  • Patent number: 10502979
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to sensor systems for electronic ophthalmic devices. In certain embodiments, the sensor systems may comprise a sensor such as an adjustable resistor configured in series with an eye of a user of the electronic ophthalmic device. The sensor systems may comprise a gain stage configured to amplify a signal indicative of a difference between a voltage drop across the eye and the adjustable resistor. The sensor systems may comprise an integrator configured to integrate the amplified signal. A resistance value of the adjustable resistor is configured to cancel a DC component of a resistance of the eye when an electrical current is caused to flow through the eye and the adjustable resistor. As such, the configured resistance value of the adjustable resistor is indicative of an impedance of the eye.

  • Publication number: 20180173013
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to sensor systems. Sensor system may comprise a substrate configured to be disposed adjacent an eye of a user, at least a pair of driver electrodes disposed adjacent the substrate, the driver electrodes configured to facilitate passage of an electrical current through the eye, wherein each of the driver electrodes are configured to exhibit a current density of less than 70 ?A/mm2 when a current of 100 ?A is passing therethrough, at least a pair of sensor electrodes disposed adjacent the substrate and spaced from the driver electrodes, the pair of sensor electrodes configured to sense a potential difference across at least a portion of the eye, as measured between the pair of sensor electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7090348
    Abstract: A method for designing ophthalmic lenses, including progressive addition lenses, and lenses produced by the method are provided. The method permits the direct correlation of an individual's subjective assessment of the lens' performance and the objective measure of lens performance relative to the individual. The method permits generation of lens designs based on the head and eye movement of the individual and the designing of customized lenses.
