    摘要: Devices and methods for the amelioration of ectatic corneal disorders using corneal augmentations derived from corneal tissue are disclosed. The shape of the augmentation is determined using data obtained from mapping of a patient's cornea based on computerized corneal topography and tomography. Factors considered include the maximum keratometry and specific iso-deviation contours. In one embodiment, an augmentation is a corneal inlay, intended for insertion into an intrastromal pocket. In a further embodiment, the augmentation is a corneal onlay, intended to be positioned over a region of the cornea from which the epithelial layer has been removed. The corneal onlay is held in place until the epithelial layer regrows over the augmentation. In a further embodiment, the inlay or onlay augmentation is followed by a post-augmentation, further reshaping of the corneal augmentation. In one embodiment, this further reshaping is photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) surgery.

    摘要: Described are implementations of systems and methods for an improved machine learning-based system that incorporates pre-operative and intraoperative measurements captured during surgery, as well as additional patient-specific data, to provide an individualized, highly accurate post-operative manifest refraction prediction. According to some embodiments, a determination engine generates a predictive feature set of one or more predictors associated with diagnostic measurements of one or more eyes and performs a recursive selection operation using one or more combinations within the predictive feature set and one or more models to produce a most predictive subset, the most predictive subset having a highest prediction accuracy among other predictive subsets for post-operative manifest refraction. The determination engine generates a determination model by refining and retraining the one or more models of the recursive selection operation utilizing the most predictive subset.

    摘要: A device and method for early detection of eye disease including a corneal topography device including a camera, such as a rotating Scheimpflug camera, configured to measure the elevation of a patient's two anterior corneas sequentially or simultaneously; a computer processor; and non-transitory computer readable media including computer readable instructions, which, when executed by the computer processor, causes the device to measure and store elevation data at a plurality of points on the patient's anterior corneal surfaces; organize the elevation data for each cornea into a two-dimensional matrix where the center of the cornea is in the center of the data frame, rotate the data for a first eye 180 degrees around the Y axis relative to a second eye, subtract data on each corresponding corneal point, and generate an elevation difference matrix showing the degree of symmetry or asymmetry between the patient's left and right eye corneal topography.

    摘要: Systems and methods automatically locate optical surfaces of an eye and automatically generate surface models of the optical surfaces. A method includes OCT scanning of an eye. Returning portions of a sample beam are processed to locate a point on the optical surface and first locations on the optical surface within a first radial distance of the point. A first surface model of the optical surface is generated based on the location of the point and the first locations. Returning portions of the sample beam are processed so as to detect second locations on the optical surface beyond the first radial distance and within a second radial distance from the point. A second surface model of the optical surface is generated based on the location of the point on the optical surface and the first and second locations on the optical surface.

    摘要: An illumination system for producing a spatially distributed illumination pattern for measuring the cornea of an eye and, in particular, for determining the topography of the eye. In so doing, the system facilitates distance-independent measurements. The illumination system includes an illumination unit, an optical element for collimating the illumination light and a unit for producing a spatially distributed illumination pattern in the form of a fraxicon. In particular, the illumination unit includes a plurality of illumination modules which are arranged such that each illumination module illuminates part of the fraxicon, and consequently a full-area illumination is facilitated. The system for producing a spatially distributed illumination pattern serves to determine the topography of the cornea of an eye. Here, the system is designed as a compact module, and so it can be easily combined with other measurement systems, without interfering with the beam paths thereof.
