  • Publication number: 20120188511
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmic analysis system and a method for measuring a geometry of an eye to be examined using the ophthalmic analysis system that comprises a first interferometric analysis system and a second non-interferometric analysis system. The first analysis system is used for obtaining measured data on optical boundary surfaces of the eye located on a measurement axis, and measured data describing relative distances, and the second analysis system is used for obtaining at least one set of image data on optical boundary surfaces located on the measurement axis. A processing device of the ophthalmic analysis system processes the measured data and the set of image data and corrects the set of image data using the measured data.

  • Patent number: 8220927
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining and selecting a contact lens with an opthalmological device for examining the eyes, the opthalmological device comprising a keratometer and an autorefractometer as well as a data processor, whereby a refractive power of an eye and a topography of a cornea are determined, whereby refraction data describing a refraction of an eye to be examined are obtained, whereby topographic data describing the topography of the cornea of the eye are obtained, and whereby, by using the obtained refraction and topography data, contact lens data are calculated and a contact lens is selected from a database of the opthalmological device. In accordance with an apparatus embodiment of the invention, an opthalmological device for carrying out the method is also described.
