  • Patent number: 12144548
    Abstract: A combined intraocular pressure (IOP) measuring and eye medication dispensing device may include a first micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) sensor to generate IOP measurements of a living organism's eye; a medication dispensing device to dispense medication into the living organism's eye; a second MEMS micro-dispenser to interface with the medication dispensing device and to control the dispensing of the medication into the living organism's eye; and an analog-to-digital (A-to-D) converter to receive control signals. The A-to-D converter may communicate the control signals to the first MEMS sensor or the second MEMS micro-dispenser; receive the generated IOP measurements from the first MEMS sensor; receive medication dispensing parameters from the second MEMS micro-dispenser or medication dispensing device, and communicate the generated IOP measurements or the medication dispensing parameters.

  • Patent number: 11890054
    Abstract: A mobile communication device-based corneal topography system includes an illumination system, a mobile communication device and a corneal topography optical housing. The illumination system is configured to generate an illumination pattern and to generate reflections of the illumination pattern off a cornea of a subject, wherein the illumination system is aligned along an axis of centers of the illumination pattern. The mobile communication device includes an image sensor to capture an image of the reflected illumination pattern. The corneal topography optical housing is coupled to the illumination system and the mobile communication device, wherein the corneal topography optical housing supports and aligns the illumination system with the image sensor of the mobile communication device. The corneal topography optical housing includes an imaging system coupled to the image sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230165458
    Abstract: A method to perform automatic corneal topography or tomography difference mapping includes receiving one or more corneal topography or tomography data files and/or a corneal image for an examined patient from a corneal topography or tomography system; receiving personal identification parameters from captured user personal data communicated from the corneal topography or tomography system; and comparing received patient identification parameters to existing patient identification parameters in a database to identify if there are existing topography or tomography data files for a same patient in the database. The method may further include retrieving a prior topography or tomography data file for the patient from the database; and performing difference mapping by comparing the received topography or tomography data files to the prior topography or tomography data file retrieved from the database to generate a topography or tomography difference map.
