  • Publication number: 20250004303
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to contact lenses for the correcting a refractive error, particularly astigmatism, and other corneal irregularities. An exemplary lens comprises an inner portion, a peripheral portion, and a juncture therebetween. The inner portion provides optical correction for an eye. The peripheral portion conforms to a corneal surface of the eye. The juncture is a structurally flexible portion of the ophthalmic lens such that deformation of the peripheral portion in response to conforming to an astigmatism or higher order aberration of the corneal surface does not substantially deform the inner portion. When the lens is placed on the eye, the inner portion vaults over the corneal surface to form a lenticular volume. The optical correction is provided by a combination of the inner portion and the lenticular volume.

  • Patent number: 12137977
    Abstract: Ophthalmic imaging devices and related methods employ self-alignment of a user with an optical axis of the imaging device. An ophthalmic imaging device includes a retinal imaging assembly, a housing assembly, and a viewer assembly. The retinal imaging assembly has an optical axis. The retinal imaging assembly is attached to the housing. The housing assembly is configured to rest on a horizontal surface during operation of the retinal imaging assembly. The optical axis is oriented at an angle from the horizontal surface when the housing assembly rests on the horizontal surface. The viewer assembly is coupled with the housing assembly. The viewer assembly includes an interface surface shaped for engagement with each head of a plurality of different user's and to accommodate repositioning of the head to align a pupil of the user with the optical axis.

  • Patent number: 11986241
    Abstract: Retinal imaging systems and related methods employ a user specific approach for controlling the reference arm length in an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging device. A method includes generating a signal indicative of a position of a feature of a user's head relative to an OCT imaging device. A user specific reference arm adjustment length range for the user within a reference arm adjustment length range of the OCT device is determined based on the signal. A reference arm length adjustment module is controlled during an imaging of the retina to vary a reference arm length of the OCT imaging device within the user specific reference arm adjustment length range to identify an imaging reference arm length for which an OCT image detector of the OCT imaging device produces an OCT signal corresponding to the retina of the user.

  • Patent number: 11947196
    Abstract: Dynamic contact lenses fabricated with a dynamic portion that extends outward from the peripheral portion are disclosed. When worn on an eye the dynamic portion forms a tear lens for correcting vision. The dynamic portion can also be configured to provide a dynamic tear lens that changes optical power with forces applied by eyelids. The dynamic portion can be configured to assume a conforming configuration and at least one non-conforming configuration, or can be configured to assume at least two non-conforming configurations. The dynamic contact lenses can be used for correcting vision such as correcting presbyopia.
