  • SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE ACCOMMODATION DEMAND DETECTION IN AN ARTIFICIAL ACCOMMODATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20170188896
    Abstract: A control system for controlling an accommodation demand detection in an ophthalmic technical system includes at least one sensor configured to detect a signal sequence from a body itself or an environmental signal sequence and to convert the detected signal sequence into measurement signals, and at least one detector configured to convert the measurement signals into a control signal that influences the accommodation demand detection. The detector includes a signal processor configured to compare the measurement signals with a reference signal bandwidth and to generate the control signal When the measurement signals are covered by a predetermined reference signal bandwidth.

  • Sensor system for determining the control signals activating ciliary muscles
    Patent number: 9144376
    Abstract: In a sensor system for determining the control signal supplied to the ciliary muscles of an eye for adjusting the focal length of the lens of an eye, a contact element of an electrically non-conductive material and provided with sensors is disposed on the cornea of the eye so that the sensors are arranged in contact with an annular area of the cornea next to the ciliary eye muscles so as to be able to sense the focal adjustment signals supplied to the ciliary muscles and the sensed adjustment signals are supplied to a signal processing unit which provides a control signal to a lens system with adjustable focal length for adjusting the focal length thereof depending on the focal adjustment signals of the ciliary eye muscles.
