59 results about "Eye measurements" patented technology

Eye measurements taken on a patient being fitted for contact lens will include a refraction test and an additional measurement representing corneal depth variation on the surface of an imaginary cylinder having the same diameter as the lens. This information then used during lens manufacture to produce lens in which the perimeter is not circular and does not lie in a plane, but which drops backwards towards the eye at appropriate points to produce a saddle-shaped perimeter.

Featured is a wireless scleral search coil that includes one or more passive, resonant coils and in a particular embodiment two orthogonal, passive, resonant coils, where each coil resonates at a different frequency. Each resonant coil includes a coil-capacitor circuit, each circuit being configured to resonant at a different frequency. Such a wireless scleral search coil is disposed within a biocompatible material that is shaped to conform and rest upon the eye of a subject. Also featured are system including such a wireless scleral search coil, one or more transmitter coils, an assembly of one or more receiver coils and a calculating sub-system for processing signal data to obtain eye measurement information.

In described embodiments, a communication system employing, for example, clock and data recovery (CDR) detects and applies correction for DC offset in an input data stream signal, termed as “DC offset calibration”. DC offset calibration applies static calibration for DC offset in input circuits, such as an input amplifier and detection latches, without input data, and applies statistical calibration for DC offset during operation with an input data stream to correct for dynamic shifts in DC level. Such DC offset calibration employs data eye measurements of the input data stream for detection of DC offset, and applies an opposite DC offset to maintain a relatively balanced data eye during live traffic.

An imaging method according to some embodiments of the present invention includes obtaining working distance information from an optical coherence tomography system, the working distance being the working distance to the sample; obtaining information from one or more ocular systems; combining the information from said optical coherence tomography information and said ocular system; and displaying said combined information.

Methods and systems are described for sequentially obtaining a plurality of data streams, the plurality of data streams comprising a data stream in a current condition, a data stream in a skewed-forward condition, and a data stream in a skewed-backward condition, calculating, for each data stream in the plurality of data streams, a corresponding set of cost-function values by obtaining a corresponding set of eye measurements, the eye measurements obtained by adjusting a sampling threshold of a sampler generating a plurality of samples of the data stream, the plurality of samples comprising edge samples and data samples, wherein the data stream is sampled at a rate equal to twice a rate of the data stream and calculating the corresponding set of cost-function values based on the corresponding set of eye measurements, and generating a skew control signal based on a comparison of the sets of calculated cost-function values.

Improved devices, systems, and methods for planning cataract surgery on an eye of a patient incorporate results of prior corrective surgeries into a planned cataract surgery of a particular patient by driving an effective surgery vector function based on data from the prior corrective surgeries. The exemplary effective surgery vector employs an influence matrix which may allow improved refractive corrections to be generated so as to increase the overall efficacy of a cataract surgery by specifying one or more parameters of an intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted during the cataract surgery.

Disclosed is a method of designing a soft contact lens, the method comprising the steps of: (a) measuring or defining a wavefront generated by passage of light through a selected eye and using the wavefront to generate a computer model of the optical characteristics of the selected eye; (b) measuring or defining the topography of the cornea of the selected eye; (c) incorporating into the computer model a soft contact lens, the posterior surface topography of which is defined by the topography of the cornea, offset by an arbitrary amount intended to represent the tear layer thickness of the selected eye, said lens having a defined thickness at a selected locus on the anterior surface; (d) calculating a desired topography for the anterior surface of the lens such that the wavefront will be corrected to assume a desired pattern (for example, preferably planar, the plane of which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens) when passing through the computer model eye / lens combination; (e) remodeling the lens off-eye by adapting the posterior topography of the lens to a desired posterior topography to be manufactured; and (f) recalculating a modified anterior topography required as a result of adapting the posterior topography, the modified anterior topography being intended to preserve the desired wavefront pattern defined in (d) when the lens is in situ on the selected eye.
