    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of searching for a region indicative of a pathology in an image of a portion of an eye acquired by an ocular imaging system, the method comprising: receiving image data defining the image; searching for the region in the image by processing the received image data using a learning algorithm; and in case a region in the image that is indicative of the pathology is found: determining a location of the region in the image; generating an instruction for an eye measurement apparatus to perform a measurement on the portion of the eye to generate measurement data, using a reference point based on the determined location for setting a location of the measurement on the portion of the eye; and receiving the measurement data from the eye measurement apparatus.

    Abstract: An optical assembly for optically coupling a light source and a photodetector to an optical system of an ophthalmic imaging apparatus, the optical assembly comprising: a housing through which a light beam from the light source propagates towards the optical system along an optical path, and light from an eye collected by the optical system propagates towards the photodetector along the optical path; an arm which extends into the housing and supports a reflective surface to reflect the light beam towards the optical system; and an adjustable mechanism attaching the arm to the housing and allowing the reflective surface to be adjusted by: rotation about a first axis passing through a point on the reflective surface and perpendicular to the optical path; rotation about a second axis passing through the point and perpendicular to the first axis and the optical path; and/or translation along the optical path.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a method of detecting clipping of retinal image content in an optical coherence tomography, OCT, image of a patient’s retina. The method comprises detecting a boundary of the retinal image content in the OCT image and calculating a distance between the boundary and an edge of the OCT image. The method further comprises determining if clipping of the retinal image content in the OCT image has occurred by comparing the calculated distance between the boundary and the edge of the OCT image with a clipping threshold distance. Clipping of the retinal image content is determined to have occurred when the calculated distance between the boundary and the edge of the OCT image is equal to, or less than, the clipping threshold distance.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to an ophthalmic imaging system for imaging a target on a posterior segment of a patient's eye, the imaging system comprising: a light source configured to emit a light beam for imaging the target; an imaging device for tracking a position of an anterior segment of the patient's eye; and a controller configured to determine a movement of the target in dependence on the tracked position of the anterior segment of the patient's eye; wherein the controller is further configured to adjust an angle of incidence of the light beam that contacts the posterior segment in dependence on the determined movement of the target.

    Abstract: An ophthalmic device includes a scanning member, an objective lens, and an optical element. The objective lens includes a first lens group and a second lens group in order from the scanning member side. The optical element is capable of being inserted into and removed from an optical path between the second lens group of the objective lens and the scanning member. In a case in which the optical element is not inserted into the optical path, the objective lens configures a first observation optical system. In a case in which the optical element has been inserted into the optical path, the objective lens and the optical element configure a second observation optical system.

    Abstract: A binocular OCT imaging system for simultaneously imaging regions of a first eye and second eye using an interferometer having a reference arm first sample arm and second sample arm, by: obtaining an electrical signal (S) having first frequency components spanning a first band and caused by interference between reference light in the reference arm with light reflected from the first eye in the first sample arm, and second frequency components spanning a second band and caused by interference between the reference light and light reflected from the second eye in the second sample arm; and generating OCT images of: the region of the first eye using first frequency components in a portion of the first band not overlapping the second band; and the region of the second eye using second frequency components in a portion of the second band not overlapping the first band.
