Methods and systems for alignment of ophthalmic imaging devices

Ophthalmic imaging systems and related methods provide pseudo feedback to aid a user in aligning the user's eye with an optical axis of the imaging system. An ophthalmic imaging system includes an ophthalmic imaging device having an optical axis, a display device, an eye camera, and a control unit. The display device displays a fixation target viewable by the user. The eye camera images the eye to generate eye image data. The control unit processes the eye image data to determine a position of the eye relative to the optical axis, processes the position of the eye relative to the optical axis to generate a pseudo position of the eye relative to the optical axis, and causes the display device to display an indication that provides feedback to the user that the eye is located at the pseudo position of the eye relative to the optical axis.

Device for measuring the speed of blood in a blood vessel of the eye

The invention relates to a device for measuring the speed of blood in a blood vessel of the eye. Said device includes: a light source (5), two detectors provided with input diaphragms (36, 46) for receiving two light beams backscattered by a blood vessel, an optical system including a Dove prism (70) through which the source beam and backscattered beams pass and which is rotatably adjustable about an axis parallel to the source beam passing therethrough, and a focusing system (62) capable of forming the image of a blood vessel on the input diaphragms, a processor capable of processing the signals from the detectors, and an opitcal element (52) that can be inserted during the device adjustment phase so as to convert the light spot, provided by the light source, into a line coplanar with the source beam and the backscattered beams.

Personalized patient interface for ophthalmic devices

A medical ophthalmic system uses a patient-specific face mask to establish a predefined alignment between the ophthalmic system and an eye of a patient. The patient-specific face mask may optionally provide a light proof enclosure for the eye. The face mask may be coupled directly to an ophthalmic device, or its housing/enclosure, of the ophthalmic system. The face mask may be 3D printed based on a 3D model of the patient's face.
