A vision testing device includes a light-occluding casing for administering vision tests. A viewing station is coupled to the light-occluding casing so a test subject can see a first digital display housed within the light-occluding casing. A second digital display is external to the light-occluding casing and is configured to receive touch-based input. One or more predetermined vision tests are displayed via the first digital display. The second digital display receives input corresponding to the vision test displayed via the first digital display. The second digital display includes response indicators that can be activated via a swiping motion on the second digital display, and a response is recorded as a result of the swiping motion. Each answer corresponding to a swiping motion is stored and output as a result of the vision test.

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.

One embodiment is directed to a system comprising a head-mounted member removably coupleable to the user's head; one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters coupled to the head-mounted member and configured to emit light with at least two different wavelengths toward at least one of the eyes of the user; one or more electromagnetic radiation detectors coupled to the head-mounted member and configured to receive light reflected after encountering at least one blood vessel of the eye; and a controller operatively coupled to the one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters and detectors and configured to cause the one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters to emit pulses of light while also causing the one or more electromagnetic radiation detectors to detect levels of light absorption related to the emitted pulses of light, and to produce an output that is proportional to an oxygen saturation level in the blood vessel.

An apparatus, and corresponding method, for determining a refractive property of an eye includes a housing with a port configured to receive an eye and also light from the eye. A tunable lens can be mounted to the housing to apply a variable focal power to the light from the eye and to pass the light along an optical path toward a wavefront sensor within the housing. The wavefront sensor can receive the light via the optical path and measure a wavefront thereof. A determination module can be configured to determine a property of the eye based on the wavefront. Embodiments can be handheld, portable, and open view, while providing objective wavefront aberrometry, subjective phoroptry, and accommodation and presbyoptic evaluation, as well as lensometry functions.

A device and computer program for determining the spherocylindrical refraction of an eye are disclosed. A component having adjustable optics is provided, the refractive power of which can be adjusted via a refractive power adjustment device. The spherocylindrical refraction is then determined from the adjustment of the refractive power adjustment device at different orientations of a typical direction of the optics or a typical direction of eye test characters.

A system for administering a subjective refraction comprising a phoropter, a display, and a computing device configured to generate a first set of conditions for a first test; receive a first input indicative of the patient's vision under the first set of conditions; automatically display, based on the first input, an updated first visual reference; iteratively update, based on the first input, a second combination of the plurality of lenses and receive feedback from the patient until a predefined number of responses are received to determine an endpoint for the first test; automatically generate and display a second set of conditions for a second test and a second plurality of response fields; receive an updated input indicative of the patient's vision under the second set of conditions; and determine an endpoint for the second test based on a determined a visual acuity matching a predefined visual acuity value.

A method of performing an optometric examination of a patient includes positioning the patient behind a phoropter; presenting visual stimuli to the patient using a computer-controlled device; recording the patient's response to the stimuli; automatically adjusting the settings of the phoropter to improve one or more characteristics of the patient's vision; and automatically determining the prescription for the refractive error correction for the patient.

One embodiment is directed to a system comprising a head-mounted member removably coupleable to the user's head; one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters coupled to the head-mounted member and configured to emit light with at least two different wavelengths toward at least one of the eyes of the user; one or more electromagnetic radiation detectors coupled to the head-mounted member and configured to receive light reflected after encountering at least one blood vessel of the eye; and a controller operatively coupled to the one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters and detectors and configured to cause the one or more electromagnetic radiation emitters to emit pulses of light while also causing the one or more electromagnetic radiation detectors to detect levels of light absorption related to the emitted pulses of light, and to produce an output that is proportional to an oxygen saturation level in the blood vessel.

An ophthalmic technician is present with a patient in an exam room to operate eye examination equipment and transmit patient information to remote location. At that remote location, a skilled technician is present to provide the necessary optical care, and may operate the phoropter from the remote location. Using video and/or teleconferencing equipment and a phoropter located in the patient examination room along with management software, the system works to determine the final optical prescription for the patient. That information, coupled with findings from other devices which are integrated with the management software, and that the patient uses locally, are reviewed by a remote-based optometrist or ophthalmologist.

This is a system and method for determining a patient's prescription for corrective lenses using predictive calculations and corrected-eyesight simulation. Together, these technologies act as a digital substitute for phoropter testing, thus reducing the cost, time, and human error associated with an eye exam. Based on age, gender, autorefractor readings, and environmental factors, a patient specific model is calculated and fed into a visual simulation tool. From this simulation, an eye care professional is able to determine the patient's corrective lens prescription.
