A method for providing a personalized optical system for a wearer wherein the optical system characterizes a spectacle ophthalmic lens comprising the following steps: a) providing a visual performance level (VPL) value of at least one eye of the wearer; b) providing a set of rules linking at least the visual performance level of step a) with at least one optical criterion chosen among one or both of the two following optical criteria groups consisting of central vision optical criterion (CVOC) group and peripheral vision optical criterion (PVOC) group; c) calculating the physical and geometrical parameters of the personalized optical system or selecting the personalized optical system in an optical systems data base comprising a plurality of optical systems, so that to meet the set of rules of step b) according to the visual performance level data provided in step a).

An ophthalmic scanning system includes a first imaging modality, a second imaging modality different from the first imaging modality, and a control system that maps the first imaging modality to the second imaging modality by compensating for at least one of an optical-mechanical and an electro-mechanical projection difference between the first and second imaging modalities. The control system provides a scan location for the second imaging modality based on a scan location of the first imaging modality.

An embodiment provides a technology for preventing a situation in which a subject's eye is imaged in an inappropriate imaging mode. An ophthalmic apparatus according to one embodiment is capable of selectively performing a first imaging mode and a second imaging mode. The first imaging mode is an imaging mode in which imaging of a subject's eye is performed in a first state where an attachment unit is not attached. The second imaging mode is an imaging mode in which imaging of the subject's eye is performed in a second state where the attachment unit is attached. The ophthalmic apparatus according to the embodiment includes the followings: an operation unit configured for designating an imaging mode; an attachment state determination unit configured to determine whether or not the attachment unit is attached; a correspondence determination unit configured to determine whether or not the correspondence between the imaging mode designated by a use of the operation unit and an attachment state of the attachment unit obtained by the attachment state determination unit is appropriate; and a controller configured to perform control for prohibiting imaging in at least the designated imaging mode when the correspondence determination unit has determined that the correspondence is not appropriate.

A system for replicating a standardized visual acuity test, such as the 20′ Snellen test may comprise a binocular viewer attached to a smartphone. A binocular viewer may comprise a housing comprising a pair tube covers having voids allowing for viewing through a pair of lens tubes with each lens tube in visual communication with a second lens a first lens an aperture and a front cover. The optical systems use an artful combination of front and back lens surfaces, demagnification and other systems to faithfully replicate the sight lines perceived by a user of a traditional 20′ test. The system also allows for the incorporation of other tests conducted with both eyes including Color Sensitivity and Contrast, furthermore by placing a deformable, tunable lens between the second lens and the eye the device serves as an ophthalmic refractometer, allowing a Spherical Equivalent refraction estimate for each eye.

A method is provided for determining the dominant eye of a person using equipment designed to acquire at least one image of the face of the person, then process the image, and finally return information enabling the person to know which eye is the dominant eye thereof. The method uses a sighting device that is identifiable and locatable in relation to the equipment, with the viewing being carried out through a window with both eyes open. The size of the window is such that it does not allow the person to see said target with both eyes at the same time. The equipment acquires at least one image for viewing the position of both eyes of the person, processing the image by performing calculations while taking into account the position of a central point located between both eyes, the position of the target and the position of the window.

A visual function evaluation is performed using a sequence of interactions with a mobile device. A patient user may perform a variety of visual tests using the mobile device. The mobile device transmits the test results to a remote server implementing analysis of the visual function results using network service. The network service receives the test results, processes the results, and provides the processed results to a healthcare provider. The processed results may include trends of the user's visual function test performance. The healthcare provider, such as a physician, may optimize and administer treatment based on the data. Early detection of changes in visual function can enable the healthcare provider to individualize treatment, helping to prevent vision loss while minimizing visits to the office, discomfort, and expense.
