Method and apparatus for determining metamorphopsia based on user interaction
According to a method for determining metamorphopsia based on user interaction disclosed as an embodiment of the present invention, a test chart may be displayed to a user, an input from the user for a part which is perceived as being distorted in the displayed test chart may be received, and a metamorphopsia degree of the user may be accurately determined based on a distortion area selected according to the received input. Further, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a test chart may be displayed to a user, a response (e.g., distance values of points, an area value, etc. in a zone) for each zone for the test chart may be received from the user, and metamorphopsia of the user may be determined based on the received response.
Method for self-examination of an eye and ophthalmological self-examination apparatus
The invention relates to a method for examining an eye of a patient by the patient themselves by means of an ophthalmological apparatus, said apparatus having front optics and an apparatus pupil. According to said method, the patient positions the ophthalmological apparatus relative to the eye, a measure of the deviation of the pupil of the eye from the apparatus pupil is determined, and a pupil correction signal is produced depending on the measure of the deviation, said pupil correction signal specifying a direction and/or a degree of the deviation and being output to the patient. The patient can use the pupil correction signal for repositioning in relation to the ophthalmological apparatus with a smaller deviation.
Ophthalmologic apparatus and method of controlling the same
An ophthalmologic apparatus includes a refractometry optical system, an OCT optical system, a fixation projection system, and a controller. The refractometry optical system is configured to project light onto a subject's eye and to detect returning light from the subject's eye. The OCT optical system is configured to split light from an OCT light source into measurement light and reference light, to project the measurement light onto the subject's eye, and to detect interference light between returning light of the measurement light from the subject's eye and the reference light. The fixation projection system is configured to simultaneously project a first fixation target and a second fixation target onto the subject's eye, a visual angle of the second fixation target being narrower than a visual angle of the first fixation target. The controller is configured to control the refractometry optical system and the OCT optical system to simultaneously perform a refractometry and an OCT measurement.
