Optical coherence tomography-based ophthalmic testing methods, devices and systems

摘要

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an optical coherence tomography-based ophthalmic testing center system includes an optical coherence tomography instrument comprising an eyepiece for receiving at least one eye of a user or subject; a light source that outputs light that is directed through the eyepiece into the user's or subject's eye, an interferometer configured to produce optical interference using light reflected from the user's/subject's eye, an optical detector disposed so as to detect said optical interference; and a processing unit coupled to the detector. The ophthalmic testing center system can be configured to perform a multitude of self-administered functional and/or structural ophthalmic tests and output the test data

主权项

1. An optical coherence tomography-based system comprising:
an optical coherence tomography device comprising a first ocular that defines a first optical axis, the optical coherence tomography device configured to:
obtain an image of a first anterior region of at least one eye of a user, the at least one eye of the user defining a second optical axis;based at least in part on the image of the first anterior region of the at least one eye of the user, automatically adjust a position of the first ocular such that the first optical axis and the second optical axis are substantially in alignment; andafter automatically adjusting the position of the first optical axis, obtain an optical coherence tomography scan of the first anterior region of the at least one eye of the user and at least one of a second intermediate or posterior eye region of the at least one eye of the user; a computing system configured to analyze the optical coherence tomography scan or to generate an optical coherence tomography-based image based on the optical coherence tomography scan; and an output device configured to output a report based on the analysis of the optical coherence tomography scan or the optical coherence tomography-based image.
