Patent number: 12204175Abstract: A data record contains at least the following data values: spatial coordinates of a reference point at each eye of the wearer; a spatial direction vector for specifying a viewing direction of the wearer through the spectacle lens; and a spatial rim curve or edge curve. The data record can be used to produce a spectacle lens. A method and a computer program for generating the data record, and a method for producing the spectacle lens are also disclosed. It is possible to produce the spectacle lens after a single capture of a data record for adapting the spectacle lenses to the wearer of the pair of spectacles and to the spectacle frame selected by the wearer. A different spectacle lens as the spectacle lens originally selected can subsequently be used as the spectacle lens without having to record a further data record for the adaptation for the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2021Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Michael Gamperling, Helmut Wietschorke, Peter Johann Haas

Patent number: 11448903Abstract: Methods and devices for correcting centering parameters and/or an axial position of a spherocylindrical refraction on the basis of a habitual head position are disclosed. A representation of the head of a user in a head posture or a representation of the head with a spectacle frame in a spectacle frame alignment are displayed. To correct the spectacle parameter based on a corrected head posture and/or a corrected spectacle frame alignment, the corrected head posture and/or the corrected spectacle frame alignment is determined by at least partially manually correcting a head posture in the displayed representation of the head and/or of the spectacle frame alignment in the displayed representation of the head with the spectacle frame. A representation of the head of a user is shown on a display, thereby allowing intuitive adjustment of a habitual head position.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Michael Gamperling, Tobias Breuninger, Jesús-Miguel Cabeza-Guillén

Patent number: 10942375Abstract: A device for determining centering parameters for the adjustment of spectacles includes a camera support partially surrounding an inner area that is open at the top, bottom and to the rear; and at least three cameras arranged between two free ends of the camera support and pointing towards the inner area, the camera support having an illumination system in order to illuminate the inner area. The illumination system is designed to light the inner area such that the light intensity, at least at each point in a region extending over a height of 20 cm and a central angle of 180 degrees of an outer cylinder surface having a diameter of 20 cm and formed in the inner area, deviates by a maximum +50% and ?30% from a predefined desired value.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignees: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbH, Carl Zeiss AGInventors: Cristina Alvarez Diez, Tobias Breuninger, Michael Gamperling, Oliver Schwarz, Frank Widulle

Patent number: 10890786Abstract: In a method for determining at least one fitting parameter for a spectacle lens received in a spectacle frame, an image, lying in an image plane, of at least one portion of a spectacle frame worn by a subject is acquired. When acquiring the image, the inclination of the image plane about a horizontal axis which is parallel to the image plane is established and, in the process, the at least one fitting parameter is established from the acquired image of the portion of the subject with the spectacle frame worn by the subject and the established inclination of the image.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Jesus-Miguel Cabeza-Guillen, Subhashini Mani, Michael Gamperling

Patent number: 10890784Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer programs for determining a near-vision point of a person are disclosed. The person under examination looks at a movable near-vision target, and an image of the person is captured with a camera device incorporated into the near-vision target. The orientation and/or position of the near-vision target is determined. The near-vision point is then determined from the orientation and/or position of the near-vision target.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Michael Gamperling, Cristina Alvarez Diez, Carsten Glasenapp

Patent number: 8827451Abstract: An eyesight testing apparatus examines associated heterophoria of the eyes of a subject. The apparatus includes an image generation device having a display unit for generating test patterns for display to the eyes. An optical assembly is arranged on that side of the display unit facing the eyes. This assembly separates light supplied by a first group of selected zones of the display unit from light supplied to a beam path by a second group of selected zones of the display unit. The left eye only receives the light from the first group. The light from the second group only passes to the right eye. The optical assembly includes a prism matrix having a multiplicity of prism portions extending in the vertical direction and each having a lens-shaped region with a convex surface facing the display unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Jesus-Miguel Cabeza Guillen, Michael Gamperling, Matthias Kubitza
