DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSIS, AND FOR PLANNING AND/OR MONITORING AN OPERATION ON THE EYE

A light source that projects a fixation mark into the eve and an image sensor that receives light that has been reflected, diffracted or scattered from the cornea, lens and retina of the eve. A digital camera that captures HDR images of the eve predominantly only with activated fixing illumination. A control unit is designed to detect reflections, as well as diffracted and scattered light of the fixing mark of eve structures in the images transferred from the image sensor and to optimize, evaluate and display the captured HDR images of the eye on a display unit. The invention is provided for different ophthalmological devices, but, in principle, it can be applied to other technical fields in which additional information of the object to be imaged is generated and correspondingly evaluated via the capturing of HDR images.

EYE TREATMENT SYSTEM
20180353769 · 2018-12-13 ·

A system (1) for treating and monitoring the condition of an eye (6) includes a light source, preferably a non-lasing LED (2), for irradiating the eye at a wavelength sufficient to reverse eye damage. The system also includes an excitation light source, preferably a non-lasing LED (4), for exciting fluorescence in the eye and a detector (22) for detecting fluorescence stimulated by the excitation LED (4). The system may also include a second non-lasing light source, preferably a non-lasing LED, for irradiating the eye; and a detector for detecting scatter of light from the eye. Methods for monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions such as cataracts are also provided.

Method for realizing ocular fundus photographs that are corrected for scattered light
10130248 · 2018-11-20 · ·

A method by which fundus photographs that are corrected for scattered light can be realised by using a digital fundus camera. The fundus is illuminated and a photograph of the fundus is realized. The photographed area is greater than the illuminated are. The scattered light intensity is determined and is used for correction. Measurement points for determining the scattered light intensity are defined in the non-illuminated area. Values of the scattered light intensity determined at the measurement points are averaged. Average-scattered light intensity thus determined is subtracted from the intensity values of the photograph to correct the photograph.

METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING THE CATARACT OF AN EYE

A method for classifying a cataract of an eye to determine parameters for pre-setting phaco-treatment instruments. OCT-based measurements are realized. The OCT-based scans are analysed using imaging technology and the local distribution of the cataract is determined. The cataract is classified on the basis of comparison values and the local distribution and classification of the cataract are used to identify parameters for pre-setting phaco-treatment instruments. Even though the proposed method for classifying the cataract of an eye is provided for determining parameters for pre-setting phaco-treatment instruments, it should equally also be used for determining parameters for pre-setting treatment instruments based on fs-lasers.
