NUMERICAL SYSTEM CONTROL OF OPHTHALMIC VISUALIZATION AND IMAGE SYSTEM
A system for ophthalmic imaging comprising an ophthalmic device configured to obtain stereoscopic images of an eye of a patient and to transmit the images in real-time to a display device via a network for viewing by practitioners. The ophthalmic device comprises at least an optic assembly, a processing assembly, a slit assembly, such as a slit lamp, and a positioning assembly. Control devices structured to control the ophthalmic device over the network, such as the world wide web, can be disposed at a plurality of locations, and may be remote from the ophthalmic device while providing real time control of the parameters of the ophthalmic device by the practitioner(s) associated therewith.
AUTOMATED DETERMINATION OF ARTERIOVENOUS RATIO IN IMAGES OF BLOOD VESSELS
The methods and systems provided can automatically determine an Arteriolar-to-Venular diameter Ratio, AVR, in blood vessels, such as retinal blood vessels and other blood vessels in vertebrates. The AVR is an important predictor of increases in the risk for stroke, cerebral atrophy, cognitive decline, and myocardial infarct.
PROCESS OF CORRECTION OF THE SHIFT DUE TO TEMPERATURE OF THE OPTICAL POWER OF AN ACTIVE LENS OF A PHOROPTER AND RELATED PHOROPTER AND OPTOMETRY SYSTEM
A process, phoropter, and an optometry system, the process being for correction of the shift of the optical power of an active lens in a phoropter due to a temperature change over time, the active lens including a container filled with a liquid and having a deformable curvature membrane under the action of an actuator controlled by an optical power control command, the shift being that the active lens provides an actual optical power that is different from the expected optical power corresponding to the optical power control command. A temperature sensor is arranged in and/or on the phoropter to measure the temperature in the phoropter.
MIXED REALITY METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR EFFICIENT MEASUREMENT OF EYE FUNCTION
Methods and systems for administering modular eye tests to a patient via a head mounted display (HMD) device. In some embodiments, the HMD device receives selection of a test module associated with a specific eye test which has been downloaded from an application store, provides instructions to a patient concerning the specific eye test, receives patient input data responsive to the specific eye test instructions, and stores the patient input data in a patient database. In some embodiments, the process also includes the HMD device determining that the test module was selected by the patient, determining that the specific eye test results significantly deviate from a baseline model of the patient and then transmitting the specific eye test results to an eye doctor associated with the patient.
CORNEAL CONTACT TYPE OPHTHALMIC DIGITAL MICROSCOPE
The present invention relates to a conical contact type ophthalmic digital microscope, and more particularly, to a conical contact type ophthalmic digital microscope allowing observation of a magnified eyeball while being placed above a cornea of a patient. The corneal contact type ophthalmic digital microscope according to the present invention includes a housing, an objective lens part installed below the housing and configured to come in contact with a cornea of an eyeball, an image sensor part installed in the housing and configured to capture the eyeball visible through the objective lens part and generate an eyeball image, a position adjuster configured to change a position of the image sensor part, and a control part configured to control operations of the image sensor part and the position adjuster and output the eyeball image through a display provided outside the housing.
Metaverse system
Systems and methods are disclosed to inspect an eye includes capturing an eye image using a mobile device camera; extracting features of the eye; applying a deep learning neural network to detect the eye for identification.
CONTROLLER AND EYE-EXAMINING DEVICE HAVING THE SAME
A stick controller for adjusting the position of an examination unit with respect to an eye to be examined in an ophthalmic eye-examining device includes an operation unit configured to be operated by a user so as to be positioned in a first driving area or a second driving area; a first magnetic coupling part coupled to the operation unit and configured to move along a first area together with the operation unit; a second magnetic coupling part detachably coupled to the first magnetic coupling part by magnetic force and configured to move along a second area; and a control signal generation unit configured to output a first drive control signal when the operation unit is positioned in the first driving area and output a second drive control signal when the operation unit is positioned in the second driving area.
Automated determination of arteriovenous ratio in images of blood vessels
The methods and systems provided can automatically determine an Arteriolar-to-Venular diameter Ratio, AVR, in blood vessels, such as retinal blood vessels and other blood vessels in vertebrates. The AVR is an important predictor of increases in the risk for stroke, cerebral atrophy, cognitive decline, and myocardial infarct.
EYE EXAMINATION APPARATUS FOR USE WITH A SMARTPHONE
Disclosed is an eye examination apparatus for use with a smartphone. The eye examination apparatus has a body having a first eye opening and a second eye opening for a user to see into the eye examination apparatus using two eyes. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, the eye examination apparatus has a coupling for receiving a smartphone having a display and a camera and for holding the smartphone in a predefined position in relation to the body, such that the camera of the smartphone is positioned to acquire ophthalmic images through the first eye opening, and the display of the smartphone is viewable through the second eye opening. In this manner, it is possible for the user to have an eye examination performed remotely outside of a clinician's office without specialized equipment by instead using their own smartphone.
Vision measurement device and method of measuring vision using the same
A vision measurement device includes an eyepiece with a lens; an outer tube connected to the eyepiece including a target having a predetermined pattern, the target being movable along an optical axis of the lens with respect to the outer tube; a diopter indicator with an indicating portion and a pointing portion; where during the movement of the target with respect to the outer tube along the optical axis of the lens, one of the indicator portion and the pointing portion moves along with the target with respect to the outer tube while the other of the indicator portion and the pointing portion does not move, and when an eye is capable of clearly seeing the predetermined pattern on the target through the eyepiece, the value of the scale indicated by the pointing portion corresponds to the diopter of the eye.
