  • Publication number: 20230404387
    Abstract: An optometry device for testing an individual's eye, including a refraction test unit having a vision correction optical system for providing different vision correction power values, and a display unit comprising a control unit controlling a projection optical system adapted to produce from a scene picture and from a visual test picture including a functional zone, respectively, along a scene optical path of the projection optical system, a scene image at a scene distance from the individual's eye, and along a visual test optical path of the projection optical system, a visual test image at a visual test distance from the individual's eye smaller than or equal to the scene distance of projection, the visual test image being superimposed at least partially with the scene image.

  • Publication number: 20230266198
    Abstract: A system for determining a rounded value of an optical feature of an ophthalmic lens including determining a first test value and a first variation increment, performing a first trial of said subjective test wherein two first different optical situations are determined based on at least the first test value, determining a second test value based on the first test value, on the first variation increment and on the result of the first trial, performing a second trial of said subjective test wherein two second different optical situations are determined based on at least the second test value, determining an intermediary value based on the result of the first trial and on the result of the second trial, and determining said rounded value by rounding said intermediary value to a reference value, said rounding modifying the dioptric correction of said ophthalmic lens by less than a predetermined basic dioptric value.

  • Publication number: 20230139007
    Abstract: A system for determining a value of a magnitude associated with a subjective value of an optical feature of at least a corrective lens adapted to an eye of a subject, by implementing a subjective test where the subject is asked to describe his visual performance in a plurality of real optical conditions by choosing one descriptive answer among a set of possible descriptive answers. The system includes one or more processor programmed to collect the results of the subjective test, performed by asking the subject to describe his visual performance in each real optical condition of the plurality of real optical conditions by choosing, for each real optical condition, one descriptive answer, the results comprising each descriptive answer chosen and the corresponding real optical condition, and determine the value of the magnitude by taking into account the initial model and each descriptive answer collected.

  • Publication number: 20230050368
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a filter for an ophthalmic lens to be placed in front of the eye of the wearer, the filter being able to improve or maintain the visual comfort and/or the visual performances of the wearer. The determination method includes: a step of measuring a variable representative of sensitivity of the eye or both eyes of the wearer to a characteristic light flow, and a step of determining at least one optical characteristic of the filter according to the representative variable measured.

  • Publication number: 20220304569
    Abstract: A method and associated instrument in which an optical system is switched from a first to a second refractive power states, to provide a first, and then a second refraction correction to an eye of a subject, the switching being carried on without interrupting a light beam coming from a target object and transmitted by the optical system to the eye of the subject. The switching is carried on in order to circumvent an intermediate refraction correction that is in between said first and second refraction corrections, or with a speed higher than a given limit.

  • Publication number: 20220257109
    Abstract: A method for inducing a controlled variation of accommodation in an eye of a subject, using an optical system arranged in front of at least one eye of the subject and including displaying an environmental scene, displaying, in this environmental scene, a target visible by the subject through said optical system, said target being displayed in such a way that it is perceived by the subject as moving away from said subject or moving towards said subject within said environmental scene, having the subject observe said moving target.

  • Publication number: 20220225872
    Abstract: The invention concerns a couple of test images, for a binocular refraction method, that comprises: —a first test image (21) to be provided to a first eye of a subject, comprising a central image (21c) surrounded by a first peripheral image (21p), this central image comprising at least one optotype (21o); and - a second test image (22) to be provided to a second eye of the subject, comprising a central image (22c) surrounded by a second peripheral image (22p) substantially identical to the first peripheral image, this central image being deprived of optotypes, or comprising only optotypes (22o) with a low contrast or sharpness level. The invention concerns also an associated binocular refraction method and refraction instrument, and an associated computer program.

  • Patent number: 11137624
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a filter for an ophthalmic lens intended for being placed in front of the eye wearer, said filter being capable of improving or maintaining the visual comfort and/or the visual performance of said wearer. According to the invention, this method includes: a) a step of determining a quantity representing a dynamic sensitivity of the eye or the two eyes of the wearer to a variation in a luminous flux; and b) a step of determining at least one optical feature of said filter as a function of the determined representative quantity.

  • Publication number: 20210106216
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for altering the visual performance of a subject using an optical system arranged in front of at least one eye of the subject, and including: b) determining an optotype; c) displaying the optotype to the subject in such a way that it is visible by the subject through the optical system; d) assessing the visual performance of the subject viewing the optotype through the optical system; and e) adding a positive or negative altering value of spherical optical power to the optical system. The method includes, before step b): a) choosing a target value of visual performance; and and in that, at step b), the optotype has a size which is determined depending on the target value of visual performance; at step e), the altering value of spherical optical power is determined depending on the target value of visual performance.
