Publication number: 20230363637Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and techniques are disclosed for enabling a remote vision examination for a user accessing a system having a user device, a display, and a sensor. In some implementations, a communication session is established over a network between the user device and at least a first provider device included in one or more provider devices. Calibration data is obtained from the user device during the remote session. An egocentric distance is determined between the user and the user device based on the calibration data. A determination that a set of criteria are satisfied is made based on the egocentric distance and the calibration data. A remote vision examination is administered in response to the determination that the set of criteria are satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventor: William K.

Publication number: 20230346218Abstract: An ophthalmic technician is present with a patient in an exam room to operate eye examination equipment and transmit patient information to remote location. At that remote location, a skilled technician is present to provide the necessary optical care, and may operate the phoropter from the remote location. Using video and/or teleconferencing equipment and a phoropter located in the patient examination room along with management software, the system works to determine the final optical prescription for the patient. That information, coupled with findings from other devices which are integrated with the management software, and that the patient uses locally, are reviewed by a remote-based optometrist or ophthalmologist.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Howard S.
