1060 NM WAVELENGTH RANGE-BASED OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT) SYSTEM FOR ANTERIOR/POSTERIOR SEGMENT IMAGING OF AN EYE
20190216313 · 2019-07-18 ·

An OCT system for generating images of an anterior or posterior segment of an eye is described. The system includes a light source, a controller, optics, a detector, and a processor. The light source generates a beam of light and is capable of operating in a posterior or an anterior segment imaging mode. In the posterior segment imaging mode, the light source outputs light with a spectral bandwidth equal or narrower than the width of the 1060 nm water absorption window. In the anterior segment imaging mode, the light source outputs light with a spectral bandwidth larger than the width of the 1060 nm water absorption window. The controller enables switching between the posterior or anterior segment imaging mode. The optics scan the light over a set of transverse locations across the eye. The detector measures returning light and generates output signals for use by the processor to generate images.

System and method for the training of head movements

The invention relates to a system and to a method for training head movements of a person. Visual stimuli are generated with a visual stimulus generation device for a left and/or right eye of the person. Head movements of the person are captured with a measurement device. The head movement of the person captured with respect to a generated visual stimulus is assessed in a computational unit. Assessment information that is dependent on the assessment of the head movement captured with respect to a generated visual stimulus is then provided for the person with an output device.

Intraocular pressure sensor with improved voltage reference circuit

An intraocular pressure sensor is presented that achieve very low power consumption. The intraocular pressure sensor takes the form of an implantable assembly configured to be implanted in an eye of a subject. Specifically, the implantable assembly is comprised of a capsular tension ring attached to a flexible printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board includes a cutout that is sized to encircle the pupil of the eye and is C shaped. One or more electrical components are also mounted onto the flexible printed circuit board. One such component is a voltage reference generator that is implemented by a circuit which provides inherently low process variation and low power consumption.

ULTRA WIDE FIELD FUNDUS IMAGING SYSTEM
20190082956 · 2019-03-21 ·

An ultra wide field fundus imaging system comprises a photosource, an optical splitter, a scanning assembly, a curved reflector, a probe pinhole and an imaging assembly. The scanning assembly includes a first scanning mirror scanning along a first direction and a second scanning mirror scanning along a second direction. The light emitted by the photosource passes through the optical splitter, then successively is reflected by the first scanning mirror, the curved reflector, the second scanning mirror and the curved reflector, and then enters in the fundus; the light entering the fundus is reflected by the retina and then successively is reflected by the curved reflector, the second scanning mirror, the curved reflector, the first scanning mirror and then returned to the optical splitter; the light is reflected by the optical splitter and passes through the probe pinhole, finally the light enters in the imaging assembly. Compared with the prior art, the ultra wide field fundus imaging system realizes fundus imaging by total reflection and can effectively avoid ghost images caused by lens module imaging to improve the imaging quality. Since the curvature of the curved reflector is gradually changed, so the light reflected by the curved reflector can enter in the fundus at a larger incident angle to achieve wide field imaging.
