  • Method for simulating the effect of viewing an image through a colored filter or ophthalmic spectacle lens
    Patent number: 9378563
    Abstract: A method for simulating the effect of viewing an image through a colored filter or colored ophthalmic spectacle, contact, intraocular or other lens is described. This method includes using a computer program to alter the red (R), green (G) and blue (B) color brightness of the individual pixels of the original image and then displaying them on the display screen or other visual display device of a computer. Each pixel's original RGB brightness value is multiplied by a fraction, which is determined by the RGB transmission of the colored lens or filter. The altered image is then displayed to a system user who will see the original image, as it would appear if seen through the colored lens or filter.

  • Device using light emitting diodes for predicting the optical density and diagnostic color of sunglass or therapeutic lenses using contrast sensitivity information
    Patent number: 7204591
    Abstract: A device using light emitting diodes directed at the patient as a light source for evaluating the appropriate color and density of filters or sunglasses for a patient is disclosed. The device may be used with additional filters or sunglasses to determine what filter or sunglass color and density will provide optimal vision for targets of varying spatial frequency. The device may also be used with additional filters of varying color and density to determine the health of the patient's ocular media.
