    Abstract: A source of light energy such as a source of violet light energy is coupled to a structure configured to contact the eye. The light source and structure are arranged to provide therapeutic amounts of violet light energy to the eye in order to inhibit the progression of refractive error such as myopia. The light source can be configured in many ways and may comprise a radioisotope and a phosphorescent material. The structure configured to contact the eye may comprise a contact lens or an implant.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses and methods for prediction, diagnosis, planning and monitoring for myopia and myopic progression. In some embodiments, one or more refractive properties of the eye is determined for each of a plurality of retinal locations of the eye. The plurality of locations may comprise a central region, such as a fovea of the eye, or non-foveal region such as a peripheral region or a region of the macula outside the fovea. Measuring the refractive properties of the eye for the plurality of locations may be helpful in diagnosing myopia and other ocular conditions by providing the refractive properties of the eye for locations away from the fovea, such as the peripheral retina.

    Abstract: An OCT axial length measurement device is configured to measure an area of the retina within a range from about 0.05 mm to about 2.0 mm. The area can be measured with a scanned measurement beam or plurality of substantially fixed measurement beams. The OCT measurement device may comprise a plurality of reference optical path lengths, in which a first optical path length corresponds to a first position of a cornea, and a second optical path length corresponds to a second position of the retina, in which the axial length is determined based on a difference between the first position and the second position. An axial length map can be generated to determine alignment of the eye with the measurement device and improve accuracy and repeatability of the measurements. In some embodiments, the OCT measurement device comprises a swept source vertical cavity surface emitting laser (“VCSEL”).

    Abstract: An OCT system for measuring a retina as part of an eye health monitoring and diagnosis system. The OCT system includes an OCT interferometer, where the interferometer comprises a light source or measurement beam and a scanner for moving the beam on the retina of a patient's eye, and a processor configured to execute instructions to cause the scanner to move the measurement beam on the retina in a scan pattern. Measurement data may be processed using a decurving process to enhance the resolution of the ILM layer and provide improved determinations of retinal thickness.
