An ophthalmic apparatus includes an objective lens, an illumination optical system, an imaging optical system, and an optical path coupling member. The illumination optical system may illuminate a subject's eye with illumination light via the objective lens. The imaging optical system may guide returning light of the illumination light from the subject's eye to an imaging device via the objective lens. The optical path coupling member has a transparent member with a reflective region formed by evaporating a reflective film onto a part of a transmission region of its surface, and is configured to couple an optical path of the illumination optical system with an optical path of the imaging optical system. The transmission region may be arranged substantially conjugate optically to a subject's iris. The illumination light is reflected on the reflective region and the returning light is transmitted through the transmission region.

Ocular fundus inspection apparatus (10) having a frame (11) provided with references for the positioning of at least one of the patient's eyes in an inspection position, and an inspection unit (100) fixed to the frame (11) and comprising: a first optical unit (12) having an optical axis incident in correspondence of the inspection position references; an image detecting device (13); a second optical unit (14), for the focusing, having an optical axis incident on the detecting device (13), in said inspection unit (100) being defined an optical path between the first optical unit (12) and the detecting device (13); a first lighting unit (15) for projecting a focusing pattern, for focusing the ocular fundus on said detecting device (13), the focusing pattern being formed by an infrared radiation. The first lighting unit (15) emits the focusing pattern from a first emission position.

An ophthalmic machine is provided for obtaining and diagnosing fluorescence images of the retina. An excitation light having first wavelengths (e.g., between 430 nm and 490 nm) is scanned onto the retina. Light emitted by the retina, when illuminated thereby, is filtered to block light of the first wavelengths and to pass light of second (higher) wavelengths. A second filter selects a component of the passed light having second (e.g., green) wavelengths, and a third filter selects a component of the passed light having third (e.g., red) wavelengths. First and second detection means receive light transmitted by the first and second filters, respectively, and provide detection signals indicative thereof. The detection signals are processed to provide one or more images of the retina, said images of the retina comprising at least a color fluorescence image of the retina.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus including a lens housing coupled to a lens assembly, a first lens disposed in a first end of the lens housing, a lens holder disposed in a second end of the lens housing, a lens aligner coupled to the lens assembly, and an optical element. The optical element is insertable laterally into the lens assembly to adjust a transverse position of the first lens and the second lens based on a thickness of the optical element to align a first axis of the first lens and the second lens to a second axis of a third lens positioned in the lens assembly for imaging an eye.

A method of automating the collection, association, and coordination of multiple medical data sources using a coordinating service application, computer, database, and/or server system to manage devices, examinations, and people involved in the medical examination and treatment process. In an embodiment, the method comprises authenticating a user for a premises, a device, or a device group, validating particular use of the device based on user credentials or type of device or device group, associating a medical examination with a patient or a medical examination schedule, associating medical examination data from a device or device group with a related medical examination session, routing medical examination data to a computer, database, or server, and pairing medical examination session data with a medical interpretation, clinical testing results, diagnoses, and/or other recorded information.

Disclosed is a polarization fundus camera including: an illumination unit emitting light; a diffusion lens; an illumination lens irradiating the light introduced from the diffusion lens; a mirror reflecting light introduced from the illumination lens; a polarization beam splitter; an objective lens enlarging an image of a fundus formed by the light introduced from the polarization beam splitter; a short-range eyepiece lens reducing an image of the fundus enlarged by the objective lens; a linear polarization filter; a narrowband optical filter; and an imaging device.

System and method directed towards providing full and even illumination of a patient's retina through lighting integrated into a handheld fundus lens. By integrating the lighting, the method and system reduces and even eliminate many lens artifacts and reflections. By increasing the accuracy, quality, and field of view afforded during clinical examination of the retina, the method and system will allow practitioners to make more accurate diagnoses and will increase safety during retinal surgical procedures.

An imaging system for generating an image of a region of an eye, comprising: an ocular imaging device controlled by a control module to acquire, from a first viewpoint, a first ocular image of the region having an image artefact caused by obstruction from imaging of a part of the region by an object, and a second ocular image from a predetermined second viewpoint, which shows at least a portion of the part of the region that was obstructed from imaging during acquisition of the first ocular image; and an image data processing module for combining the first and second ocular images to generate an enhanced ocular image having an image artefact caused by obstruction from imaging by the object which is smaller in relation to the image artefact in the first or second ocular image, or no such image artefact.

The present invention is directed to a medical imaging device attachment with onboard sensor array and computational processing unit, which can be adapted to and reversibly attached to multiple models of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopes (BIOs), enabling simultaneous or time-delayed viewing and collaborative review of photographs or videos from an eye examination. The invention also claims a method for photographing and integrating information associated with the images, videos, or other data generated from the eye examination.
