Ophthalmological length measurement by means of dual-beam space-time domain wavelength tuning low-coherence interferometry
11317799 · 2022-05-03 · ·

Measurement of intraocular lengths by dual-beam Fourier low-coherence interferometry on the basis of Fresnel-zone-type space-time domain interferograms of the Purkinje-Sanson reflexes. The eye is illuminated by parallel, monochromatic dual beams having wavelengths which differ in temporal sequence. Wavelength spectra of space-time domain interferograms are imaged onto a photodetector array and registered. Viewing direction and position of the eye are fixed by optical aids and are monitored by acoustic and optical aids. A zoom optical unit in the output beam of the ophthalmological interferometer makes it possible, by simple focusing, to image virtual Fresnel-zone-type space-time domain interferograms from contrast-optimized positions onto the photodetector array or onto an image intensifier that is arranged in front of the photodetector array such that the position-dependent size change of the space-time domain interferograms is compensated by the scale change of this imaging.

A system and method for testing a subject for cognitive or oculomotor impairment includes presenting the subject with a display of an object, while presenting the display to the subject, and the subject's head moves horizontally or vertically within a predefined range of movement rates, measuring the subject's right eye positions and/or the subject's left eye positions. The system generates a metric by statistical analysis of the measurements of subject's right eye positions or the subject's left eye positions, and generates a report based on the metric. In some embodiments, the system is configured to train the subject to improve their performance, and thereby remediate or reduce cognitive and oculomotor impairment.
