METHOD OF EXAMINING AN EYE OF A SQUINTING PERSON BY USE OF A PERISCOPIC DEVICE AND SUCH A PERISCOPIC DEVICE

The present invention relates to a periscopic device (3) for examining an eye of a person having an inwardly squinting eye (esotropia). The periscopic device (3) comprises a tube (4), a first mirror (5) arranged inside the first end (6) of the tube (4), and a second mirror (7) arranged inside the second end (8) of the tube (4). In one embodiment of the invention, the first and the second mirrors (5,7) are arranged so that when the person looks through the periscopic device (3) with the inwardly squinting eye (2) while the other eye (1) is being examined, the first and the second mirrors (5,7) (10,11) each deflects the line of sight of the person by an angle of approximately 90°. The periscopic device (3) further comprises a base out prism (9) arranged in front of the first mirror (5) so that, during use of the periscopic device (3), the line of sight of the inwardly squinting eye (2) is deflected towards the first mirror (5). In another embodiment of the invention, the first and the second mirrors (5,7) are arranged non-parallel to each other, and the first mirror (5) is arranged so that when the person looks through the periscopic device (3) with the inwardly squinting eye (2) while the other eye (1) is being examined, the line of sight of the inwardly squinting eye (2) is reflected in the first mirror (5) and towards the second mirror (7).

11701000 · 2023-07-18 · ·

In certain embodiments, double-vision-related vision defects determinations or modifications may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a stimulus may be to be presented at a first time at a position on a first display for a deviating eye of a user (e.g., without a stimulus being presented on a second display of for a reference eye of the user) to cause the deviating eye to fixate on the position on the first display. A deviation measurement for the deviating eye may be determined based on an amount of movement of the deviating eye occurring upon the presentation on the first display for the deviating eye at the first time. In some embodiments, a modification profile associated with the user may be determined based on the deviation measurement, where the modification profile includes one or more modification parameters to be applied to modify an image for the user.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING BINOCULAR VISION

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for improving binocular vision, which generate a virtual image moving between two different depths to stimulate and then strengthen the weaker/abnormal eye of the viewer to eventually improve or even restore his/her binocular vision based on the viewer's eye information. The system comprises an eye tracking module and a virtual image module. The eye tracking module is configured to provide eye information of the viewer. The virtual image module configured to display a first virtual object by projecting multiple normal light signals to a viewer's first eye to form a normal image and corresponding multiple adjusted light signals to a viewers second eye to form an adjusted image.

Optical coherence tomography-based ophthalmic testing methods, devices and systems

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an optical coherence tomography-based ophthalmic testing center system includes an optical coherence tomography instrument comprising an eyepiece for receiving at least one eye of a user or subject; a light source that outputs light that is directed through the eyepiece into the user's or subject's eye, an interferometer configured to produce optical interference using light reflected from the user's/subject's eye, an optical detector disposed so as to detect said optical interference; and a processing unit coupled to the detector. The ophthalmic testing center system can be configured to perform a multitude of self-administered functional and/or structural ophthalmic tests and output the test data.

Planar waveguide apparatus with diffraction element(s) and system employing same

A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.
