A computer-implemented method detects the position of a corneal vertex of an eye from a frontal image of a head and a lateral image of the head. The front and lateral images are calibrated to one another, and the position of the corneal vertex in space is determined from the frontal image and the lateral image with a geometric position determination.

Disclosed is a method for determining an eye parameter of a user of a display device, the eye parameter relating to a dioptric parameter of an ophthalmic lens to be provided to the user, the method including: a display device providing step, during which a binocular display device is provided to the user,an image display step, during which an image is displayed to the user when using the display device; a display parameter modifying step, during which at least one parameter of the display device is modified so as to modify the virtual display distance of the perceived image, wherein the display parameter modifying step is repeated until image subjective quality of the perceived image is perceived by the user as optimal; and an eye parameter determining step during which an eye parameter is determined based on the parameter of the display device.

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining the location of at least two optical parameters of an eye of a test person. In the method, at least two optical parameters of an eye having a reference structure are photographically recorded to determine in each case one of the optical parameters of the eye. The apparatus for determining at least two optical parameters of an eye having a reference structure is provided with separate recording units for photographically recording the eye for the determination of in each case one of the optical parameters of the eye.

Systems and methods for creating fully custom products from scratch without exclusive use of off-the-shelf or pre-specified components. A system for creating custom products includes an image capture device for capturing image data and/or measurement data of a user. A computer is communicatively coupled with the image capture device and configured to construct an anatomic model of the user based on the captured image data and/or measurement data. The computer provides a configurable product model and enables preview and automatic or user-guided customization of the product model. A display is communicatively coupled with the computer and displays the custom product model superimposed on the anatomic model or image data of the user. The computer is further configured to provide the customized product model to a manufacturer for manufacturing eyewear for the user in accordance with the customized product model. The manufacturing system is configured to interpret the product model and prepare instructions and control equipment for the manufacturing of the customized product.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a handheld vision tester for vision self-testing by a user. The handheld vision tester comprises a touchscreen display, a control, and an interface port. The touchscreen display is configured to present different shapes, either statically or dynamically, to the user for the vision self-testing. One of the different shapes may be a modulated version of another similar shape displayed at the same time and includes a modulated edge. The control is configured to allow a user to trigger operations of the tester and allow the user to select one of the different shapes. The handheld vision tester is configured to determine results of the vision self-testing from the user selections and store the results in the handheld vision tester. The interface port is configured to transmit the stored results to a healthcare provider who uses the results to enhance treatment routines.

The present invention is directed to a system that may be incorporated into currently available electronic devices such as laptops, cell-phones and tablets, that help the user to maintain a viewing distance that is safe for the eyes. In order to avoid near-point stress on the eyes which may lead to the onset of myopia and/or accelerate the progression of myopia, especially in children or young adults, the system of the present invention monitors viewing distance and automatically distorts the image and/or text display into a format that is unreadable, for example, through blurring or pixilation, when the device is too close to the viewer. Alternatively, the system may automatically turn off the display when the device is too close and turn the display on when the device is at the proper viewing distance.

A method and system of providing a synthetic reality based on visual abilities of a user are provided. Results of an eye exam of a user are determined. An individualized vision profile is created based on the determined results of the eye exam. A movement of one or more eyes of the user is tracked. For each of the one or more displays, an image is rendered on a display of the HMD by correcting graphical characteristics of the display based on the individualized vision profile and the tracked movement of the one or more eyes.

Methods and systems for vehicle diagnostic detection and communication are disclosed. Specifically, a method to monitor the health of vehicle systems and subsystems and diagnose detected anomalies is provided. In the event an anomaly or unhealthy state is detected within a vehicle, subsystem or component, the system may take a number of actions. In one embodiment, the actions comprise notifying a maintenance provider, a regulatory monitor, and original equipment manufacturer. The system may also maintain a vehicle fleet-wide performance database to enable identification and analysis of systemic fleet-wide data.

A method for aiding the choice, by a future wearer, of a piece of visual equipment including at least one ophthalmic lens and a spectacle frame, includes the following steps: receiving at least first and second data items representative of first and second distances measured between an eye of the wearer and the frame; determining a first width and a second width, associated with the first data item and the second data item, respectively, by comparing, for each data item, the lower and upper limits of a range of values associated with the distance represented by the data item in question; and constructing an image including a first portion having the first width and a second portion having the second width, the first portion and the second portion being juxtaposed in the image. A method allowing a future wearer to select such a piece of equipment is also described.

The present disclosure relates generally to systems and method for testing and determining corrective lens prescription for a patient. In an example embodiment, a method includes using a hand-portable first electronic device, a second electronic device with a computerized screen, and a server to conduct a vision test for a person. The vision test includes determining, an axis prescription, a cylinder prescription, and a sphere prescription for each eye of the person. A corrective lens prescription is provided for the person based, at least in part, on the determined axis, cylinder, and sphere prescription for each eye of the person.
