Systems and methods for assessing the visual acuity of person using a computerized consumer device are described. The approach involves determining a separation distance between a human user and the consumer device based on an image size of a physical feature of the user, instructing the user to adjust the separation between the user and the consumer device until a predetermined separation distance range is achieved, presenting a visual acuity test to the user including displaying predetermined optotypes for identification by the user, recording the user's spoken identifications of the predetermined optotypes and providing real-time feedback to the user of detection of the spoken indications by the consumer device, carrying out voice recognition on the spoken identifications to generate corresponding converted text, comparing recognized words of the converted text to permissible words corresponding to the predetermined optotypes, determining a score based on the comparison, and determining whether the person passed the visual acuity test.

A handheld ophthalmic device configured to perform various optical diagnostic tests to determine the health of a subject's eye. The handheld ophthalmic device is configured to be attached to a smartphone, a cell phone or an electronic tablet. The smartphone, a cell phone or an electronic tablet can be used to view images obtained by the handheld ophthalmic device and to transmit data and images obtained by the handheld ophthalmic device to an ophthalmologist located remotely.

In certain embodiments, a system for aligning an eye with a patient interface of a laser device includes a camera, a display screen, and a computer. The camera records images of the eye through the patient interface of the laser device. A liquid is disposed between and is in contact with the patient interface and the outer surface of the eye. The images include an outline of the liquid. The display screen displays the images of the eye. The computer aligns the eye with the patient interface by: identifying the outline of the liquid in an image received from the camera; determining a misalignment of the eye according to the outline; and instructing the display screen to display a description of the misalignment.

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.

The present disclosure generally relates to patient positioning apparatuses for ophthalmic testing. In one or more embodiments, an ophthalmic device includes a base having a first side surface and an ophthalmic component disposed over or coupled to a top surface of the base. The ophthalmic component has a second side surface being separated by a distance in a first direction from the first side surface such that the ophthalmic component overhangs the base. The ophthalmic device includes a headrest assembly coupled to the base. The headrest assembly includes a first headrest assembly section extending from the first side surface of the base at least in part in the first direction, a second headrest assembly section extending from the first headrest assembly section at least in part in a second direction parallel to the second side surface, and a third headrest assembly section extending from the second headrest assembly section.

An imaging device and method is shown to image ocular tissue in motion. Devices and methods include at least one target to align the patient's eye at a desired angular orientation, multiple selectable target locations, and control circuitry to display the target at the multiple target locations and image ocular tissue at each multiple target location.

A device (100) for measuring ocular microtremor (OMT) of a patient's eye, comprises a light source (10) for illuminating a target area of the eye with a light beam. The device also comprises a detector (20) arranged to detect scattered light from the interaction of the light beam with the target area of the eye. The device further comprises a focusing lens (30) arranged to collect the scattered light for the detector, and a port in a wall of the device through which the light beam can exit the device and/or through which the scattered light can enter the device. The device is configured to stabilise and/or support the device on or against a patients head. A method of measuring microtremor of an eye is also provided.

A mobile communication device-based corneal topography system includes an illumination system, an imaging system, a topography processor, an image sensor, and a mobile communication device. The illumination system is configured to generate an illumination pattern reflected off a cornea of a subject. The imaging system is coupled to an image sensor to capture an image of the reflected illumination pattern. A topography processor is coupled to the image sensor to process the image of the reflected illumination pattern. The mobile communications device includes a display, the mobile communications device is operatively coupled to the image sensor. The mobile communications device includes a mobile communications device (MCD) processor. A housing at least partially encloses one or more of the illumination system, the imaging system, or the topography processor.
