  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING CORNEAL TISSUE HEALTH
    Publication number: 20230101480
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for monitoring health of corneal tissue are disclosed. The system includes a corneal measurement device configured to measure a first state of health indicator that is tissue thickness or volume of a region of the corneal tissue during a first period of time and a second state of health indicator that is tissue thickness or volume of the region during a second period of time after the first period of time. The system further includes a processing unit configured to receive the first and second state of health indicators from the corneal measurement device and generate a health map of the region based on the first and second state of health indicators, the health map indicative of a change between the first and second state of health indicators as measured from the first period of time to the second period of time in the region of the cornea.

    Publication number: 20230086902
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for monitoring health of corneal tissue are disclosed. The system includes a corneal measurement device configured to measure a first state of health indicator that is tissue opacity or density of a region of the corneal tissue during a first period of time and a second state of health indicator that is tissue opacity or density of the region during a second period of time after the first period of time. The system further includes a processing unit configured to receive the first and second state of health indicators from the corneal measurement device and generate a health map of the region based on the first and second state of health indicators, the health map indicative of a change between the first and second state of health indicators as measured from the first period of time to the second period of time in the region of the cornea.
