A method and associated instrument in which an optical system is switched from a first to a second refractive power states, to provide a first, and then a second refraction correction to an eye of a subject, the switching being carried on without interrupting a light beam coming from a target object and transmitted by the optical system to the eye of the subject. The switching is carried on in order to circumvent an intermediate refraction correction that is in between said first and second refraction corrections, or with a speed higher than a given limit.

Method and instrument for providing at least one eye of a subject with a first refraction correction and with a second refraction correction to be compared with each other

A system for determining a prescription for an eye of a person, the system being configured to communicate with a mobile device including at least one first light source adapted to illuminate the eye with first light having a first optical wavelength, at least one second light source adapted to illuminate the eye with second light having a second optical wavelength different from the first wavelength, and a processor that measures the photorefraction of the eye at the first wavelength based on at least one picture of the eye recorded when illuminating the eye with first light, measures the photorefraction of the eye at the second wavelength based on at least one picture of the eye recorded when illuminating the eye with second light, determines the prescription for the eye based on the measured photorefraction at the first wavelength and the measured photorefraction at the second wavelength.

An optometry device for testing an individual's eye, includes a refraction test unit having an optical system for providing different vision correction powers close to the eye of the individual, and a display unit adapted to produce a visual test image for the individual's eye, the visual test image being visible through an exit aperture of the test unit of the optometry device. The display unit includes a screen adapted to display a test picture used in producing the visual test image and at least one optical element having an optical power. The optical element presents an active state in which it exhibits a non zero refraction power placed on an optical path of the light emitted by the screen and exiting the device through the exit aperture, and an inactive state in which it introduces no refractive power on the optical path.

Optometry device for testing an individual's eye and associated method

The method includes the steps of: a) illuminating the pupil of an eye of a subject by a light source of a portable electronic device, the light source being formed by a lighted area displayed on a screen of the portable electronic device; b) acquiring a picture of the pupil of the eye of the subject by an image-capture apparatus of the portable electronic device, the picture including an image of the reflection of the light source on the retina of the eye; and c) determining a refraction feature of the eye taking into account at least a geometrical feature, a positional feature or an intensity distribution of the image of the reflection. An associated portable electronic device is also described.

An optometry device for testing an individual's eye (E) comprises an imaging module () adapted to produce a first image at a variable distance for the individual's eye (E), a beam splitter () arranged to combine the first image and a second image for the individual's eye (E), and a screen () facing the beam splitter (). A mirror () is arranged in combination with the screen () to produce the second image to be visible by the individual's eye via the beam splitter ().

Optometry device

An optometry device for testing an individual's eye includes: a casing; an imaging module located in the casing and adapted to produce a light beam directed to the individual's eye; and a refraction module adapted to provide a variable optical correction to the individual's eye looking there through into the casing. The optometry device includes an illumination system adapted to produce a variable ambient light level inside the casing.
