  • Patent number: 11857259
    Abstract: An eye measurement system includes an optical system. The eye measurement system is disposed in a housing which includes an aperture for providing light to and from the optical system and a subject's eye while the subject is separated and spaced apart from the housing, and the eye is not maintained in a fixed positional relationship with respect to the housing. An optical system movement arrangement moves the optical system. An automatic eye tracking arrangement ascertains a current positional relationship of the eye with respect to the optical system without human assistance, and in response thereto controls the optical system movement arrangement to move the optical system into a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the eye, for measurement of the eye, without human assistance. The eye measurement system can make objective, and/or subjective, refraction measurements of the eye.

  • Publication number: 20100277694
    Abstract: A geometric measurement system is adapted to precisely measure one or more surfaces of objects such as corneas, molds, contact lenses in molds, contact lenses, or other objects in a fixture. The geometric measurement system can employ one or more of three possible methods of measurement: Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing with wavefront stitching; phase diversity sensing; and white light interferometry.

  • Patent number: 6790688
    Abstract: An improved method of high pass filtering a data set includes flattening the data set and then filtering the flattened data set with an adaptive filter. The data set is flattened by fitting it to a predetermined function, and then obtaining the difference between the original data set and the fitted data set. Beneficially, the predetermined function is a polynomial. The adaptive filter includes a masking function that has a constant, non-zero value (e.g., 1) within the bounds of the original data set and value of zero outside the bounds of the original data set.
