An eye surgery system 1 comprises microscopy optics 3 and an OCT device 5 to generate a light-optical image and an OCT image of an eye fundus 11, a controller 29 and a visualization system 13, 41, 83. The controller comprises a data interface 97 for receiving a preoperative OCT image and may control the visualization system to display a representation of the received preoperative OCT image. The controller may control the OCT device 5 to record an intraoperative OCT image and may control the visualization system to display a representation of the recorded intraoperative OCT image. The controller may adjust a magnification of the representation of the intraoperative OCT image and/or a magnification of the representation of the preoperative OCT image so that the magnifications of the representation of the intraoperative OCT image and the magnification of the representation of the preoperative OCT image are equal.

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.

A wide field fundus camera is disclosed to implement multiple illumination beam projectors and to capture multiple retinal images at a various viewing angles to mimic wide field retinal examination with an indirect ophthalmoscope. The wide field fundus camera may incorporate a consumer image recording device with fast auto focusing so as to make the device quick to respond and easy to use. The wide field fundus camera may include narrow and broad slit beam illuminations to enhance autofocusing and imaging through less transparent crystalline lens and through haze due to Purkinje reflections from crystalline lens surfaces. Control of multiple illumination beam projectors in a programmable manner can be used to assess alignment of each illumination beam projector with the eye and to capture said multiple retinal images. Furthermore, a method is disclosed to montage said multiple retinal images into a single montage and to remove haze and reflections.

An optical device can include: an incident light polarizer positioned to receive incident light and configured to polarize incident light such that polarized incident light is directed to a cornea of a subject; at least one corneal light polarizer, wherein the at least one corneal light polarizer is positioned to receive reflected light from the cornea of the subject and polarize the reflected light to a second polarization; at least one rotating mechanism; and at least one receiver. The receiver can be at least one viewing port optically coupled with the at least one corneal light polarizer or an imaging device (e.g., optical detector). The at least one rotating mechanism is: coupled with the incident light polarizer; coupled with the at least one corneal light polarizer; or coupled with the incident light polarizer and the at least one corneal light polarizer.

An eye-imaging apparatus and system is described including circular fiber array ends arranged at skewed angles relative to the optical axis of the imaging path, a light intensity distribution converter along the illumination path to convert a bell-shaped distribution into a top-hat distribution, an image sensor, and high frequency response light source(s) operating in flash illumination mode in synchronization with the image sensor. As a result, unnecessary exposure of illumination light to a patient eye is minimized while the illumination light can span a wide enough coverage range with desired intensity and spectral distribution to cover the desired angular field of view and spectral range on a retina.

The present invention relates to a smart remotely controlled contact lens for diagnosing and treating diseases by using a micro-LED. The present invention can diagnose and treat diseases by using a micro-LED or -OLED disposed in a contact lens. Further, the present invention can treat various diseases by using signals according to light wavelengths detected through a photodetector to control drug release from a drug delivery system in the contact lens. The drug delivery system that is a small-sized ocular insert can be electrically controlled. Accordingly, drug can be released from the drug delivery system at a desired time, and thus the drug delivery system can be applied to treatment of various diseases. Further, the photodetector can detect the therapeutic effect in real time through light reflected from a treated target cell, and thus the disease progression in a patient can be easily and quickly checked.

A novel surgical lens system including a lens and a reflective element. The lens is placed on, or above, a cornea of an eye of a subject for enabling inspection of the eye. The reflective element is incorporated into the lens. The reflective element reflects a light beam toward the eye of the subject. The reflective element increases the divergence of the light beam, such that the divergence of the reflected light beam is larger than the divergence of the light beam. The light beam is emitted by a non-invasive light source positioned externally to the eye.

A light adjustable lens illumination system comprises an illumination source, for generating a light beam; a light delivery system, for projecting the light beam onto a Light Adjustable Lens (LAL), implanted into an eye, wherein a fraction of the light beam propagates past the LAL to a retina of the eye; and a protective beam-shaper, for shaping the light beam to have an intensity pattern with a relative central intensity reduction that varies along an axis; wherein the relative central intensity reduction at the retina is greater than the relative central intensity reduction at a LAL plane.
