Patent number: 11633095Abstract: A device for illuminating a posterior segment of an eye may include multiple channels. Each of the channels may include multiple illumination paths such as a first region illumination path, and a second region illumination path. The first region illumination path and the second region illumination path may be illuminated at different times such that a first region and a second region may be imaged without interference from a non-illuminated illumination path.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: OPTOS PLCInventors: Benjamin A.

Publication number: 20230072066Abstract: A method may include illuminating a region of a choroid of an eye of a patient with off-axis illumination from a first imaging channel, the first imaging channel being off-axis with respect to an axis of a focus of the eye. The method may also include capturing an image of the choroid, where the off-axis illumination from the first imaging channel is off-set within the first imaging channel from the image sensor. A second off-axis illumination from a second imaging channel that is off-axis from both the first imaging channel and the off-axis illumination may illuminate the same or a different region of the choroid. The captured image of the choroid may be provided to a machine learning system. Indices associated with the image to may be identified based on an output of the machine learning system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2020Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: OPTOS PLCInventors: Tushar M. Ranchod, Clark Pentico, Andre E. Adams, Jacobson A. Benjamin

Patent number: 10736506Abstract: An imaging device may include first and second optical channels, where each of the first and second optical channels include a discrete optical imaging pathway. The first and second optical channels may be aimed at different angles relative to each other, and each may be directed towards corresponding partially overlapping zones of an object for imaging. Each of the optical channels may include an illuminating source configured to be turned on or off, where illumination from the illuminating sources follow respective illumination paths to the object. Each of the optical channels may additionally include lenses shared by both the respective optical imaging pathways and the respective illumination paths, and each may include an image sensor. The imaging device may also include a computing device configured to turn on the illuminating source of the first optical channel while capturing an image using the image sensor of the second optical channel.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: BROADSPOT IMAGING CORPInventors: Tushar M.
