  • Patent number: 11927831
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method wherein the following steps are performed: a) the subject is placed in a natural posture, in which at least one of the gaze directions of the subject points to a visual target, b) an image capture apparatus is placed between the head of the subject and the visual target, c) the relative posture of the image capture apparatus and head of the subject is adjusted in order for the pupil of the image capture apparatus to be positioned close to the gaze direction of at least one of the eyes of the subject, d) an image of the head of the subject is captured, and e) the at least one geometrico-morphological parameter is deduced from this image.

  • Patent number: 10878595
    Abstract: An example system enabling a dual fisheye model and calibration is described. The system includes a calibration module that simultaneously generates a first set of coefficients of an inverse distortion polynomial f(?) representing radial distortion and a second set of coefficients of an alternative distortion polynomial g(?). Further, the present techniques may also calibrate intrinsic and extrinsic parameters.

  • Patent number: 8885251
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for confirming a functionalized flexible planar film on an optical lens. The apparatus according to the invention may also be used in a process of functionalization of an optical lens. As a factor of the functionalization that one wishes to introduce into said optical lens and the nature of the functionalized flexible planar film used, the functionalization process is a process of gluing, transfer, or molding of a functionalized flexible planar film onto an optical lens. The implementation of each of these respective processes makes it possible to obtain a functionalized optical lens, said functionalization being adhered, transferred, or molded using a functionalized flexible planar film.

  • Patent number: 8256896
    Abstract: An ophthalmic lens for modifying or reducing non-axisymmetric higher order aberrations includes an optic body disposed about an optical axis having a primary meridian and an orthogonal secondary meridian. The optic body comprises an anterior surface and an opposing posterior surface. The optic body includes an optic zone comprising a base shape that is configured to form an image or focus from light incident on the surfaces, either alone or when used within an optical system. The optic body also includes a higher order toric shape that is imposed on or added to one of the surfaces. The higher order toric shape also includes a first profile disposed along the primary meridian and a second profile disposed along the secondary meridian that is different in shape from the first profile. The higher order toric shape is characterized by a profile along at least one meridian of the lens that changes with increasing radius from the optical axis raised to a power that is greater than two.

  • Publication number: 20120158131
    Abstract: Aspheric optical lenses (e.g., intraocular lenses and contact lenses) are provided. The intraocular lens includes a body portion defining an anterior optical surface and an opposing posterior optical surface. The anterior optical surface includes a central region surrounded by a first outer region and a second outer region. The central region has a first asphericity profile. The first outer region has a second asphericity profile that is different than the first asphericity profile of the central region. The second outer region has a third asphericity profile that is different than the second asphericity profile of the first outer region. The overall asphericity profile of the optical lens provides different depths of focus for different pupil sizes. The result is an optical lens that provides increased depth of focus or pseudo-accommodation while maintaining desired optical power and performance.
