Portable corneal topographer
09833140 · 2017-12-05 · ·

Portable corneal topographers and portable corneal topographer modules are disclosed. In one embodiment, a corneal topographer module comprises a housing having a first aperture and a second aperture formed therethrough; and a plurality of optical components disposed within the housing. The plurality of optical components are arranged to direct light generated by a light source through the first aperture to the cornea via a first optical channel when a cornea of a patient's eye is located adjacent to the first aperture; and direct reflected light from the cornea into the housing through the first aperture and to a light detector of a mobile device via a second optical channel when the corneal topographer module is mechanically coupled to the mobile device.

Method and Apparatus for Determination of Pupil Function for a Double Pass Optical System Whereby the Image Surface is Diffusive
20230181031 · 2023-06-15 ·

An apparatus for determining the refractive characteristics of an imaging system having an inaccessible and diffusive image surface, such as the human eye. Refractive characteristics of the entire wavefront are ascertained by measuring the refractive power of a representative sample of segments of the pupil. By illuminating only a selected segment, the characteristics of each individual segment may be accurately measured using illumination reflected by the diffusive image surface of the subject optical system, and transmitted only through the transmitting segment. Combination of the refractive characteristics of measured segments constitutes the pupil function of the measured optical system, and can be used for a precise determination of corrective lenses. Characteristics of the system measured, including spectral sensitivity and focusing, are also determined.

Alignment improvements for ophthalmic diagnostic systems

The present application describes the addition of various feedback mechanisms including visual and audio feedback mechanisms to an ophthalmic diagnostic device to assist a subject to elf align to the device. The device may use the visual and non-visual feedback mechanisms independently or in combination with one another. The device may provide a means for a subject to provide feedback to the device to confirm that an alignment condition has been met. Alternatively, the device may have a means for sensing when Acceptable alignment has been achieved. The device may capture diagnostic information during the alignment process or may capture after the alignment condition has been met.
