Abstract
A Slit-lamp-or-Microscope-Integrated-OCT-Refractometer system includes an eye-visualization system, configured to provide a visual image of an imaged region in an eye; an Optical Coherence Tomographic (OCT) imaging system, configured to generate an OCT image of the imaged region; a refractometer, configured to generate a refractive mapping of the imaged region; and an analyzer, configured to determine refractive characteristics of the eye based on the OCT image and the refractive mapping, wherein the refractometer and the OCT imaging system are integrated into the eye visualization system.
Claims25
A Slit-lamp-or-Microscope-Integrated-OCT-Refractometer system comprising:
- an eye-visualization system, configured to provide a visual image of an imaged region in an eye;
- an Optical Coherence Tomographic (OCT) imaging system, configured to generate OCT image data of the imaged region;
- a refractometer, configured to generate refractive mapping data of the imaged region;
- and
- an analyzer comprising memory and a processor configured to:
- receive the OCT image data from the OCT imaging system;
- receive the refractive mapping data from the refractometer;
- register the OCT image data and the refractive mapping data;
- combine the OCT image data and refractive mapping data;
- and
- execute optical ray tracing software to determine refractive characteristics of the eye based on the combined OCT image data and refractive mapping data;
- wherein the refractometer and the OCT imaging system are integrated with the eye visualization system.
