    摘要: What is provided are methods of analyzing at least one image of the anterior segment of an eye and for selecting an intraocular lens (IOL). The methods may include detecting at least one image from an anterior segment of the eye; identifying a location of a reference structure on the eye using a plurality of points of a landmark on the anterior segment of the eye; and calculating at least one quantitative dimension of the anterior segment of the eye using the reference structure. The newly identified landmarks and quantifiable dimensions improve the characterization of the anterior segment in order to better predict the position and movement of the intraocular lens. The improved methods for analyzing the imaging of the anterior segment of the eye allows for improvements in the refractive outcomes of cataract surgery, glaucoma procedures, refractive outcomes, and other eye-related diseases.

    摘要: A method of mitigating the development of myopia, includes measuring elasticity of collagen of an eye; identifying an eye for which the elasticity measured is above a preselected threshold; selectively applying a collagen cross-linking reagent proximate collagen of a sclera of a posterior pole portion of the eye for which the elasticity measured is above the preselected threshold; and irradiating at least the posterior pole portion of the eye with radiation of an appropriate wavelength to initiate covalent bonding and cross-linking of the collagen for which the elasticity measured is above the preselected threshold.

    摘要: A technical object is to provide an ophthalmic apparatus and an ophthalmic apparatus control program that are capable of appropriately performing alignment in a wide range. An ophthalmic apparatus that examines an examinee's eye includes: an optometry unit that examines the examinee's eye; drive means that adjusts a relative position between the optometry unit and the examinee's eye; an illuminating optical system including a first illuminating optical system for illuminating an anterior segment of the examinee's eye and a second illuminating optical system for illuminating a wider range than the first illuminating optical system; an imaging optical system including a first imaging optical system for imaging the anterior segment of the examinee's eye and a second imaging optical system for imaging a wider range than the first imaging optical system; and control means that controls an illuminating state with respect to the anterior segment between anterior segment illumination by the first illuminating optical system and wide range illumination by the second illuminating optical system.

    摘要: A scan area setting unit of an exemplary ophthalmic apparatus sets a scan area in a region passing through an iris outer edge. A first scan controller controls an OCT optical system to apply an OCT scan to the scan area. An image quality evaluating unit calculates an image quality evaluation value of an image from the OCT scan. A corner angle image detecting unit analyzes the image to detect a corner angle image. A position judging unit judges whether the corner angle image is located within a first area in an image frame. A second scan controller controls the OCT optical system to apply an OCT scan of a predetermined pattern to the anterior segment, if the image quality evaluation value is equal to or greater than a threshold and the corner angle image is located within the first area.

    摘要: A gonioscopic attachment can attach to a gonioscope and can include atraumatic retention elements that are configured to engage an eye to retain the gonioscope relative to the eye. The gonioscopic attachment can be configured to position the gonioscope so that at least a portion of the concave distal surface of the gonioscopic optical element is spaced apart from the eye, and/or so that the curvature of the distal surface is angularly offset from the curvature of the eye. The gonioscope can include a fixation point configured to be visible to the subject when the gonioscope is positioned on the eye. In some embodiments, the retention elements can be incorporated directly into the gonioscope. A coupling mechanism can couple the gonioscope to a lid speculum. The gonioscope can include a light pipe, which can be configured to directly light into the eye.
