Volumetric depth imaging for lens fit

A volumetric depth image is captured. The volumetric depth image includes a front surface of a prescription lens, a back surface of the prescription lens, and a cornea of an eye of a wearer of the prescription lens. Lens-to-eye data is determined from the volumetric depth image. The lens-to-eye data includes measurements of the prescription lens with respect to the eye. A three-dimensional (3D) optical-mechanical fit profile is generated or the wearer based on the lens-to-eye data.

System and method for eyewear sizing

Provided is a process for generating specifications for lenses of eyewear based on locations of extents of the eyewear determined through a pupil location determination process. Some embodiments capture an image and determine, using computer vision image recognition functionality, the pupil locations of a human's eyes based on the captured image depicting the human wearing eyewear.

IMAGE ALIGNMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Examples described herein include methods and systems for adjusting images which may be captured, for example, by a wearable camera. The wearable camera may be devoid of a viewfinder. Accordingly, it may be desirable to adjust images captured by the wearable camera prior to display to a user. Image adjustment techniques may employ physical wedges, calibration techniques, and/or machine learning techniques as described herein.

20230194893 · 2023-06-22 ·

A spectacle lens for at least one eye of a user, a method for producing a spectacle lens, and a computer program product having executable instructions for performing the method for producing the spectacle lens are disclosed. The spectacle lens has a permanent marking which is or contains a diffractive structure, wherein a diffractive pattern generated by illumination of the diffractive structure is configured to be invisible upon a first kind of illumination and configured to be visible only upon a second kind of illumination. The permanent markings on the spectacle lens are, on one hand, invisible to the user or to a spectator looking at the user wearing the spectacle lens without utilizing specially selected optical aids but, on the other hand, enables continued control of the spectacle lens in front of the eye of the user by an optician or a specifically designated optical sensor.

METHOD FOR OPTICAL DESIGN OF A PAIR OF OPHTHALMIC LENSES AND PAIR OF OPHTHALMIC LENSES THUS OBTAINED

Disclosed is a method for optical design of a pair of ophthalmic lenses for correcting spherical and cylindrical refractive errors of the eyes of a wearer, including a step of defining the need for spherical and cylindrical correction of the wearer for various viewing distances, and a step of determining the spherical and cylindrical power of the ophthalmic lenses at viewing points with various proximities, in accordance with the correction needs of the wearer. The power of at least one of the two ophthalmic lenses is determined such as to limit the deviation obtained therebetween upon adding equivalent spherical power between the viewing points with various proximities and/or varying the cylindrical power vector between the viewing points with various proximities. Also disclosed is a pair of ophthalmic lenses designed according to such a method.
