20220202288 · 2022-06-30 ·

The present invention provides a system and a method for measuring ocular motility of a patient. The system comprises a display unit capable of presenting at least one target; a blocking unit configured and operable to selectively block/unblock at least one target in a field of view of at least one eye of the patient; a camera unit comprising at least one imaging element configured and operable to generate at least two image data indicative of at least one eye condition; and a processing unit connected to the blocking unit, to the display unit and to the camera unit, the processing unit being configured for performing the following steps: (a) displaying at least one target, for at least one eye (b) receiving image data indicative of at least one eye's condition from the camera unit, (c) controlling the blocking unit to block/unblock at least one target in the field of view of at least one eye of the patient, (d) detecting a change in at least one eye's condition, (e) displacing the target for at least one eye; and repeating steps (a)-(e) until no change in the eye's condition is measured to thereby determine at least one ocular motility parameter.

Systems and methods for improved ophthalmic imaging

An ophthalmic imaging system has a specialized graphical user interface GUI to convey information for manually adjusting control inputs to bring an eye into alignment with the device. The GUI provides additional information such as laterality, visual alignment overlay aids, and live video feeds. The system further applies automatic gain control to fundus images, synchronizes itself with other ophthalmic systems on a computer network, and provides an optimized image load and display system.

Methods and systems for alignment of ophthalmic imaging devices

Ophthalmic imaging systems and related methods provide pseudo feedback to aid a user in aligning the user's eye with an optical axis of the imaging system. An ophthalmic imaging system includes an ophthalmic imaging device having an optical axis, a display device, an eye camera, and a control unit. The display device displays a fixation target viewable by the user. The eye camera images the eye to generate eye image data. The control unit processes the eye image data to determine a position of the eye relative to the optical axis, processes the position of the eye relative to the optical axis to generate a pseudo position of the eye relative to the optical axis, and causes the display device to display an indication that provides feedback to the user that the eye is located at the pseudo position of the eye relative to the optical axis.

Dynamic eye fixation for retinal imaging

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 lateral misalignment between the eye and the eyepiece lens assembly is greater than a threshold misalignment, in response to determining the lateral misalignment is greater than the threshold misalignment, adjusting a visual position of the dynamic fixation target to encourage the eye to rotate in a direction that compensates for the lateral misalignment, and acquiring the retinal image of the eye while the eye is encouraged to rotate towards the direction that compensates for the lateral misalignment.

Retinal imaging system

Provided is a wearable fundus camera configured to be worn as a headset by a human, the wearable fundus camera comprising: an infrared light source configured to output infrared light to be directed at a retina of the human; an image sensor configured to capture infrared images depicting a retina of an eye of the human under illumination from the infrared light source without a pupil of the eye being dilated with mydriatics; and an eye cuff configured to be biased against a face of the human and occlude at least some ambient light from reaching the image sensor.

SMART EYEGLASSES FOR IMPROVING VISUAL IMPAIRMENT AND FACILITATING VISUAL FIELD TESTS
20220224843 · 2022-07-14 ·

A pair of eyeglasses including right and left temples, one or more lenses/displays, one or more gyroscopes, one or more sensors configured to determine the position of a wearer's eyes, one or more cameras, one or more processors running software configured to receive input in the form of video content from said one or more cameras and output manipulated video content to said one or more lenses/displays for viewing by a wearer thereof. The eyeglasses may be used to provide visual field tests to wearers in an actual real-life environment rather than an office setting.

Field-deployable neurological assessment tool for performance readiness and telemedicine

Provided is a portable, hand-held, self-powered, self-calibrated, easy-to-use “iCOBRA” system, a neural/neurological assessment tool for both operational decision-making in military, aerospace, sports, and other high-performance settings, and to assist in diagnostics in medical practice. The system harnesses multimodal 3D imaging technologies for robust, calibration free, head and eye tracking to allow for visual, vestibular, and oculomotor assessment of human neural health and performance.

OPHTHALMIC FIXATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE
20220265138 · 2022-08-25 ·

A ophthalmic fixation apparatus includes a case housing with an interior area to hold a power source, the case housing further having a switch to activate a first fixation element and a second fixation element; one or more straps extending from the case housing; a first flexible conduit extending from the case housing and to facilitate direction of the first fixation element; and a second flexible conduit extending from the case housing and to facilitate direction of the second fixation element; the ophthalmic apparatus is for use during an eye exam to keep the patient's attention and maintain a still eye for examination.

EYE VISION TEST HEADSET SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20220313076 · 2022-10-06 · ·

A system for conducting eye vision tests includes a patient-wearable headset having first and second displays configured to be visible separately to each of the patient's eyes, and a user interface that allows a user to provide vision test feedback. Visual field tests are conducted using the headset to determine a patient's visual field zone, contrast sensitivity, and reaction times, thereby establishing a calibration customized to each patient. The system is operable to perform tests of visual conditions, such as torsion and strabismus, for each of the patient's eyes.
