A method, a device, and a computer program for determining a refractive error of at least one eye of a user are disclosed, as well as a method for producing a spectacles lens for the user. The method includes: displaying at least one symbol on a screen, wherein at least one parameter of the symbol displayed on the screen is changed; detecting eye movement metrics of the eye of the user according to the symbol displayed on the screen; establishing a point in time at which a recognition threshold of the user is revealed for the symbol displayed on the screen from the eye movement metrics of the eye of the user; and determining a value for the refractive error of the eye of the user from the at least one parameter established at the point in time.

A computer-implemented method for operating an optometry device includes the following steps: generating a first data set including information about a distance of a user of the optometry device to an object and tuning a tunable lens of the optometry device based on the distance of the user of the optometry device to the object based on the first data set. The first data set is generated by using a LiDAR sensor, which measures the distance of the user of the optometry device to the object by evaluating a scene represented by the first data set.

The method for determining includes: displaying an image with a spatial modulation to the user; optionally, recording a reaction of the user to a variation of the spatial modulation over time; detecting a point in time at which a perception threshold of the user is reached; and determining the refractive error of the user from the spatial modulation, wherein the image contains a source image with several picture elements, wherein values for an image parameter are assigned to the picture elements, and wherein the spatial modulation is generated such that the values of the image parameter determine the values of a modulation parameter of the spatial modulation in the image.

A series of images of light coming from an eye are captured with varying optical powers, and the refractive error is then calculated based directly on the series of images used as approximate point spread functions. The calculation includes determining a modulation transfer area as a function of meridian angle and optical power in an angle range from 0° to 180° based on the series of images, and to calculate the refractive error based on the modulation transfer area as a function of angle and optical power.

A spectacle lens for at least one eye of a user, a method for producing a spectacle lens, and a computer program product having executable instructions for performing the method for producing the spectacle lens are disclosed. The spectacle lens has a permanent marking which is or contains a diffractive structure, wherein a diffractive pattern generated by illumination of the diffractive structure is configured to be invisible upon a first kind of illumination and configured to be visible only upon a second kind of illumination. The permanent markings on the spectacle lens are, on one hand, invisible to the user or to a spectator looking at the user wearing the spectacle lens without utilizing specially selected optical aids but, on the other hand, enables continued control of the spectacle lens in front of the eye of the user by an optician or a specifically designated optical sensor.
