DETERMINING COLOR VISION ABILITY USING A VISION SCREENING DEVICE
20230047557 · 2023-02-16 ·

A vision screening device for administering vision screening tests, and in particular a color vision screening test, to a patient is described herein. The vision screening device may include associated methods and systems configured to perform the operations of the vision screening tests. The device may include a first radiation source configured to generate color stimuli, a second radiation source separate from the first radiation source configured to emit near-infrared radiation, and a sensor configured to capture the near-infrared radiation emitted by the second radiation source, and reflected by an eye of a patient. The device may also be configured to cause color stimulus to be displayed to the patient, and determine measurement(s) of the eye of the patient in response to the color stimulus. The device may be further configured to analyze the measurements to generate a recommendation and/or diagnosis associated with the vision of the patient. The device may also be configured to display the recommendation and/or the measurements, along with additional screening data, to an operator conducting the vision test.

The length of an optical fiber from a portion aligned with the rear end of an insertion needle to a fixing portion is a length obtained by adding a predetermined extra length to a linear distance between the rear end of the insertion needle in a case where the insertion needle is located at a protruding position (insertion position) and an optical fiber fixing position of a grip portion. There is provided a fiber feeding adjustment mechanism that suspends the optical fiber with a first suspension portion and a second suspension portion so as to make a detour in a state in which there is no slack, and changes the detour length continuously according to the movement of the insertion needle in a case where the insertion needle moves between the retracted position and the protruding position, thereby maintaining a state in which the optical fiber is suspended without slack.
