A METHOD FOR PERFORMING AN ASTIGMATISM POWER TEST USING A COMPUTING DEVICE HAVING A SCREEN FOR DISPLAYING IMAGES RELATING TO SAID ASTIGMATISM POWER TEST, AS WELL AS A CORRESPONDING COMPUTING DEVICE
A method for performing an astigmatism power test using a computing having a screen for displaying images relating to the astigmatism power test. The method includes determining an angle of astigmatism, calibrating visual acuity of the user, determining amplitudes required for the astigmatism correction, and determining the needed refraction, as well as a corresponding computer system.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CREATING EYEWEAR WITH MULTI-FOCAL LENSES
Systems and methods are disclosed for generating an eyewear frame and lens geometry that is customized to a user's anatomy and optimized for optical performance. One method includes receiving a configurable parametric model of a user-specific eyewear product comprising a frame portion and a lens portion, wherein geometric parameters of the configurable parametric model are based geometric features of a user's anatomy; receiving media data of a user, the media data including the user's response to visual cues; detecting the position of the user's eyes from the received media data; determining optical information of the user based on the detected position of the user's eyes; and generating an updated configurable parametric model by modifying the received configurable parametric model based on the determined optical information.
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.
DEVICES HAVING SYSTEM FOR REDUCING THE IMPACT OF NEAR DISTANCE VIEWING ON MYOPIA ONSET AND/OR MYOPIA PROGRESSION
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.
Multi-use endoscope with integrated device-patient monitoring and patient-provider positioning and disassociation system
A system having a scope with a longitudinal length extending between a proximal end and a distal end includes a plurality of markers spaced along the longitudinal length. The system also includes a disassociation and positioning device that is configured to enhance unsedated transnasal endoscopic procedures by at least partially occluding the vision of a patient while enabling body cavity access, and optionally record and sense body functions such as temperature, heart rate and oxygenation of the blood stream. The system further includes a sensor integrated into the distraction device, wherein the sensor is configured to detect the markers on the longitudinal length of the scope.
INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE MEASURING METHOD, WEARABLE OPHTHALMIC DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An interpupillary distance measuring method, a wearable ophthalmic device and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: capturing at least one eye image; extracting corresponding one or two pupil image positions corresponding to a monocular pupil or pupils to two eyes in the at least one eye image; and determining an actual distance between the pupils of two eyes according to the one or two pupil image positions.
APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR VISION ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT
Methods and systems for assessing and/or treating visual disorders, such as discorder in accommodative ability and/or vergence ability, of a person are provided. Assessment and training exercises can be performed utilizing a computerized system in communication with a head-mountable display (HMD), such as a virtual or augmented reality display, which can display visual targets at various vergence and accommodative demands. Lenses, such as inverted bifocal lenses, may be used in combination with the HMD to mimic natural accommodative demand during viewing or to enable assessment and treatment of accommodation disorders. Corrective factors can be calculated and utilized for generation of visual targets to account for lens characteristics and/or interpupillary distance mismatch. Accommodation and vergence responses can be tracked during display of the visual targets at the various demands, and assessed in comparison to normalized values for assessment of vision disorders or utilized to track progress of user in treatment of a vision disorder.
Method for determining an ophthalmological parameter
The invention relates to a method for determining at least one ophthalmological parameter of a subject, consisting of the subject's semi-pupillary distances, comprising observing the subject's two eyes using an eye tracking device (30) borne by the subject and determining the aforementioned parameter at least from this observation.
Eye center of rotation determination, depth plane selection, and render camera positioning in display systems
A display system can include a head-mounted display configured to project light to an eye of a user to display virtual image content at different amounts of divergence and collimation. The display system can include an inward-facing imaging system images the user's eye and processing electronics that are in communication with the inward-facing imaging system and that are configured to obtain an estimate of a center of rotation of the user's eye. The display system may render virtual image content with a render camera positioned at the determined position of the center of rotation of said eye.
Multi-Modal Vision Enhancement System
A head-mounted video camera, a processor, and a display are integrated within the head-mounted device worn by the user. The head-mounted device is configured to capture images of the environment and subject those images to specialized processing in order to diagnose and/or make up for deficiencies in the user's eyesight. Different modes of operating the device are provided that enable the user to configure the device for a specific application. The modes of operation include at least an assistive mode, a diagnostic mode, and a therapeutic mode. Each mode of operation may include further options, where each option is dedicated to a specific processing approach specific to a condition that may afflict the user, ranging from contrast sensitivity issues to strabismus.
