Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing an assessment of vision-related health conditions for a user. A questionnaire regarding a user's identity and health history is displayed on a display mounted to a station. At least one interactive test image for assessing visual acuity is displayed on the display mounted to a station. An assessment is performed of vision-related health conditions for the user based on the user's response to the at least one interactive test image. At least one professional services and one marketing option is displayed. Instructions to the user for obtaining a copy of the assessment of vision-related health conditions for the user are displayed.

Abstract: A self-contained, free-standing vision-based health assessment/vision correction prescription system is provided, with a variety of health assessment sensors and vision correction sensors offered in a single, self-contained, Internet-connected facility that allows automated fulfillment of items that address the needs of a user that are determined by a vision/health assessment.

Abstract: A system comprising a kiosk is provided where the kiosk is for assessment of a user's needs including, for example, vision needs. A method of assessing a user's needs and a method of advertising products and services such as vision related products and services are further provided.

Abstract: A system and method for helping ensure that a user of a computer is set up to optimally view the computer monitor under optimal conditions in order to minimize eyestrain. The system includes determining an optimal viewing distance and monitoring the distance of a user from the computer monitor during use of the computer. The system further includes notifying the user when they stray from the optimal viewing distance and further may include testing various aspects of the user's eyesight during use of the computer monitor.

Abstract: An optical probe assembly for detecting the position of an object surface, especially the position of a three-dimensional, curved surface such as a surface in a contact lens or the cornea of the eye, is disclosed herein. This assembly and its method of operation use a beam of light which is focused to a point and an arrangement for automatically causing this point to move or scan in a predetermined way relative to the object surface including reciprocally through the surface for causing light to be reflected back from the latter. During this scanning period, when the beam point is coincident with the object surface, the amount of light which is reflected back along the path of the incident beam is maximized and automatically detected. At the same time, the position of the beam point relative to a known reference is automatically monitored and in combination with the detected light is used for determining the position of the object surface relative to this reference.
