  • Patent number: 11871992
    Abstract: A subjective optometry system includes a plurality of subjective optometry devices and a database which stores at least any data of objective measurement data and previous glass data in association with each identifier. Each of the subjective optometry devices includes a calibration optical system, an information processor, and a reader which is connected to the information processor, reads an identifier prepared for each examinee, and outputs information about the read identifier to the information processor. The information processor acquires at least one of the objective measurement data and the previous glass data corresponding to the identifier from the database based on the identifier received from the reader, and sets an initial value of the calibration optical system used on an occasion of subjectively measuring optical characteristics of a subject eye based on at least one of the objective measurement data and the previous glass data.

  • Publication number: 20230143549
    Abstract: This optometry system, for presenting a test chart to an eye being tested and subjectively measuring an optical characteristic of the eye being tested, is provided with a setting means which sets a reference value based on the subject's reaction time to a test chart, a reaction input means which inputs the response of the subject reading the test chart, a control means which automatically advances the test on the basis of an input signal from the response input means, and a guidance information output means which, on the basis of the reference value set by the testing means, outputs guidance information for guiding the subject to input a response during testing of the eye being tested. Hereby, it is possible to accurately carry out a subjective test on the eye being tested.
