Abstract: An apparatus for screening, treatment, monitoring and/or assessment of visual impairments, comprising electronic means for simultaneously applying two separate and unrelated processing methods to images presented to a patient's eyes; a first processing method being applied to an non-amblyopic eye (the eye with the better vision), and a second processing method being applied to an amblyopic eye (the weaker eye, or the impaired eye). A method for screening, treatment, monitoring and/or assessment of visual impairments, comprising: a. defining a starting point, wherein differences between a patient's eyes are completely, or as closely as practically possible, corrected, to enable two identical or similar images to be transferred to the brain from the patient's eyes; b. defining an ending point, wherein there is no correction applied to any of the patient's eyes; c.

Abstract: An objective phoropter utilizing an illuminated keratometric object projecting its illumination onto the subject's cornea, and imaging the reflection therefrom in an imaging camera. Image processing of these images is used to improve the focusing and centering of the cornea subject's eyes. Once the correctly focused position of the eyes is obtained relative to the keratometer object, an accurate longitudinal position of the eyes relative to the lens wheel assemblies can also be achieved. This results in more accurate prescription generation than in prior art systems where the eyes may not be accurately positioned relative to the lens wheels. Additionally, the lens combinations of the entire phoropter wheel can be calibrated using an artificial eye having adjustable levels of aberration. Each lens combination is adjusted to supposedly correct a selected aberration level, and any residual aberration measured represents the correction to be applied to that lens combination.
