Improved optical coherence tomography systems and methods to measure retinal data are presented. The systems may be compact, provide in-home monitoring, and have automation to allow the patient to measure himself or herself.

The technology described herein is directed to a fundus camera and, more specifically, to a fundus camera having a display that projects active visual alignment stimuli onto an eye of an examinee via one or more components of an optimal assembly. The active visual alignment stimuli are dynamically adjusted to guide an examinee toward optical alignment for fundus imaging.

The present invention relates to an eye movement measurement method including the steps of: (a) presenting standardized nystagmus test items and receiving am image of an eye in accordance with the standardized nystagmus test items; (b) recognizing a pupil and an iris from the image of the eye; (c) calculating amounts of horizontal and vertical changes of the pupil and an amount of torsional movement of the iris; (d) determining change values and orientations for three axis directions of the eye on the basis of the amounts of the horizontal and vertical changes of the pupil and the amount of the torsional movement of the iris; and (e) generating a diagnosis result for vertigo through deep learning modeling on the basis of the change values and orientations of the three axis directions of the eye.

An apparatus for producing a fundus image includes: a processor and a memory; an illumination component including a light source; a camera; and a display, the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to: display a target element on the display; display a light source reflection from a cornea of an eye on the display; update a position of the light source reflection on the display as a caregiver manipulates a position of the apparatus relative to the eye; as time elapses, modify the display to allow the light source reflection to more easily be positioned within the target element; and automatically initiate fundus image capture with the camera when the light source reflection is within the target element on the display.

A retinal imaging system includes an eyepiece lens assembly, an image sensor, a dynamic fixation target viewable through the eyepiece lens assembly, and a controller coupled to the image sensor and the dynamic fixation target. The controller includes logic that causes the retinal imaging system to perform operations including: acquiring a first image of the eye, analyzing the first image to determine whether a misalignment between the eye and the eyepiece lens assembly is present; in response to determining the misalignment is present, adjusting a visual position of the dynamic fixation target to encourage the eye to rotate in a direction that compensates for the misalignment, and acquiring the retinal image of the eye after adjusting the visual position of the dynamic fixation target.

A method for testing the eyes of a test person with the aid of a vision testing system as well as vision testing system, comprising a first measuring device, a second topographic measuring device, a third refractive measuring device and a processing means, an axial length (L) of an eye of the test person being measured with the aid of the first measuring device, a curvature of the cornea of the eye being measured with the aid of the second measuring device, a refractive property of the eye being measured with the aid of the third measuring device, a measurement simultaneously being carried out with the first, second and third measuring device at the eye, measurement data of the measurements of the first, second and third measuring device being processed with the aid of the processing means, said processing means presenting a database with normal data, a comparison of the measurement data with the normal data being carried out and a result of said comparison being issued by means of said processing means.

An ophthalmic apparatus includes an acquiring unit, an OCT unit, an analyzer, and a calculator. The acquiring unit is configured to acquire a dioptric power in a first region including a fovea of a subject's eye. The OCT unit is configured to acquire OCT data of a fundus of the subject's eye using optical coherence tomography. The analyzer is configured to specify a shape of the fundus by analyzing the OCT data. The calculator is configured to calculate a dioptric power in a peripheral region of the first region of the fundus based on the dioptric power in the first region and the shape of the fundus.

A pixel light source apparatus, system and method are disclosed for a stimulus source for visual pathway testing. A representative system includes a plurality of pixel light sources and a control and driver circuit. The pixel light sources are coupled to each other to form a partially-spherical dome, with each pixel light source arranged to emit light directed to a convergent location of the partially-spherical dome. The control and driver circuit implements a selected stimulus protocol to selectively energize each pixel light source to generate light stimulation to any arbitrary or selected portion of the retina of an eye of a human subject. A representative pixel light source comprises at least one elongated and optically opaque side wall; a rear wall; an illumination source; a first optical element defining a first light chamber; and a second optical element defining a second light chamber.

A vision testing device and related technique, the vision testing device including a touch screen, sequentially displaying visual targets on the touch screen while displaying a fixation target whose position is fixed on the touch screen, during a period from the beginning to the end of the test, and providing a test result based on whether a testee taps the visual target or not.

An ophthalmologic apparatus includes an objective measurement optical system that is configured to objectively measure eye characteristics of a subject eye; an optotype projection system that is configured to present a fixation target to the subject eye at a predetermined presentation position and apply fog to the subject eye; and a controller that is configured to control the objective measurement optical system and optotype projection system. The controller is further configured to objectively measure the eye characteristics over time by changing a presentation position of the fixation target from the predetermined presentation position in a direction to increase an amount of fog and presenting the fixation target.
