Abstract: An apparatus and a method for measuring individual data of spectacles arranged in a measurement position are disclosed. The spectacles have a left and/or a right spectacle lens. The apparatus has a display for displaying a test structure. The apparatus contains an image capture device for capturing the test structure with an imaging beam path which passing through the left spectacle lens and/or the right spectacle lens of the spectacles. Further, the apparatus includes a computer unit with a computer program for determining a refractive power distribution for at least a section of the left spectacle lens and/or the right spectacle lens from the image of the test structure captured by the image capture device and a known spatial orientation of the display relative to the image capture device. To measure individual data of spectacles, the spectacles are arranged in a measurement position.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method detects the position of a corneal vertex of an eye from a frontal image of a head and a lateral image of the head. The front and lateral images are calibrated to one another, and the position of the corneal vertex in space is determined from the frontal image and the lateral image with a geometric position determination.

Abstract: An optical system for transmitting a source image is provided. Light having a field angle spectrum emanates from the source image. The optical system includes an optical waveguide arrangement, in which light can propagate by total internal reflection. The optical system also includes a diffractive optical input coupling arrangement for coupling the light emanating from the source image into the optical waveguide arrangement. The optical system further includes a diffractive optical output coupling arrangement for coupling the light that has propagated in the optical waveguide arrangement out from the optical waveguide arrangement. The disclosure also provides related methods.

Abstract: A method for measuring distances and angles in the human eye in a highly sensitive manner in order to insert an intraocular lens having the correct refractive power during a cataract operation. The method is based on low coherence interferometry using the dual beam method, in which the time domain signals are detected using a spatially resolving sensor. The delay line of the interferometric measuring arrangement employed is continuously tuned and the low coherence illumination light source used to illuminate the retina of an eye is periodically modulated in terms of its brightness. The light signals reflected by the retina are captured by a sensor and detected in spatially resolved fashion. The disclosed method is used to measure the eye length of a cataractous eye. Even though the method is provided, in particular, for measuring already cataractous eyes, it can be used, in principle, to measure the axial length of all eyes.

Abstract: A functionally integrated laser scanning microscope for scanning a sample with laser illumination, selectably in a confocal, line or wide-field operating mode, comprising a laser light source, an illumination and detection beam path, a detection device and at least one objective, wherein the illumination and detection beam path has optical means for the configuration of the laser illumination, at least one scanner for scanning the sample with the laser illumination, and a beam splitter for separating illumination and detection light, and controllable optical elements for changing the beam guiding depending on the operating mode selected in each case.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus for demonstrating the visual impression for a wearer of spectacles having polarizing spectacle lenses. The apparatus includes a memory for providing a first image having a motif and a first polarization direction corresponding thereto and a second image having the same motif and a second polarization direction corresponding thereto, which is different from the first polarization direction. The apparatus also includes a display device for displaying the first image with light polarized in the first polarization direction and the second image with light polarized in the second polarization direction in a superposed representation, such that the motif of the first image and the motif of the second image coincide dimensionally identically. The invention is also directed to a method for demonstrating the visual impression for a wearer of spectacles having polarizing spectacle lenses.

Abstract: An optical system for producing lithographic structures is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for determining relative coordinates of a position of a writing field relative to a position of a preview field in such an optical system, and a method for producing lithographic structures using such an optical system.

Abstract: A display device with a retaining device is disclosed, which can be placed on the head of a user. The display device contains a first image generator, which is secured or can be secured to the retaining device, and a first optical imaging system which is secured to the retaining device and which is designed to image an image generated on a first image plane (E) by the first image generator such that the user can perceive the image with a first eye (LA) when the retaining device is placed on the head of the user. The retaining device supports a first refraction determining optical system which is designed to determine the subjective refraction of the first eye (LA) when the retaining device is placed on the head of the user and/or the first optical imaging system is configured to be variable.
