An ophthalmic lens includes a first region corresponding to a first area of an optical surface of the ophthalmic lens and a second region corresponding to a second area of the optical surface of the ophthalmic lens different from the first area The second region has an optically-switchable component switchable between a first optical state and a second optical state different from the first optical state. In the first optical state the second region partially scatters or defocuses light incident on the second area.

Disclosed are apparatus, systems, and methods for objectively assessing accommodation in an eye. For example, a method for objectively assessing accommodation can comprise displaying, at a far display, a stimulus target for a first duration and displaying, at a near display, the stimulus target for a second duration. The stimulus target displayed at the near display can be projected onto a first beam splitter positioned at an oblique angle with respect to the near display. The stimulus target displayed on the far display can be axially aligned with the stimulus target projected onto the first beam splitter. The method can also comprise obtaining, at a controller, measurements concerning refractive states of the eye during the first duration and the second duration from a refractor device in communication with the controller and determining, using the controller, an accommodative response of the eye based in part on the respective refractive states.

Methods, systems, and ophthalmic devices are described for correcting a misperception of depth of a moving object. An example ophthalmic device may comprise a first lens having a first optical characteristic that increases a distance of a focal point of a first eye. The ophthalmic device may comprise a second lens having a second optical characteristic that decreases a distance of a focal point of a second eye. The second lens may have a third optical characteristic that reduces a misperception of a distance of an moving object.

A refraction measuring apparatus measures refractive properties of an eye by two light bundles respectively passing through two apertures, the apparatus including: a first rotational member, rotatably supported about a first rotational center, provided with the two apertures on either side of the first rotational center; a second rotational member, rotatably supported about a second rotational center, provided with a light-transmission portion(s) and a light-shielding portion at different rotational-direction positions. When the first rotational member is rotated, the second rotational member rotates, and while an aperture arrangement direction of the two apertures changes in accordance with the rotation of the second rotational member, a light-transmission state is entered, in which the light-transmission portion coincides with the two apertures to allow the two light bundles to pass through, or a light-shielding state is entered, in which the light-shielding portion coincides with the two apertures to shield the two light bundles.

Various presbyopia measurement systems are presented. Solutions include a consumer friendly system using a consumer's smart phone to present a test image. The test image by be viewed through a first lens, second lens and optional added lens such that the image is perceived to be approximately eight inches to two feet away from the consumer's eye. In addition to a lens system that may be attached to a consumer's smart phone, the systems presented include a presbyopia kit that my comprise an eyeglass kit comprising near vision attachments, mid vision attachments, clip on lenses and Plano frames. Disclosed systems include the use of the use of both the eyeglass kit and lens system that attaches to the consumer's phone.

A method for improving vision utilizes a progressive series of various diopter eyeglasses, a vision chart or the like, and textual material. The first therapy commences with the person donning a first pair of eyeglasses having a magnifying diopter and the vision chart is positioned approximately 2 feet away from the person. The person then fixates upon the chart mark until the chart mark becomes visually clear. The person then moves farther away from the vision chart by approximately one foot and the person once again fixates upon the chart mark until the chart mark becomes visually clear. The second therapy commences with the person donning a first pair of eyeglasses having a low magnifying diopter and then reading textual material for several minutes. The person then replaces the low magnifying diopter eyeglass with a higher magnifying diopter eyeglass and once again reads the text for several minutes.

An apparatus for measuring a cornea of a subject contains an image capturing device configured to capture image data of an iris of the subject from a plurality of viewpoints by imaging beam paths which pass through the cornea and a computing unit for providing a mathematical model of an anterior eye section of the subject including a mathematical model of the cornea and the iris. The model further identifies and registers image features of the iris, which are present in a plurality of images of the image data; determines deviations between actual positions of the image features of the iris in the images captured from the plurality of viewpoints and expected positions of the image features of the iris in the images captured from the plurality of viewpoints in consideration of the mathematical model of the cornea and the position of the iris.
