  • Patent number: 10389989
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, enhancement of a vision of a user may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a visual test presentation including a set of stimuli may be provided to a user. Feedback related to the set of stimuli may be obtained during the visual test presentation. The feedback may be provided to a prediction model, and the prediction model may be configured based on the feedback. Subsequent to the configuring of the prediction model, live video stream data, eye characteristic information, or other information may be provided to the prediction model to obtain a set of modification parameters. An enhanced image may be generated and displayed to the user based on the live video stream and the set of modification parameters.

  • Patent number: 10368735
    Abstract: Techniques for improved diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of corneal pathologies use enhanced mapping of the cornea or corneal regions, to develop three-dimensional mapping of corneal thickness, while retaining particular corneal micro-layer thickness data. Anterior and posterior surface identifications, along with surface apex determinations, are used for registration of segmentation of these micro-layers. 3D heat maps and bull's-eye maps are generated from resulting thickness date. The maps provided enhanced evaluation and diagnosis of a corneal pathologies, such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, post-refractive surgery ectasia, keratoglobus, corneal transplant rejection and corneal transplant failed grafts, Fuchs dystrophy, corneal limbal stem cell deficiency, dry eye syndrome, and post-corneal collagen crosslinking evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20190223716
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, live image data modifications may be facilitated for dynamic vision defects. In some embodiments, one or more eyes of a user may be monitored while a set of stimuli are displayed to the user. Feedback related to the set of stimuli may be obtained, where the feedback indicates (i) whether or how the user sees one or more stimuli of the set and (ii) one or more characteristics related to the eyes that occurred when such stimuli are displayed. A set of modification profiles associated with the user may be generated based on the feedback, where each modification profile of the set (i) is associated with eye-related characteristics and (ii) includes modification parameters to be applied to an image to modify the image for the user when eye-related characteristics of the user matches the associated eye-related characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20190227327
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, enhancement of a field of view of a user may be facilitated via one or more dynamic display portions. In some embodiments, one or more changes related to one or more eyes of a user may be monitored. Based on the monitoring, one or more positions of one or more transparent display portions of a screen of wearable device may be adjusted, where the transparent display portions enable the user to see through the screen of the wearable device. A live video stream representing an environment of the user may be obtained via the wearable device. An enhanced video stream derived from the live video stream may be displayed on one or more other display portions of the screen of the wearable device.

  • Publication number: 20190209006
    Abstract: In some embodiments, images of a cornea may be obtained, and the images of the cornea may be segmented to detect a tear film layer of the cornea and an epithelium layer of the cornea. Thickness of the tear film layer and thickness of the epithelium layer may be determined based on the segmentation of the images of the cornea. A thickness map may be generated based on the thickness of the tear film layer and the thickness of the epithelium layer. As an example, the thickness map may comprise visual differences in thickness across the tear film layer and the epithelium layer. In some embodiments, the foregoing may be performed with respect to one or more other microlayers of the cornea in addition to or alternatively to the tear film layer or the epithelium layer.

  • Publication number: 20190094552
    Abstract: Devices for testing, identifying, and compensating for ocular pathologies affecting the vision of a patient are provided in the form of digital therapeutic corrective spectacles that provided personalized, customized visual field corrected/enhancement. The devices include wearable spectacles with one or more digital monitors that are used to recreate an entire visual field as a digitized corrected image or that include custom-reality glasses that can be used to overlay a visual scene with generated image to correct or enhance the visual field of the subject.
