METHOD FOR MEASURING A TEAR MENISCUS
A method for measuring a tear meniscus including: instilling fluorescein on the surface of a patient's eye to be examined, illuminating the eye to be examined with blue light and capturing an image of the eye to be examined, the image including non-fluorescent blue zones in the absence of fluorescein and fluorescent green zones in the presence of fluorescein, and in which the image analysis includes: identifying the tear meniscus and measuring its height in pixels, identifying the iris and measuring its outer diameter in pixels, calculating a ratio between an estimated or also measured physical diameter of the iris and its measurement in pixels and calculating the physical height of the tear meniscus based on this ratio.

Shape discrimination vision assessment and tracking system
A method to self-test vision of a user for use with a handheld vision tester includes receiving image data of the user's face, determining dimensions of the user's face based on the received image data, computing a user viewing distance based on the determined dimensions, displaying a vision test based on the computed user viewing distance, receiving user input responses to the vision test, and outputting results of the vision test from the user input responses.
COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR DETERMINING A POSITION OF A CENTER OF ROTATION OF AN EYE USING A MOBILE DEVICE, MOBILE DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
Computer implemented methods for mobile device, mobile devices and computer programs are utilized for determining the center of rotation of the eye. An image of an eye of a person is captured in at least two positions of the mobile device, and the position of the center of rotation is determined based on the images and the position. In a similar manner, optionally a pupil position may be determined.
COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHODS AND DEVICES FOR DETERMINING DIMENSIONS AND DISTANCES OF HEAD FEATURES
Computer implemented methods and devices for determining dimensions or distances of head features are provided. The method includes identifying a plurality of features in an image of a head of a person. A real dimension of at least one target feature of the plurality of features or a real distance between at least one target feature of the plurality features and a camera device used for capturing the image is estimated based on probability distributions for real dimensions of at least one feature of the plurality of features and a pixel dimension of the at least one feature of the plurality of features.
Visual performance examination device, visual performance examination method, and computer program
A visual performance examination device includes a display control unit that displays an indicator at each of a plurality of positions in a display screen of a display device; an image data obtaining unit that obtains an image data of eyes of a test subject, which are irradiated with a detection light emitted from a light source; a position calculating unit that, based on the image data, calculates a position data of corneal reflexes of the eyes when each of a plurality of indicators displayed at the positions in the display screen is shown; and an evaluating unit that, based on relative positions of the indicators and relative positions of the corneal reflexes, outputs evaluation data about visual performance of the test subject.
Contact lens and eyewear frame design using physical landmarks placed on the eye
A method comprises: disposing a physical landmark upon an eye of a user; capturing at least one image of the eye of the user with an image sensor while the eye is illuminated, wherein the image includes an image of the physical landmark and at least one other point on the surface of the eye outside of the cornea; processing the at least one image to obtain at least one metric of the eye of the user; and determining, based on the at least one metric, at least one parameter of a daily use contact lens to be worn on the eye of the user.
