PLANAR WAVEGUIDE APPARATUS WITH DIFFRACTION ELEMENT(S) AND SYSTEM EMPLOYING SAME
A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.

Ocular device and method for glaucoma treatment
An ocular device for treating glaucoma in an eye are described herein. The ocular device includes a first end, a second end, and a body. The first end is configured to seat in an anterior chamber of an eye. The first end includes an inlet configured to facilitate an ingress of aqueous humor into the ocular device. The second end is configured to seat in a tear film of the eye. The second end includes an outlet configured to facilitate release a flow of the aqueous humor into the tear film. The body is defined by a fluid conduit. The body includes a lumen having a lumen length and a lumen cross sectional area. The lumen length and the lumen cross sectional area are configured to control an intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye by controlling the flow of the aqueous humor through the lumen.
