SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NONINVASIVE ANALYSIS OF RETINAL HEALTH AND FUNCTION
First Claim
1. A method for noninvasive analysis of a retina, comprising:
- exposing the retina to one or more first sets of at least three illumination light signals generated by one or more light sources, the at least three illumination light signals each having a different wavelength;
optically collecting a reflected light signal for each of the at least three illumination light signals of the one or more first sets, each of the reflected light signals being a portion of the respective illumination light signal reflected by the retina;
detecting, via a light detector, the reflected light signals of the one or more first sets as a function of intensity;
determining, via one or more processors, a first opsin density using the detected intensity of each of the reflected light signals of the one or more first sets.

Abstract
A method for noninvasive analysis of a retina includes exposing the retina to one or more first sets of at least three illumination light signals. The at least three illumination light signals each have a different wavelength. The method also includes optically collecting a reflected light signal for each of the at least three illumination light signals of the one or more first sets. Each of the reflected light signals is a portion of the respective illumination light signal reflected by the retina. The method further includes detecting the reflected light signals of the one or more first sets as a function of intensity. The method still further includes determining a first opsin density using the detected intensity of each of the reflected light signals of the one or more first sets.

17. A system for noninvasive analysis of a retina, comprising:
-
one or more light sources configured to generate at least three illumination light signals, each of the at least three illumination light signals having a different wavelength; one or more optical components configured to direct the at least three illumination light signals from the one or more light sources to one or more spatial points on the retina; an light detector, the one or more optical components further being configured to direct a plurality of reflected light signals from the retina to the light detector, the light detector being configured to receive the reflected light signals as a function of intensity; one or more processors; and one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to; generate, via the one or more light sources, a first set of the at least three illumination light signals, detect, via the light detector, the reflected light signals in response to the generation of the first set of the at least three illumination signals, and determine a first opsin density using the detected intensity of the reflected light signals. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
