  • Optical device and optometric equipment comprising such an optical device
    Patent number: 12222577
    Abstract: An optical device including a lens and a control member configured such that motion of the control member produces a change in the optical power provided along an optical axis of the lens. The optical device further includes a framework, a motor and a driving member. The motor includes an output shaft rotatively coupled to said driving member. The motor and the control member are mounted in the framework such that the driving member and the control member mechanically cooperate. The driving member is rotatably mounted in the framework. The optical device comprises biasing means for maintaining the driving member in a predetermined axial position along the output shaft axis and relative to the framework. This optical device can be used in an optometric equipment.
