A device for measuring pupillary distance can include a processor for processing an electronic image, such as a selfie. The processor can be configured to determine an iris width of one or both of the eyes. The pupillary distance between the eyes can be determined based, at least in part, on the iris width.

Apparatus and methods for eye tracking using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) device are disclosed. Such eye tracking may be performed by using information about the shape of the cornea and the corneal apex or using the iris/pupil border obtained using the OCT device.

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.

An iris biometric recognition module includes technology for capturing images of an iris of an eye of a person, whether the person is moving or stationary. The iris biometric recognition technology can perform an iris matching procedure for, e.g., authentication or identity purposes, by comparing a digital iris image to a reference iris image and, if the digital and reference iris images match, authenticating a person as authorized to access a first device and transmitting a wireless communication from the first device to a second device.

A method of identifying iris is provided. The method includes providing a plurality of incident lights entering an eye located at a reference position; setting a first, second and third reference points; forming a first, second and third measuring glint by the incident lights after the eye moves to a measuring position; capturing an eye image of the eye including a first, second and third measuring glint images and an iris image; analyzing a gray scale value of the eye image to obtain the positions of the first, second and third measuring glints; and calculating a variation of the distance between the first measuring glint and the second measuring glint, a variation of the distance between the second measuring glint and the third measuring glint to obtain an resolution variation of the iris image when the eye is located at the measuring position.

A method for checking vital parameters. A quantitative determination of distance and/or thickness of components of the eye is performed on the basis of data of a laser feedback interferometry measurement of a human eye. A change of at least one vital parameter is ascertained in the ascertainment of a change over time of a determined distance and/or of a determined thickness of a component of the eye. The components of the eye comprising at least a cornea and/or an iris and/or a pupil and/or a lens and/or a vitreous body and/or a retina. The vital parameter comprising an eye pressure and/or a high blood pressure and/or an arteriosclerosis and/or a metabolism and/or an abnormality of the retina in terms of color or topography and/or a blood clot. A device for checking vital parameters is also described.

A method and device: pass a probe beam to the retina of an eye through a refractive region of a combined diffractive-refractive intraocular lens (IOL) which is implanted into the eye; provide light returned from the retina to a wavefront sensor which includes a detector array and images the returned light onto the detector array to produce a first set of light spots which returned from the retina through the refractive region of the combined diffractive-refractive IOL and a second set of light spots which returned from the retina through a diffractive region of the combined diffractive-refractive IOL; select a first region of the detector array which includes at least some of the first set of light spots and excludes the second set of light spots; and determines a refraction of the eye with the combined diffractive-refractive IOL implanted therein using only data from the first set of light spots.

Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for monitoring use by a user of a portable research device in accordance with at least one predetermined use criterion are disclosed. The disclosed examples include passively gathering data for assessing an identity of a user of the portable research device, processing the passively gathered data to produce assessment data indicating a possibility that the user is not a predetermined correct user of the portable research device, based on the assessment data, displaying a message to the user requesting a response from which the user's identity may be determined, and processing a response to the message to produce data indicating whether the user is the predetermined correct user.
