A field tester wherein a patient's tested eye is located at the center of an interior hemisphere defining a projection surface and wherein a light spot is projected onto said surface from an eccentric location is disclosed. Optics in common with the projector assure that the off-center projected light is of constant intensity and diameter as selected for each test sequence according to test criteria. Specifically, a filament light source is projected to a collimating lens. The light source is re-imaged to a system lens stop. There is a movable aperture between the collimating lens and the first lens of telescopic optics for projecting the image of the aperture onto the projection surface of the sphere. By using a coordinate transform to predict the distance from the point of light source projection to the projection surface of the sphere, the movable aperture is registered to a conjugate distance with respect to the telescope optics. Aperture registration insures projection of a constant image of the aperture to any point along sphere surface. There results a field testing spot of constant diameter and intensity, according to selected image criteria, in spite of a continuously changing distance between the point of projection and projecting surface on the inside projection hemisphere. An apertured finder for centering of the patient's eye is also disclosed wherein relay optics projecting a real image of the patient's eye as viewed through a peep hole assure a wide angle view of the eye being tested. The eye is viewed through an aperture having a sight that does not significantly interfere with the test being conducted.

Methods and systems for measuring optical aberrations of an eye are provided. In one embodiment, the present invention provides transmitting light from the eye along an optical path to an aberration sensor. An adaptive optic is disposed along the optical path between a target optical system and the aberration sensor. Aberrations of the adaptive optic can be adjusted in response to a signal generated by the aberration sensor so as to provide a desired sensed aberration. The shape of the adjusted adaptive optic can be determined with the aberration sensor by transmitting an adaptive optic configuration measurement beam along the optical path.

A form assembly is suitable for mailing and includes a front sheet comprising a fold line that separates a first section and a second section of the front sheet. Each section defines a foldable flap along the fold line. Adhesive material is disposed on the back inner face of the front sheet. The form assembly also includes a back sheet comprising at least one die-cut. The die-cut substantially conforms to the second section and a receiving area of the front sheet. Adhesive release material is disposed on the front inner face of the back sheet. Once the die-cut is removed, one of the foldable flaps can be folded along the fold line and adhesively bound to a receiving area of the front sheet that is adjacent to the fold line, thereby resulting in a multi-ply form having a substantially uniform thickness.

An autorefractor system in an ultra-compact package is described for rapidly and objectively measuring the refractive state of the eye. The autorefractor detector system, in conjunction with a secondary light source, uses one photodetector such as a charge coupled device (“CCD”) or one photodiode, to intercept a light beam at two distances from a secondary retinal light source created by one relay lens, one pupil emitter conjugate lens and one pupil detector conjugate lens, as well as a field lens. The signals produced by the photodetector are used to determine the full spherocylindrical refraction of the eye. A novel illumination and imaging system provides multiple capabilities to image the eye, control accommodation, and acquire and maintain optical alignment, while obtaining other measurements of the eye.

Adaptions of lensmeter optical trains are disclosed for enabling the measurement of contact lenses without the interference of spherical aberration from the highly meniscus lens formats of contact lenses. A generic system of measurement of the contact lenses when off of the eye is introduced by having light incident to or passing from the suspect contact lenses at an approximate aplanatic condition of the contact lens. The approximate aplanatic condition is determined by taking the average power of the posterior and anterior surfaces of the contact lenses for the general population--approximately 8 mm, assuming an index of refraction of approximately 1.5--calculating the aplanatic condition for such a "surface," and having light incident on the lenses for the interrogation of the lenses approximate the aplanatic condition. Modification of four optical trains for contact lens measurement is disclosed, including a Badal type optical train, a typical focusing lensmeter, an automated lensmeter utilizing mask pattern with photodetector array, and a lens system with a matrix of light focusing lenses.

Plastics, particularly a method of hydrophilic coating of plastics, for example, a contact lens, with a lubricating and visually acute mucopolysaccharide film which is immobilized upon the surface of the plastic for the lifetime of the plastic. A preferred method includes first coating the plastic with an aqueous solution of a mucopolysaccharide, drying by applying a water-miscible solvent, then crosslinking and permanently immobilizing the first coating upon the plastic by applying a solution of catalyzed organic solution aliphatic polyisocyanates.

Apparatus and methods for limiting a radio frequency (RF) signal are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a detector configured to generate a detection signal based on a power of a RF signal on a signal path. A bias circuit may bias a switch circuit to dynamically limit the RF signal based on the detection signal.
摘要:
Devices systems, and methods can characterize an optical surface of an object. A wavefront sensor system focuses light energy propagating from the object to form a pattern on a detector. The system maps the pattern to an array with a transform function such as a Fourier transform. The values of array correspond to characteristic locations and signals in a transform space, for example an intensity of spatial frequency signals in frequency space. The characteristic location and intensity of these signals in transform space are used to measure the optical surface. For example, a characteristic frequency of a spatial frequency intensity peak in Fourier transform space can be used to estimate the location of spots on the detector. Alternatively, the characteristics can be used to the measure sphere, cylinder and axis of a wavefront, wavefront elevation maps and point spread functions, often without locating positions of individual spots on the detector.

Devices, systems, and methods often by measuring characterize optical structures and systems, the standard refractive error and irregular aberrations. A retinal spot can propagate through optical tissues of an eye and can be directed to refractive correction optics for correcting standard refractive errors. The corrected image is then directed to wavefront analysis optics, which form a coarse pitch lenslet array pattern and a fine pitch lenslet array pattern. The coarse pitch pattern indicates the standard refractive error of the eye, and can be used to adjust the refractive correction optics. The fine pitch pattern is formed with the corrected retinal image, facilitating precise wavefront reconstruction, measurement of high order aberrations, and the like. The coarse pitch pattern and fine pitch pattern may be formed sequentially or simultaneously.
