Patents by Inventor PAUL LICHTENAUER

PAUL LICHTENAUER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11471041
    Abstract: A dark adapted perimetry method includes the steps of at least partially photobleaching an eye, selectively illuminating a plurality of stimulus target light sources at a predetermined luminance, and recording a response data including triggering an input device in response to the selective illumination. The plurality of stimulus target light sources define a stimulus target array positioned within a concave array guide. Each stimulus target light source is illuminated by a respective LED complex light source.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 16, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2022
    Assignee: Medmont International Pty Ltd
    Inventors: Paul Lichtenauer, Robert Heavyside
  • Publication number: 20220151487
    Abstract: An ophthalmological topographer is disclosed. The ophthalmological topographer includes a corneal topographer and a scleral measurement device including one or more scleral projection systems. Methods of determining topography are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10542882
    Abstract: A dark adapted perimetry device comprising a photobleaching device, a concave, array guide, the guide comprising a stimulus target array comprising a plurality of stimulus target light sources positioned within the guide and a control unit to selectively illuminate light sources comprised in the plurality of stimulus target light sources at a predetermined luminance is disclosed. The stimulus target light sources may be illuminated by a LED complex source comprising two or more LEDs. Also disclosed is a method using the perimetry device. A bleaching device comprising an eye piece for positioning the eye, a locator for moving the bleaching device into and out of the optical path, an imaging system for tracking the gaze direction or a fixation target, an illumination source and a bleach control device to control the brightness and pulse form of the illumination source is also disclosed along with a method of photobleaching.
