MULTI-ELEMENT PRESCRIPTION LENSES WITH EYE-TRACKING
The disclosed embodiments are generally directed to optical systems. The optical systems may include a proximal lens that may transmit light toward an eye of a user. The optical systems may also include a distal lens that may, in combination with the proximal lens, correct for at least a portion of a refractive error of the eye of the user. The optical systems may further include a selective transmission interface. The selective transmission interface may couple the proximal lens to the distal lens, transmits light having a selected property, and does not transmit light that does not have the selected property. The optical system can also include an accommodative lens, such as a liquid lens. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
PREFERENTIAL VISUAL ACUITY TEST CABIN
A booth, for using the Teller technique to quantify visual acuity, irrespective of a patient's verbal ability booth comprises a modular structure, making up an isolated environment for the patient to perform the acuity test through the reading of Teller cards. The patient is accommodated in a visualization area at the central portion of a movable wall sliding via wheels on rails installed on the ground and ceiling by profiles. The modular structure presents a white and opaque tone, as well as its own lighting which is controlled and proper according to the test, in front of a movable wall and coplanar to a rear wall of booth. The movable wall sliding effects the distance adjustment between the patient and the visualization area cards where the minimum distance is equivalent 38 centimeters and the maximum distance is 55 or 84 centimeters as accuracy dictates, according to the patient's features.
Nanovoided electroactive polymer devices, systems, and methods
An electroactive device may include (1) an electroactive polymer element having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the electroactive polymer element comprising a nanovoided polymer material, (2) a primary electrode abutting the first surface of the electroactive polymer element, and (3) a secondary electrode abutting the second surface of the electroactive polymer element. The electroactive polymer element may be deformable from an initial state to a deformed state by application of an electrostatic field produced by a potential difference between the primary electrode and the secondary electrode. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
Device, method and computer program for producing two point light sources of the same wavelength on a pupil plane of an eye and for determining a neural transfer function of a visual pathway
A device, a method, and a computer program for producing two point light sources of the same wavelength on a pupil plane of an eye of a user are disclosed, as well as a device, a method, and a computer program for determining a neural transfer function of the visual pathway of the user. The device for determining the neural transfer function includes a coherent light source for generating a light beam; an optical device for separating the light beam into sub-light beams, superpositioning the respective sub-light beams, and adjusting contrast and spatial phase in an interference pattern; and a beam path for guiding the superposed sub-light beams such that two point light sources of the same wavelength are produced. The devices are compact and robust, allow a variable presentation of different interference patterns, and can thus be easily operated in a commercial product in a clinical setting.
Vision testing via prediction-based setting of an initial stimuli characteristic for user interface locations
In some embodiments, initial feedback indicating threshold characteristics (under which a user sees initial stimuli presented on a user interface) may be provided to a prediction model, and a set of predicted characteristics (for a set of locations of the user interface) and a set of confidence scores associated with the set of locations may be obtained via the prediction model. Based on the set of confidence scores, one or more locations may be selected to be tested during a visual test presentation. As an example, the locations may be selected over one or more other locations of the set of locations based on the set of confidence scores. Based on predicted characteristics associated with the selected locations, stimuli may be presented at the selected locations during the visual test presentation. Visual defect information for the user may be generated based on feedback from the visual test presentation.

Determination of chromatic iso-luminance information for controlling a computer process in a personalised manner
A method for generating an indicator or biomarker of colour perception in a mammalian subject, where the method may include submitting the mammalian subject to a multicoloured dynamic stimulus comprising displaying, on a display device. The method may include controlling a change over time of at least one of the two colours of the multicolour pattern when displaying the dynamic multicolour stimulus, to vary the displayed luminance of this colour (usually several times). The method may include acquiring, by using an image acquisition device, an oscillatory response of a pupil of the mammalian subject. The method may include generating, from the acquired response, a signal representative of the power of the pupil's oscillatory response as a function of the change over time of at least one of the two colours when displaying the dynamic multicoloured stimulus.

IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS, IMAGE GENERATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
A contrast sensitivity measurement apparatus (1) generates a stimulating image to be output to an external display device (20) for measuring contrast sensitivity of a user. An image scale setting unit (12) determines the spatial frequency in units of pixels on the basis of an observation distance, physical characteristics of the external display device (20), and visual characteristics of a human. A carrier waveform generation unit (13) generates a luminance map in which a change of luminance along a first axis follows the spatial frequency. A contrast map generation unit (14) generates a contrast map in which contrast gradually decreases from one end to another end along a second axis, and an equal contrast line forms a given waveform. A stimulating image synthesis unit (15) generates the stimulating image by synthesizing the luminance map and the contrast map.
