1. A wearable augmented reality device comprising:
- an augmented reality head-mounted ophthalmic system comprising;
an augmented reality display platform comprising a display configured for forming an image viewable by the wearer, the display comprising a plurality of waveguides configured to pass light from the world into an eye of a wearer wearing the head-mounted system, wherein each waveguide comprises;
in-coupling diffractive optical elements configured to in-couple light into the waveguide; and
out-coupling diffractive optical elements configured to out-couple light propagating within the waveguide,wherein out-coupling diffractive optical elements of some waveguides of the plurality of waveguides are configured to output light with different wavefront divergence than other waveguides of the plurality of waveguides;
a camera configured to image the eye and detect vision abnormalities;
an ultrasound transmitter configured to deliver ultrasound to the user'"'"'s eye; and
an ultrasound receiver configured to receive sound reflected from the user'"'"'s eye to create an ultrasound image,wherein the augmented reality head-mounted ophthalmic system is configured to conduct an ultrasound examination after detecting vision abnormalities in the wearer.

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.
