20130076889 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND DISPLAY METHOD - A display device includes an image acquisition module which has an image sensor and a first focal plane, which captures a picture of an object, and an observation module which images the object such that a user can perceive it with his eye. A second focal plane is set by the observation module and the accommodation state of the eye, and with a measuring module for measuring the accommodation state of the eye. A control unit adjusts the position of the first focal plane on the basis of the measured accommodation state such that it coincides with the second focal plane. | 03-28-2013 |
20130076960 | IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGING METHOD - An imaging includes an image acquisition module which has an image sensor and a first lens system, having a focal plane, for imaging an object onto the image sensor, a display module which displays the image captured by means of the image acquisition module such that a user can perceive it with one eye, and a control unit. A measuring module is provided to the control unit for measuring the accommodation state (B | 03-28-2013 |
20130188843 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING VARIOUS BIOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF AN EYE BY INTERFEROMETRY - Determination of biometric parameters of an eye, in which the optical axis of the biometric measurement system is aligned to the optical axis of an eye. The device includes an interferometry measuring arrangement having a measurement light source and a measurement sensor, a fixation light source for capturing the eye with the reflexes that arise, an image sensor, and lens for detecting volume scattered light and an analysis unit for determining the angular deviation of the optical axis of the eye from the optical axis of the biometric measurement system. The analysis unit compares determined angular deviation to a predefined tolerance and, laterally displaces fixation marks on the basis of the calculated angular deviation, or of initiating the biometric measurement. | 07-25-2013 |
20130222763 | FUNDUS CAMERA WITH STRIP-SHAPED PUPIL DIVISION, AND METHOD FOR RECORDING ARTIFACT-FREE, HIGH-RESOLUTION FUNDUS IMAGES - A fundus camera for the recording of high-resolution colour images of the fundus of non-dark-adapted eyes, and without the use of a mydriatic. The fundus camera has a strip-shaped pupil division, and includes a coherent or incoherent illumination source with illumination optics, a deflection mirror and an ophthalmoscope lens for illuminating the eye, detection optics and a detector for detecting the light reflected by the eye, and a control and evaluation unit. The deflection mirror has a strip shape, and the spatially resolving detector can be activated and read out in sectors. The control and evaluation unit connects the data read out in sectors in the form of a bright image from the detector and produce a resulting fundus image. The fundus camera records images of the fundus when the eyes are not dark-adapted for this purpose and no mydriatic has been used. | 08-29-2013 |
20130335706 | DEVICE FOR INTERFEROMETRICALLY MEASURING THE EYE LENGTH AND THE ANTERIOR EYE SEGMENT - The invention relates to a solution for interferometrically measuring the eye length and the anterior eye segment after the optical axis of the measuring system has been aligned with the optical axis of an eye. The device according to the invention for interferometrically measuring the eye length and the anterior eye segment consists of an illumination source, at least one interferometric measuring array with external reference, diverse optical imaging systems, and a control and evaluation unit. The illumination source has high spatial coherence and low coherence of time. Preferably, light is emitted by the illumination device from the NIR range, having a wavelength of 700-1000 nm, for example. Furthermore, an optical imaging system is arranged in front of the eye such that the illumination light impinges on the eye as a nearly collimated beam. | 12-19-2013 |
20140078468 | SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE CORNEA OF AN EYE - A system for determining the surface shape of the cornea of an eye by analyzing the reflection of a spatially distributed ring pattern. The system includes an element for generating a ring pattern, an illuminating unit, an image capturing unit, and a control and analyzing unit. The element for generating rings is a fresneled axicon with annular structures of different radii. Furthermore, an optical element for illuminating the entire surface of the fresneled axicon with plane waves and an optical element for separating the illuminating and detecting beam path are arranged between the illuminating unit and the fresneled axicon. Furthermore, the image capturing unit consisting of an imaging system and an image sensor is designed for a telecentric distance-independent image detection. | 03-20-2014 |
20140232987 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMAGING AN OCULAR FUNDUS - An appliance for recording an image of an ocular fundus includes an irradiating device with a radiation source and optical components for generating an illumination strip. A scanning device is set up to cause a scanning movement of the illumination strip for the purpose of scanning the ocular fundus. An optoelectronic sensor senses detection light issuing from the ocular fundus. The optoelectronic sensor has a plurality of sensor rows and is set up such that charges contained in one sensor row are each shifted, with a time delay, into a further sensor row. A control means is connected to the scanning device and/or to the optoelectronic sensor and is set up to control the scanning movement and/or the time delay. | 08-21-2014 |
