EYE EXAMINATION KIOSK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE EYE EXAMINATION
The eye examination kiosk and method may comprise a structure for rotating and/or translating ophthalmologic examination devices such as an auto-refractor, an auto-keratometer, a corneal topographer, a fundus camera, an external photo camera, a perimeter, a lensmeter, a specular microscope, a retinal and external eye imager, an Optical Coherence Tomographer (OCT), or a non-contact tonometer into a position such that they may be used for examination of a patient. The kiosk outer shell may comprise an opening allowing the ophthalmologic examination equipment to perform eye examinations of a patient. Eye examination results are transmitted to a remote location where they are read by a physician, who transmits examination findings and recommendations for follow up treatment to the patient. The results may include the identity of qualified physicians who practice geographically near the patient, or who are qualified to treat a patient for a specific condition indication.
Eye examination method and apparatus therefor
A method for carrying out an eye examination on an examinee is provided. The method includes providing a display configured for displaying a visual stimulus; forming a visual path between the display and at least one eye of the examinee; displaying on the display at least one visual stimulus having visual characteristics; detecting reflexive eye response of the at least one eye in response to the displaying of the visual stimulus; assessing vision of the at least one eye in accordance with the reflexive eye response and the characteristics of the visual stimulus.
Ophthalmologic device and method of operating ophthalmologic device
An ophthalmologic device includes: a visual target presenting unit configured to present a common visual target to be viewed with both subject's eyes; a presenting distance changing unit configured to change a presenting distance of the visual target presented by the visual target presenting unit from a predetermined far vision distance to a predetermined near vision distance; an ocular characteristic acquiring unit configured to objectively acquire an optical characteristic of the subject's eyes; an addition power adding unit configured to add the addition power to the both subject's eyes; and a control unit configured to cause the presenting distance changing unit to change the presenting distance and the ocular characteristic acquiring unit to continuously acquire the optical characteristic, in a state in which an addition power is added to the both subject's eyes by the addition power adding unit.

REMOTE COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMINATION SYSTEM
An ophthalmic technician is present with a patient in an exam room to operate eye examination equipment and transmit patient information to remote location. At that remote location, a skilled technician is present to provide the necessary optical care, and may operate the phoropter from the remote location. Using video and/or teleconferencing equipment and a phoropter located in the patient examination room along with management software, the system works to determine the final optical prescription for the patient. That information, coupled with findings from other devices which are integrated with the management software, and that the patient uses locally, are reviewed by a remote-based optometrist or ophthalmologist.

MULTI-DETECTOR ANALYSIS OF THE TEAR FILM OF AN EYE
In certain embodiments, an ophthalmic system for assessing a tear film of an eye comprises measuring devices and a computer. The measuring devices detect light reflected from the eye, where an ocular surface of the eye comprises the tear film, and generate data from the reflected light that describes the eye. The computer aligns the data corresponding to the same location for a plurality of locations, assesses the data at the locations to detect one or more abnormalities of the tear film, and determines a tear film description from the assessment of the data at the locations.
AUTOMATED VISION TESTS AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A system and method for conducting automated vision tests and associated training using artificial intelligence processing on an extended reality (XR) platform includes: an extended reality headset display device configured to be worn by a user and operated by the user without direct medical professional assistance; a computing device communicatively coupled to the extended reality headset display device; and a vision testing and training module configured to execute on the computing device, the vision testing module when executed: displays at least one test data set comprising a plurality of vision tests to a user; detects a plurality of user responses to the tests; records the plurality of user responses; processes the plurality of user responses; and stores the plurality of user responses to compare with a plurality of other recorded user data to determine standards based on user qualifications.
Method and system for monitoring control capability
A method and system for providing motion analysis data useful in identifying, monitoring, or treating neurological conditions. The preferred embodiment uses an optical coherence tomography system to obtain information about capability of motion control and control of involuntary eye movement. Alternate embodiments are taught.
