Patent number: 8675045Abstract: In an image processing method, a first two-dimensional image (I(x, y)) of a three-dimensional scene is obtained. Each pixel location of a first image is associated with a respective distance parameter (z(x, y)) representing a distance of a viewer's eye to an object of the scene appearing at this pixel location in the first image. A respective spreading parameter (?d(x, y)) is determined for each pixel location as a function of the distance parameter associated with this pixel location, of a dioptric power (Pcorr) of a portion of a correction lens simulated as placed along a ray extending between the viewer's eye and the object of the scene appearing at said pixel location in the first image, and of a simulated maximum accommodation power (Pacc) of the viewer's eye. A second, blurred two-dimensional image (I?(x, y)) is generated from the first image using a local convolution kernel varying across the image. This kernel can be made sparse, i.e.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Essilor International (Compagnie Generale d'Optique)Inventors: Gildas Marin, Marc Le Renard

Patent number: 7210780Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method for determination by optimization of an ophthalmic lens for a wearer for whom a power addition has been prescribed. The method proposes using as a target for the optimization of the lens, under wearing conditions, a difference of the mean orientation of the axes of resulting astigmatism to the vertical of less than 2.5° in a first control zone delimited by an ellipse centred on the progression meridian at half height between the fitting cross and the near vision reference point, said ellipse having a major axis greater than 35° and a minor axis comprised between 3.8° and 4.5°. The invention allows improvement in the performances of the progressive multifocal lenses in intermediate vision.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2006Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Essilor International (Compagnie Generale D'Optique)Inventors: Bernard Bourdoncle, Gildas Marin

Publication number: 20060247766Abstract: The invention relates to a system for enlarging a retinal image, comprising an intraocular implant and an external lens. The implant comprises a peripheral part and a central part with a negative power. The lens has a positive power and is for arrangement outside the eye, typically in a glasses frame. The lens and the implant produce an enlarged image of an object at the back of the eye of a standard user. For a pupil with a diameter of 1.5 mm, each point object in a reading field forms a dark image of a size between 20 and 50 ?m at the back of the eye. The invention permits a large reading field, at the cost of a degradation in the performance of the system along the axis, acceptable when taking into account the acuity of the patients treated and, furthermore, provides a system with little variation in performance with displacement of the lens from the nominal position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2006Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventor: Gildas Marin

Patent number: 6379008Abstract: A method of determining the shape of an ophthalmic contact lens for correcting optical aberrations of the eye beyond defocusing or astigmatism includes the steps of measuring the optical aberrations of the eye to be corrected, determining the shape of the rear face of the lens from the measured topography of the cornea in order to obtain a predetermined mechanical behavior of the lens when it is placed on the eye, measuring the optical aberrations of the eye to be corrected, and determining the shape of the front face of the lens from the measured optical aberrations of the eye to be corrected combined with data relating to the shape determined for the rear face of the lens in order to correct the aberrations. The system includes measurement units for measuring the topography and the aberrations of the eye and an electronic calculator unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Essilor International (Compagnie Generale d'Optique)Inventors: Nicolas Chateau, Gildas Marin, Bruno Fermigier
