Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to ultrasound imaging and treatment of an eye and in particular directed to an apparatus and method for reducing intraocular pressure by 1) ablating the ciliary process which is the structure responsible for production of aqueous humor and 2) by vibrating the trabecular mesh to stimulate better drainage of fluid through the trabecular mesh and out of the eye. The present disclosure describes an apparatus and method for forming a high precision image of the eye wherein the resolution is sufficient to image, for example, ciliary body and region around the trabecular mesh. The present disclosure further discloses an imaging transducer and an irradiating therapeutic transducer that can be mounted such that they are movable between a plurality of positions.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for an enhanced goniometer. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a sequence of measurements to be measured based on one or more data points of an examination; receiving input from a user initiating a measurement; receiving raw data from a measuring component; processing the raw data to exclude measurements corresponding to one or more axes; generating a measurement result based on the processed raw data; and providing the measurement result for output.
Abstract:
A structure in an irido-comeal angle of an eye is located by directing a laser beam toward the irido-comeal angle of the eye, and advancing a focus of the laser beam to a location in the irido-corneal angle, which location is at or near the target structure. The focus is determined to be at or near the structure based on changes in an intensity of a spot of second harmonic light generated by an encounter between the focus and tissue.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a portable gonioscopy system comprising a portable gonioscope, said portable gonioscope further comprising a goniolens assembly, a body further comprising a light source with a filtering means, image capturing means such as a microscope lens and a viewing lens or device capable of recording images; and said portable gonioscope being coupled to a viewing means and a recording means. This portable gonioscope provides an alternative device to slit lamp gonioscope, which allows ophthalmological examination specially in the iridocorneal angle of the eye, anywhere possible outside of a hospital, thereby bringing convenience for field works and medical missions in remote areas.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for aiding a surgeon to perform a surgical procedure on an eye. The surgical procedure includes inserting an elongate probe from an opening into the eye across an anterior chamber to a target tissue region comprising a trabecular meshwork and a Schlemm' s canal. Exemplary systems include an optical microscope for the surgeon to view the eye with a microscope image during the procedure; an optical coherence tomography (OCT) apparatus configured to perform an OCT scan of a target location in the target tissue region during the procedure; and an image processing apparatus configured to generate an augmented image by overlaying an OCT image of target location and a graphical visual element identifying the locations, wherein the graphical visual element is registered with the microscope image to aid the surgeon in advancing a distal end of the elongate probe to the target location.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for overlay imaging for registration of a patient eye for laser surgery include aligning and overlaying a surgical image of the limbus over a previously acquired diagnostic image of the limbus. The surgical image is displayed with a degree of transparency and enabled to rotate about the limbus center. Various types of colors, markers, contrast, and backgrounds may be used to generate a display for determining the alignment angle between the diagnostic image and the surgical image.
Abstract:
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. Tire 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.
