Abstract
Configurations are disclosed for a health system to be used in various healthcare applications, e.g., for patient diagnostics, monitoring, and/or therapy. The health system may comprise a light generation module to transmit light or an image to a user, one or more sensors to detect a physiological parameter of the user's body, including their eyes, and processing circuitry to analyze an input received in response to the presented images to determine one or more health conditions or defects.
Claims19
A wearable augmented reality device comprising:
- an augmented reality head-mounted ophthalmic system comprising:
- a frame configured to be worn on the head of a wearer wearing the head-mounted ophthalmic system;
- one or more light sensors attached to the frame;
- an augmented reality display attached to the frame and comprising a light source, the display configured to:
- pass light from the world into an eye of the wearer;
- and
- output light from the light source into the eye of the wearer to form an image in the eye,
- wherein the wearable augmented reality device is configured to:
- detect an exposure amount of one or more wavelengths of light propagating towards the eye;
- and
- modify the exposure amount of the one or wavelengths of light reaching the eye based on the detected exposure amount.
A wearable augmented reality device comprising:
- an augmented reality head-mounted ophthalmic system comprising:
- a frame configured to be worn on the head of a wearer wearing the head-mounted ophthalmic system;
- one or more sensors attached to the frame, wherein the sensors are configured to determine an exposure of one or more spectral components of a light spectrum;
- an augmented reality display attached to the frame and comprising a light source, the display configured to:
- pass light from the world into an eye of the wearer;
- and
- output light from the light source into the eye of the wearer to form an image in the eye,
- wherein the wearable augmented reality device is configured to selectively administer light of the one or more spectral components of the light spectrum into the wearer's eyes at least partially based on the exposure of the one or more spectral components of light.
