using predetermined scan patterns of an illuminating light beam. The systems, apparatus and methods further provide for obtaining enhanced single images of multiple structures of the eye.

An ophthalmic lens that includes a lens material having two opposing curved surfaces, the curved surfaces defining a lens axis; and a light scattering region surrounding a clear aperture. The clear aperture and the light scattering region are substantially centered on the lens axis, and the light scattering region has a plurality of spaced apart scattering centers (e.g., on a lens surface and/or embedded in the lens material) sized and shaped to scatter incident light, the scattering centers being arranged in a pattern that includes a random variation in spacing between adjacent dots and/or a random variation in dot size.

An ophthalmic device that comprises a first objective lens system, an optical system, an anterior eye segment photographing system, and a first optical-path combining member. The first objective lens system includes two or more lenses. The optical system includes a projection system configured to project light onto a target eye via the first objective lens system. The anterior eye segment photographing system is used for photographing an anterior eye segment of the target eye. The first optical-path combining member is located between the two or more lenses to combine an optical path of the optical system and an optical path of the anterior eye segment photographing system.
