An example device is configured to capture an image of an eye. The device includes a camera configured to capture the image of the eye. The device also includes: a first base configured to be moved along a first axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye; a second base configured to be moved along a second axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye; and a third base configured to be moved along a third axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye.

Provided is a microscope apparatus including: a microscope section configured to image a subject's eye with an image sensor for performing magnified observation of the subject's eye; a holding section configured to hold the microscope section; a front lens insertion/removal unit configured to insert/remove a front lens for observing a posterior eye of the subject's eye onto an optical axis of the microscope section; and a control apparatus configured to execute an AF control that focuses the microscope section on an image-forming position of an image of the posterior eye by the front lens when the front lens is inserted onto the optical axis of the microscope section by the front lens insertion/removal unit.

A vision testing device capable of reducing a psychological sense of uneasiness, stress and the like given to a testee when a vision test is performed with a main body of the vision testing device mounted on a head portion of the testee, including: a device main body mounted on a head portion of a testee who undergoes a vision test, and having display devices for displaying a test image for the testee and a camera for photographing an external image; a switch operated by the testee; and a display control unit which performs switching of display images to be displayed on display devices between a test image and the external image photographed by the camera when the switch is operated under a predetermined operation condition in a state that the test image is displayed on the display devices.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for performing an ophthalmic diagnostic test are disclosed. In one aspect, a head-wearable device for administering an ophthalmic test to a subject can comprise a head-wearable frame for mounting the device onto the subject's head, and a light seal configured for coupling to the frame so as to isolate at least one eye of the subject from ambient light when the device is worn by the subject.

An optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for imaging a retina applies a user specific focus correction to focus a sample arm light beam on the user's retina. An OCT image detector generates an OCT signal. A control unit monitors the OCT signal, controls a reference arm optical path length adjustment mechanism to identify a length of the reference arm optical path for which the OCT signal corresponds to an OCT image of the retina, and varies an operational parameter of the sample arm light beam focus mechanism over a range, while maintaining the length of the reference arm optical path for which the OCT signal corresponds to the OCT image of the retina, to identify a focus correction for the user, based on the OCT signal, for application to the sample arm light beam.

An interactive control apparatus for controlling an OCT imaging apparatus instructs, in response to detection of a first instruction signal from a pointer device, a specific action to the OCT imaging apparatus according to selected icon displayed on a display unit, and instructs, in response to detection of a second instruction signal from the pointer device, a specific action to the OCT imaging apparatus according to a preparation status of the OCT imaging apparatus when the second instruction signal is detected.

Provided is a control device including control circuitry configured to control a position and an attitude of a microscope by driving an arm that supports the microscope on the basis of a captured image of a surgical operating site photographed by the microscope during a surgical operation so that a position and attitude condition is satisfied. The position and attitude condition is a condition that prescribes a position and an attitude of the microscope with respect to the surgical operating site to obtain a desired captured image corresponding to the position and attitude condition.

Disclosed is a method for measuring the refraction of an individual by a refraction measuring appliance, including: an initial step of determining at least one initial value of a visuo-postural parameter of the individual; a step of processing the initial value in order to deduce at least one initial value of a regulating parameter of the refraction measuring appliance, the regulating parameter being associated with the visuo-postural parameter; a step of regulating the refraction measuring appliance according to the initial value of the regulating parameter; and a step of measuring the refraction of the individual by the measuring appliance regulated in this way. Also disclosed is a method for the optical design of an ophthalmic lens, and to a pair of glasses including such a lens.
