Embodiment Construction

[0369] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, the present invention will be described in detail. This invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments discussed herein.

[0370] figure 1 A handheld eye imaging device 100 according to various embodiments is schematically shown. For example, the eye imaging device 100 may comprise a housing comprising a cylindrical portion 111 and a cuboidal portion 112 . The cuboidal portion 112 may be mounted on top of the cylindrical portion 111 in some embodiments. The cylindrical portion 111 may have a tapered front end portion 116 which may be brought closer to the patient's eye during the examination. In some embodiments, the length of the cylindrical portion 111 may be between about 50 mm and 200 mm, and the diameter may be between about 20 mm and 80 mm. The cylindrical portion 111 may have a front portion 116 and a rear portion 118 . In some embodiments, the ...

Abstract

Various embodiments of an eye imaging apparatus are disclosed. In some embodiments, the eye imaging apparatus may comprise a light source, an image sensor, a hand-held computing device, and an adaptation module. The adaptation module comprises a microcontroller and a signal processing unit configured to adapt the hand-held computing device to control the light source and the image sensor. In some embodiments, the imaging apparatus may comprise an exterior imaging module to image an anterior segment of the eye and / or a front imaging module to image a posterior segment of the eye. The eye imaging apparatus may be used in an eye imaging medical system. The images of the eye may be captured by the eye imaging apparatus, transferred to an image computing module, stored in an image storage module, and displayed in an image review module.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to ocular imaging devices and systems, eg, hand-held ocular imaging devices and related systems. Background technique [0002] Eye imaging systems are becoming more important in eye exams. Early diagnosis of eye disease is often important for effective treatment and prevention of vision loss. In general, a comprehensive eye examination should include examination of the anterior segment of the eye (such as the cornea), examination of the posterior segment of the eye (such as the retina), and visual function tests. [0003] Traditionally, slit-lamp imaging systems have been used to examine the cornea. However, slit lamp imaging systems may lack mobility, making it difficult for medical personnel to move the equipment within a hospital and / or over long distances. For example, a cart carrying a slit lamp imaging system can be relatively heavy and difficult to move. A computer or console, and other s...
