  • Method and means for evaluating toric contact lens rotational stability
    Patent number: 11509755
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and means for enabling contact lens wearers to photograph their own eyes using an electronic device with a camera such as an iPhone with a macro lens, for example, Olloclip® Macro Pro Lens Set 7× lens, and a custom three-dimensional printed eyecup attachment. The eyecup attachment is designed to position the camera at a suitable and reproducible distance from the eye to ensure that the system can focus appropriately on the lens details. The eyecup attachment also serves to block stray light and diffuse the ambient lighting. In addition, the eyecup attachment ensures that the camera is held in the correct orientation while photos are being captured. The capture images are analyzed using image processing software to determine the angel of rotation of the contact lens.
