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.

A modular lens adapter system or kit is provided for mobile anterior and posterior segment ophthalmoscopy. Equipped with various lens adapter modules, respective lenses and a mobile imaging device, a user is provided with tools for various mobile ophthalmoscopy imaging applications. Eye care practitioners can use their existing lenses to customize the modular lens adapter system in a cost-effective way, which allows for mobile and remote capture, viewing, and utilization of clinical images. The various modules are also adaptable to nearly any type of phone or tablet regardless of its dimensions or presence of a protective case. The invention also addresses the need for fewer, smaller, less expensive, and easier to use ophthalmic imaging equipment, which is further important in enabling a broad base of users.

A contact lens according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a lens section attachable to an eyeball, and one or a plurality of structure portions provided in the lens section and intended to accumulate tears. This makes it possible to, for example, measure an absorption spectrum of the tears, by emitting light toward the tears accumulated in the one or plurality of structure portions.

A contact lens (318,400,500,600) may include a contact lens body (402), an exterior contact surface (322,404), and an annular bifocal surface (326,408). The contact lens (318,400,500,600) may be configured for use in a contact lens assembly (300) for laser-based ophthalmological surgical treatments. The exterior contact surface (322,404) may be on a first end of the contact lens body (402). The exterior contact surface (322,404) may be configured for direct physical contact with a cornea (102) of an eye (100) of a patient. The annular bifocal surface (326,408) may be on a second end of the contact lens body (402). The second end may be opposite the exterior contact surface (322,404). The annular bifocal surface (326,408) may include a central portion (347,412,502,602). The central portion (347,412,502,602) may include a first focal distance. The annular bifocal surface (326,408) may include an outer portion (349,414,504,604) that surrounds at least a portion of the central portion (347,412,502,602). The annular bifocal surface (326,408) may include a second focal distance.
