PERFORMING A PROCEDURE BASED ON MONITORED PROPERTIES OF BIOLOGICAL TISSUES
Performing a procedure based on monitored properties of at least one ocular component of an eye includes: performing a procedure on at least one section of a first ocular component of the eye; providing at least one first electro-magnetic radiation to the at least one section so as to interact with at least one acoustic wave in the first ocular component, wherein at least one second electro-magnetic radiation is produced based on the interaction; receiving multiple portions of the at least one second electro-magnetic radiation, each portion having been emitted from a different corresponding segment of the at least one section; monitoring a visco-elastic modulus of the at least one section based on the multiple portions during the procedure; and applying feedback to the procedure based at least in part on the monitored visco-elastic modulus.
STROKE DETECTION USING OCULAR PULSE ESTIMATION
A system and method for detecting a stroke includes a non-contact ocular pulse measurement device configured to output a first and a second ocular pulse measurement signals for each of a patient's eyes, respectively. A computing system has a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions that when executed cause the processor to analyze the first and second ocular pulse measurements. An index of difference between the first and second ocular pulse measurements is determined, and a user interface is generated that includes a stroke advisory to the patient based on the index of difference.
Methods and systems for diagnosing and treating presbyopia
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.

NON CONTACT EYEBALL VIBRATION TYPE TONOMETER
The problem addressed by the present invention is to provide a tonometer that is capable of measuring the intraocular pressure of a subject eye without the subject or persons around him experiencing noise, and without blowing air against the subject eye. With the present invention, a non contact eyeball vibration type tonometer is provided that includes: a parametric speaker that directs sound waves against the front surface of a subject eye; a detection device that detects data related to vibration of the subject eye caused by these sound waves from the parametric speaker; and a processing device that calculates the intraocular pressure of the subject eye from this vibration data for the subject eye.
OPHTHALMIC DEVICE
An ophthalmic device is provided with an illumination optical system configured to irradiate light irradiated from a light source as parallel light to a subject's eye at an oblique angle, the light source is configured to emit coherent light; an image capturing optical system including a light receiving element and configured to capture a reflected image by receiving first reflected light and second reflected light by the light receiving element, the first reflected light being reflected from an anterior surface of a cornea of the subject's eye, the second reflected light being different from the first reflected light and reflected from a posterior surface of the cornea of the subject's eye; and a controller configured to calculate a thickness of the cornea by using the reflected image captured by the image capturing optical system.
ULTRASONIC TONOMETER AND ULTRASONIC ACTUATOR
An ultrasonic tonometer, which measures an intraocular pressure of a subject eye using an ultrasonic wave, has an ultrasonic actuator including an ultrasonic element that generates an ultrasonic wave and a sonotrode that propagates the ultrasonic wave generated from the ultrasonic element, and irradiating the subject eye with the ultrasonic wave. The sonotrode includes an uneven portion in which a thickness of the sonotrode varies in a sound axis direction of the ultrasonic wave.
System, device, and method for determination of intraocular pressure
A system for determination of intraocular pressure includes: an intraocular pressure sensor; a light source illuminating the sensor with one or more wavelengths of light; and a detector that measures emitted light from the sensor. The sensor includes a substrate member, a spacer member, and a flexible membrane, which define a sealed cavity. The flexible membrane moves in response to intraocular pressure changes. A device for measuring intraocular pressure includes: the sensor; an anchoring member attached to the sensor for immobilizing the sensor in an eye; and a protective member attached to the anchoring member and covering the sensor to prevent contact between the flexible membrane and the eye. A method for determination of intraocular pressure includes: placing the sensor in an eye; illuminating, with a light source, the sensor with one or more wavelengths of light; and detecting, with a detector, a resultant light that contains information about intraocular pressure.
Slit lamp microscope
In a slit lamp microscope, ease of maintenance of an illumination-power-supply cable is improved while preventing the cable from appearing untidy. An illumination support arm of a slit lamp microscope is provided with a groove-shaped cable holder in which the illumination-power-supply cable is disposed along the outer surface of the illumination support arm in an externally exposed state. This configuration facilitates replacement of the illumination-power-supply cable even when a problem, such as breaking of the illumination-power-supply cable, occurs, thus improving ease of maintenance. Furthermore, because the illumination-power-supply cable is disposed along the groove-shaped cable holder, the slit lamp microscope has a neat appearance.
DEVICE FOR AN OCULAR TONOMETER, AND ARRANGEMENT, METHOD AND USES THEREOF
A device (102) for an ocular tonometer comprising a dispenser (106) for dispensing and ejecting at least one liquid droplet (302) to the cornea (304) of an eye from a distance to the eye, wherein the dispenser (106) is arranged to eject the at least one droplet (302) such that the droplet (302) causes applanation to the cornea (304). Corresponding eye pressure measuring device, arrangement and method are also disclosed.
