EXTERNAL ALIGNMENT INDICATION/GUIDANCE SYSTEM FOR RETINAL CAMERA
20220338733 · 2022-10-27 ·

A retinal camera system comprises an eyepiece lens disposed within a housing, a retinal image sensor, and a visual guidance indicator. The retinal image sensor is adapted to acquire a retinal image of an eye through the eyepiece lens. The visual guidance indicator is disposed in or on the housing peripherally about the eyepiece lens. The visual guidance indicator is positioned and oriented relative to the eyepiece lens to emit a visual cue along an optical path that does not pass through the eyepiece lens. The visual cue is adapted to facilitate alignment of the eye to the eyepiece lens.

COMPUTERIZED REFRACTION AND ASTIGMATISM DETERMINATION
20230118575 · 2023-04-20 ·

The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for determining the refractive error of a patient, more particularly determining the patient's refractive error by using a computerized screen, and providing a prescription for the patient's preferred type of corrective lenses. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method for determining a corrective lenses prescription of a patient. The method includes, separately, for each eye of the patient, determining an astigmatism prescription for the patient via a computerized screen and without the use of a refractor lens assembly, including instructing the patient to move a known, fixed distance away from a computerized screen and testing for a cylinder component by sequentially presenting at least two cylinder diagrams to the patient via the computerized screen and enabling the patient to select at least one input per cylinder diagram, where those inputs correspond to cylinder measurements for determining the prescription.
