Publication number: 20230118575Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Steven P. Lee, Aaron Dallek

Patent number: 9603517Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method for determining the pupillary distance of a person, more particularly determining the person's pupillary distance by using a computerized screen. The system and method do not require the trip or expense of a doctor or store visit, and are optimized for convenience and cost effectiveness. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method for determining a pupillary distance of a person without physically measuring the pupillary distance with a device. The method includes receiving a front facial image of the person, determining a scale of the image based on an estimated canthal distance, and determining the pupillary distance of the person based, in part, on the determined scale of the image.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2016Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Opternative, Inc.Inventors: Steven P. Lee, Aaron Dallek

The system and method do not require the trip or expense of a doctor visit, and are optimized for convenience and cost effectiveness. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method for determining a corrective lenses prescription for a person. The method includes, separately, for each eye of the person, determining the sphere prescription for the person via a computerized screen and without the use of a refractor lens assembly. Determining the sphere prescription is done, in part, by displaying a sphere figure to the person via the computerized screen and enabling the person to select at least one input, where the input corresponds to a sphere measurement.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2016Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Opternative, Inc.Inventors: Steven P. Lee, Aaron Dallek
