1. A wearable augmented reality device comprising:
- an augmented reality head-mounted ophthalmic system comprising an augmented reality display platform configured to pass light from the world into an eye of a wearer wearing the head-mounted ophthalmic system;
a light source configured to provide augmented reality content on a plurality of depth planes and to project an illumination beam of light into the eye of the wearer to illuminate an anterior or posterior portion of the eye, a cross-sectional beam shape of the illumination beam configured such that a dimension of the cross-sectional beam shape along a superior-inferior direction of the eye is greater than a dimension of the cross-sectional beam shape along a nasal-temporal direction of the eye; and
an imaging system configured to track a gaze of the wearer'"'"'s eye and to capture an image of the illuminated portion of the wearer'"'"'s eye to perform a slit lamp examination to determine health of the eye.

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.

17. A wearable augmented reality device comprising:
-
an augmented reality head-mounted ophthalmic system comprising an augmented reality display platform configured to pass light from the world into an eye of a wearer wearing the head-mounted ophthalmic system; a scanning fiber device configured to project light into the eye of the wearer to illuminate the eye to perform a slit lamp examination of the eye, wherein the scanning fiber device comprises an actuator and a scanning fiber having a tip for outputting light, wherein the actuator is configured to move the tip in a pattern to project an illumination beam into the eye; and a camera configured to capture an image of the illuminated portion of the wearer'"'"'s eye to determine a health of the eye. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A wearable augmented reality device configured to be used by a wearer, the device comprising:
-
an augmented reality head-mounted ophthalmic system comprising an augmented reality display platform configured to pass light from the world into an eye of a wearer wearing the head-mounted system, wherein the augmented reality display platform comprises a light source configured to provide augmented reality content into the eye of the wearer, wherein the light source is also configured to project a sheet of light into the eye of the wearer to illuminate an anterior or posterior portion of the eye for a slit lamp examination; and a camera configured to capture an image of the illuminated portion of the wearer'"'"'s eye to perform the slit lamp examination to determine a health of the eye. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
