Tracking system for surgical optical coherence tomography
09579017 · 2017-02-28 · ·

An OCT tracking system includes an imaging unit operable to generate a fundus image of a patient's eye and a tracking system operable to process the fundus image to determine a location of a surgical instrument inserted into the patient's eye. The OCT tracking system further includes an OCT system including an OCT light source operable to generate an OCT imaging beam and a beam scanner. Based at least in part on the determined location of the surgical instrument, the beam scanner directs the OCT imaging beam to a particular region within the patient's eye, the particular region within the patient's eye including the determined location of the surgical instrument inserted into the patient's eye.

SURGICAL MICROSCOPE WITH INTEGRATED OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AND DISPLAY SYSTEMS
20170049322 · 2017-02-23 ·

An ophthalmic surgical microscope includes a beam coupler positioned along an optical path of the surgical microscope between a first eyepiece and magnifying/focusing optics, the beam coupler operable to direct the OCT imaging beam along a first portion of the optical path of the surgical microscope between the beam coupler and a patient's eye (an OCT image being generated based on a reflected portion of the OCT imaging beam). The surgical microscope additionally includes a real-time data projection unit operable to project the OCT image generated by the OCT system and a beam splitter positioned along the optical path of the surgical microscope between a second eyepiece and the magnifying/focusing optics. The beam splitter is operable to direct the projected OCT image along a second portion of the optical path of the surgical microscope between the beam splitter and the second eyepiece such that the projected OCT image is viewable through the second eyepiece.

A retinoscope comprises a refracting unit that has a lens module therein and is located at a predetermined distance from eyes of a person to be tested such that a line of sight of the person to be tested passes through an optometry window; a main body for supporting the refracting unit; a retinoscope unit coupled to one surface of the main body and maintained at a predetermined distance from the refracting unit; and the operating unit that operates driving of the refracting unit and the retinoscope unit.

Binocular retinal imaging device, system, and method for tracking fixational eye motion

A binocular scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) is used to track the fixational eye movement of each of the eyes of a subject. The binocular SLO may include right eye optics for imaging a portion of the retina of the right eye and left eye optics for imaging a portion of the retina of the left eye. Shifts in the imaged portion of the retina with respect to a reference image of the retina may be used to measure and track eye movement. The right eye optics and left eye optics may be separate imaging paths, each with its own bi-directional MEMS scanning mirror and Keplerian telescope. The use of the MEMS scanning mirrors minimizes the size and weight of the binocular SLO.

Miniaturized mobile, low cost optical coherence tomography system for home based ophthalmic applications

Improved optical coherence tomography systems and methods to measure thickness of the retina are presented. The systems may be compact, handheld, provide in-home monitoring, allow the patient to measure himself or herself, and be robust enough to be dropped while still measuring the retina reliably.

System and method for determining prescription of corrective lenses using predictive calculations and corrected-eyesight simulation
12318140 · 2025-06-03 · ·

This is a system and method for determining a patient's prescription for corrective lenses using predictive calculations and corrected-eyesight simulation. Together, these technologies act as a digital substitute for phoropter testing, thus reducing the cost, time, and human error associated with an eye exam. Based on age, gender, autorefractor readings, and environmental factors, a patient specific model is calculated and fed into a visual simulation tool. From this simulation, an eye care professional is able to determine the patient's corrective lens prescription.

Surgical applications with integrated visualization camera and optical coherence tomography

A system for guiding an ophthalmic procedure is disclosed. The system includes a housing assembly with a head unit configured to be at least partially directed towards a target site in an eye. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) module and stereoscopic visualization camera are at least partially located in the head unit and configured to obtain a first set and a second set of volumetric data, respectively. A controller is configured to register the first set and second set of volumetric data to create a third set of registered volumetric data. The third set and second set of registered volumetric data are rendered, via a volumetric render module, to a first and second region. The first region and the second region are overlaid to obtain a shared composite view of the target site. The controller is configured to extract structural features and/or enable visualization of the target site.

BINOCULAR ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH A MICROSCOPE

A binocular assembly includes a first optical pathway extending from a flat plate mirror to a first eyepiece assembly. The first optical pathway includes a first penta-right angle prism, a first optical focusing assembly located along a first focusing axis for focusing the first optical pathway from the first penta-right angle prism, and a first pair of right-angle prisms located along a first prism axis. The binocular assembly also includes a second optical pathway extending from the flat plate mirror to a second eyepiece assembly. The second optical pathway includes a second penta-right angle prism, a second optical focusing assembly located along a second focusing axis for focusing the second optical pathway from the second penta-right angle prism, and a second pair of right-angle prisms located along a second prism axis.
