Patent number: 8109634Abstract: Obtaining spectral images of an eye includes taking an optical system that images eye tissue onto a digital sensor array and optically fitting a multi-spectral filter array and the digital sensor array, wherein the multi-spectral filter array is disposed between the digital sensor array and an optics portion of the optical system. The resulting system facilitates acquisition of a snap-shot image of the eye tissue with the digital sensor array. The snap shot images support estimation of blood oxygen saturation in a retinal tissue. The resulting system can be based on a non-mydriatic fundus camera designed to obtain the retinal images without administration of pupil dilation drops.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2009Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Inventor: Tamir Gil

Publication number: 20070159600Abstract: A method and apparatus for illuminating the interior of the eye through the sclera without any contact to the eye. The apparatus contains a lamp element and optics that focus the light on the eye sclera. One or more fiber optics bundles may be used to convey the light from the light source close to the illuminated eye, ending with condensing optical elements. Alternatively, light could be conveyed by sharing the optics of an imaging system. It is useful for observing or imaging the interior of the eye, the retina, or the choroid. The observation or the imaging of the interior of the eye, the retina, or the choroid by applying the disclosed illumination method can be done in conjunction with any system that includes optics for that purpose, e.g., fundus cameras and ophthalmoscopes, without using those systems' illumination elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2004Publication date: July 12, 2007Applicant: MEDIBELL MEDICAL VISION TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Tamir Gil, Oded Wigderson, Amit Sasson, Zvi Nizani

Publication number: 20060268231Abstract: An illumination system for fundus imaging apparatus employing transcleral illumination of the interior of the eye. Color images of the interior of the eye are obtained by illuminating the sclera successively with red, yellow and green light. Those images are then treated as red, green and blue images by a post processing unit, which combines them to give a color image. This is useful for observing or imaging the interior of the eye, the retina, or the choroid. The observation or the imaging of the interior of the eye, the retina, or the choroid by applying the disclosed illumination method can be performed in conjunction with any system that includes optics for that purpose.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2004Publication date: November 30, 2006Applicant: Medibell Medicall Vision Technologies, Ltd.Inventors: Tamir Gil, Oded Wigderson, Amit Sasson, Dan Laor
