Method, computer program product, control unit and head-mounted display for conserving energy in an eye tracking system
An eye tracking system includes at least two cameras configured to register eye images of at least one eye. The system obtains eye images from at least one camera in a subset of the at least two cameras, determines a first pupil parameter based on a first eye image, and determines a second pupil parameter based on a second eye image. The system compares the first and second pupil parameters to obtain a test parameter and checks the test parameter against at least one operation criterion. Responsive to the checking, the system assigns a respective operation state to at least one camera in the subset. The operation state involves one of (A) operating the camera at a high frame rate, (B) operating the camera at a reduced frame rate being lower than high frame rate, (C) the camera being in a standby mode or (D) the camera being powered off.
Magnetic Light Guide Plug Connection
An ophthalmic light instrument includes a plug (1) and a light guide (7) for guiding light (10) to a surgical site in the eye. The plug (1) is configured to be magnetically attractable or attractive and can be positioned and connected releasably with respect to a light source in such a way, that coupling of the light (10) into the light instrument takes place at the focal point (14) of the light source (12). An ophthalmic illumination system includes such a light instrument and a socket of the light source. The socket of the light source (4) is configured to be magnetically attractable or attractive and can be positioned and connected releasably with respect to the light source in such a way, that coupling of the light (10) into the light instrument takes place at the focal point (14) of the light source (12).
Perimeter for testing for progression of Glaucoma

Ophthalmic apparatus and control method therefor, personal digital assistant device and control method therefor, ophthalmic system, and program
An ophthalmic apparatus is capable of communicating with a PDA device provided with a display unit and includes a main body that includes an image-capturing unit, the image-capturing unit obtaining a moving image of an eye to be examined (target eye) based on light returned from the target eye which is illuminated, the moving image of the target eye used by the ophthalmic apparatus for obtaining, based on an examination of the target eye, information regarding the target eye, a driving unit that drives the main body, a transmission unit that transmits, before the information regarding the target eye is obtained, a moving image signal of the obtained moving image to the PDA device, a reception unit that receives a control signal from the PDA device during transmission of the moving image signal, and a control unit that controls the driving unit based on the received control signal.
Systems and methods for assessing user physiology based on eye tracking data
Systems and methods are disclosed for assessing user physiology via eye tracking data. One method includes determining a plurality of visual assessments; determining, for each assessment of the plurality of visual assessments, a data schema, where at least one data schema is associated with more than one assessment of the plurality of visual assessments; storing the determined data schema; receiving user eye tracking data associated with a selected visual assessment of the plurality of visual assessments; determining, of the stored data schema(a), a selected stored data schema associated with the selected visual assessment; categorizing the received eye tracking data based on the selected stored data schema; computing quantitative data based on the categorized data and data related to one or more individuals other than the user; generating a report of user physiological function based on the computed quantitative data; and outputting the report to a web portal.
VISION SCREENING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A system includes system housing, an eccentric radiation source, and a radiation sensor. The radiation produced by the eccentric radiation source can be collected by the radiation sensor to generate images of retinas for a patient. The system also includes a vision screening device connected with the eccentric radiation source and the radiation sensor via the system house that can control and synchronize actions for the eccentric radiation source and the radiation sensor. The vision screening device further analyzes the images generated by the radiation sensor via neural network algorithms to determine spherical error slopes, refractive errors, and recommendations for the patient.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELF-CORRECTING OBJECTIVE REFRACTOMETRY
Objective refraction error measuring apparatuses are known. Once the measurement is done, there is no known method for confirming if the measurements are correct. Disclosed is an apparatus (200) wherein once the error is measured, the determined values of the error are used to set the characteristics of a tunable lens (230) so as to correct the error in the vision of the subject. The objective error is measured again while the subject viewing through the tunable lens so set. Objective refraction error is again measured. If the error measured is now within predefined limits, the first measurement is deemed correct and the values are out put so that glasses with those values may be prescribed to the subject.
