20230309819 · 2023-10-05 ·

An ophthalmologic apparatus includes an optotype presentation mechanism that presents an optotype to a left subject eye and a right subject eye, and is capable of changing a brightness difference between the optotype presented to the left subject eye and the optotype presented to the right subject eye, a convergence adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a convergence distance, an eye information obtaining portion configured to obtain eye information on the left subject eye and the right subject eye, and a controller configured to control the optotype presentation mechanism, the convergence adjustment mechanism, and the eye information obtaining portion, wherein the controller sets the convergence distance to a distance different from a optotype presentation distance, gradually increases a brightness difference, and detects a visual line direction of the left subject eye and a visual line direction of the right subject eye based on the eye information.

SURGERY ASSISTING DEVICE
20230255452 · 2023-08-17 · ·

A surgery assisting device includes an arm, a control device, and an operating device. The arm holds an endoscope and adjusts a position of the endoscope. The control device generates a viewpoint image of a three-dimensional model of a subject from a viewpoint of the endoscope, and controls a display to display the viewpoint image and an endoscope image obtained by the endoscope. The operating device rotates the endoscope image and the viewpoint image in conjunction with the endoscope image without causing a positional displacement of the endoscope.

Fundus image capturing

An example device is configured to capture an image of an eye. The device includes a camera configured to capture the image of the eye. The device also includes: a first base configured to be moved along a first axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye; a second base configured to be moved along a second axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye; and a third base configured to be moved along a third axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye.

Electroactive polymer devices, systems, and methods

A method for forming an electroactive device may include (i) depositing a curable material onto a primary electrode, (ii) curing the deposited curable material to form an electroactive polymer element comprising a cured elastomer material, and (iii) depositing an electrically conductive material onto a surface of the electroactive polymer element opposite the primary electrode to form a secondary electrode. The cured elastomer material may have a Poisson's ratio of between approximately 0.1 and approximately 0.35. Various other devices, methods, and systems are also disclosed.

OPHTHALMIC EXAMINATION AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT WITH MULTIPLE ILLUMINATION MODALITIES
20230371812 · 2023-11-23 ·

Imaging various regions of the eye is important for both clinical diagnostic and treatment purposes as well as for scientific research. Diagnosis of a number of clinical conditions relies on imaging of the various tissues of the eye. The subject technology describes a method and apparatus for imaging of the back and/or front of the eye using multiple illumination modalities, which permits the collection of one or more of reflectance, spectroscopic, fluorescence, and laser speckle contrast images.
