摘要:
Devices, systems, and methods that facilitate optical analysis, particularly for the diagnosis and treatment of refractive errors of the eye. Embodiments of the invention may facilitate the use of multi-modal diagnostic instruments and instrument systems, making it easier to acquire and fuse data from different measurements of the eye. For example, wavefront aberrometry may be fused with corneal topography, optical coherence topography and wavefront, optical coherence topography and topography, pachymetry and wavefront, etc. While some of these different optical datasets may be obtained simultaneously, it is often difficult and/or disadvantageous to attempt to acquire the images or other data at exactly the same time. Advantageously, both patient movement between measurements (and/or during a measurement sequence) can be identified, as well as changes in the eye itself (including those induced by the measurement, such as changes in the size of the pupil, changes in pupil location, etc.).

A geometric measurement system is adapted to precisely measure one or more surfaces of objects such as corneas, molds, contact lenses in molds, contact lenses, or other objects in a fixture. The geometric measurement system can employ one or more of three possible methods of measurement: Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing with wavefront stitching; phase diversity sensing; and white light interferometry.

A system for mapping a three-dimensional structure includes a projecting optical system adapted to project light onto an object, a correction system adapted to compensate the light for at least one aberration in the object, an imaging system adapted to collect light scattered by the object and a wavefront sensor adapted to receive the light collected by the imaging system and to sense a wavefront of the received light. For highly aberrated structures, a number of wavefront measurements are made which are valid over different portions of the structure, and the valid wavefront data is stitched together to yield a characterization of the total structure.

A method for computing the visual performance of a human or animal subject based on objective measurements of visual refraction, including higher order aberrations, includes measuring wavefront aberrations of a subject ocular pupil, computing a point-spread-function from the measured pupil aberration, providing a test image, and convolving the test image with the point-spread-function. A simulated image may be produced from the convolution result of the test image with the point-spread-function. One or more specific terms of the point-spread-function may be subtracted therefrom prior to the convolving step to simulate an effect of a correcting means, such as spectacles lenses, contact lenses, or laser surgery. A best correction for a given subject may be determined by adjusting the terms that are subtracted to optimize the resultant image.
摘要:
A system for containing either a reflective particle or a particle having an index of refraction lower than that of the surrounding media in a three-dimensional light cage. A light beam from a single source illuminates an optics system and generates a set of at least three discrete focussed beams that emanate from a single exit aperture and focus on to a focal plane located close to the particle. The set of focal spots defines a ring that surrounds the particle. The set of focussed beams creates a "light cage" and circumscribes a zone of no light within which the particle lies. The surrounding beams apply constraining forces (created by radiation pressure) to the particle, thereby containing it in a three-dimensional force field trap. A diffractive element, such as an aperture multiplexed lens, or either a Dammann grating or phase element in combination with a focusing lens, may be used to generate the beams. A zoom lens may be used to adjust the size of the light cage, permitting particles of various sizes to be captured and contained.

A system for detecting objects in a turbid media utilizes an optical parametric amplifier as an amplifying gate for received light from the media. An optical gating pulse from a second parametric amplifier permits the system to respond to and amplify only ballistic photons from the object in the media.

A 1-dimensional sensor for measuring wavefront distortion of a light beam as a function of time and spatial position includes a lens system which incorporates a linear array of lenses, and a detector system which incorporates a linear array of light detectors positioned from the lens system so that light passing through any of the lenses is focused on at least one of the light detectors. The 1-dimensional sensor determines the slope of the wavefront by location of the detectors illuminated by the light. The 1 dimensional sensor has much greater bandwidth that 2 dimensional systems.

A method for optimizing an ophthalmic treatment, comprising: measuring a patient's eye with an ophthalmic measurement instrument, fabricating a trial correction lens and testing it on the patient's eye, determining a score or success criteria for the trial correction, using the score or success criteria to provide training information to a machine-learning algorithm, and using the machine-learning algorithm to determine an optimal ophthalmic correction.
摘要:
This invention comprises a combined optical wavefront aberrometer and topographer system that is used in conjunction with a contact lens that has a plurality of fiducial marks disposed on the lens. The fiducial marks are located radially inside of the undilated pupil's diameter. The optical imaging capacity of the aberrometer is used to measure and monitor any misalignments of the contact lens's position (XY decentration) and/or rotation. Image analysis algorithms are used to track the positions of the fiducial marks, and, hence, the amount of geometric misalignment of the contact lens can be calculated. The fiducial marks can comprise micro ink spots, or depressions in the surface of the contact lens (e.g., divots, dimples, pits), or other small surface features, including raised bumps, which can help to stabilize motions of the contact lens on the eye.
摘要:
Method steps for correcting vision in an eye that uses a customized phakic IOL composing: (1) measuring one or more wavefront aberrations of the eye: (2) designing a wavefront-customized correction profile for an Intraocular Lens (IOL); (3) creating a customized IOL with the customized correction profile; and (4) implanting the customized IOL in the eye. Alternatively, an uncorrected IOL is first implanted and aligned in the eye, followed by in-situ scanning a femtosecond laser spot across the implanted IOL to locally change the Index of Refraction of the IOL material and create an in-situ customized IOL.
