Publication number: 20100118270Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed that provides a means for mounting a separate optical element, such as a gonio lens, to a hand-held eye imaging device. In this way, the doctor only needs to use one hand to hold the imaging apparatus while the other hand can be freed to open the patient eye lid and also maintain a safe relative distance of the gonio lens with respect to the patient's eye. The gonio lens and adaptor can each or both be made disposable and also mechanically switchable relative to each other as well as relative to the handheld eye imaging device so that different portions of the patient eye can be imaged sequentially without the need to rotate the hand held eye imaging device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2009Publication date: May 13, 2010Applicant: CLARITY MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: William Shea, Yeou-Yen Cheng, Shelly Reed, Willem Crone, Barry Linder, Phillip Baker, Yan Zhou

Publication number: 20100110379Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus for optimizing vision correction procedures comprising: a narrow beam of light directed to a patient's retina; a dynamic defocus and compensation offsetting device configured to offset the defocus of a wavefront from an eye, a wavefront sensor configured to measure the local tilt of a number of subwavefronts sampled around an annular ring (the diameter of which can be dynamically changed) over the wavefront with the defocus offset; and a display device configured to display a two dimensional (2D) data points pattern in real time with each data point location representing a corresponding local tilt of the sampled subwavefronts. A proper defocus offset, not passive compensation, can reveal the predominant feature(s) of other wavefront aberration component(s), thus enabling a refractive surgeon to fine tune the vision correction procedure and minimize the remaining wavefront aberration(s) in real time.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: CLARITY MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: YAN ZHOU, WILLIAM SHEA, BARRY LINDER, PHILLIP BAKER
