Optoelectronic binocular instrument for the correction of presbyopia and method for the binocular correction of presbyopia

Optoelectronic binocular instrument for the automatic correction of presbyopia and method for the binocular correction of the presbyopia. The instrument has two optoelectronic lenses (103, 110; 203, 204) and a capturing subsystem for taking images of the eye. By means of the pupil tracking, which performs the processing of the eye's images, the system determines the distance where the subject is looking at. The pupil tracking works at a very high speed, using a high-performance graphic processor and a highly parallelized algorithm for pupil tracking. The method consists of two phases. In the first one a calibration is accomplished, the subject is asked to look at targets at different distances and the size and position of the pupil is measured. In the second phase the correction is performed by the instrument, the system continuously captures and processes images to calculate the correction to apply and, finally, corrects the presbyopia by applying said correction.
