1. An optical diagnostic device comprising:
- an adjustable viewing target for viewing with a first eye of a patient at a plurality of viewing distances;
an adaptive optics system disposed along an optical path between the first eye and the viewing target; and
a processor coupled to the adaptive optics system and transmitting signals thereto, the adaptive optics system assuming a candidate presbyopia-mitigating configuration in response to the signals.

Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods measure, diagnose, and/or treat one or both eyes of a patient. Adaptive optics systems (such as those having a deformable mirror) may be configured to an aspherical or multi-spherical presbyopia-mitigating prescriptive shape to allow objective and/or subjective measurements of a candidate prescription. A plurality of viewing distances allow subjective and/or objective evaluations of performance using a light spot or a test viewing image. Measurements of aberrations at selected viewing conditions (including distances and/or brightness) with correlating pupil sizes may also be provided.

20. An optical diagnostic device comprising:
-
an adjustable viewing target;
an optical path for coupling a first eye of a patient with the viewing target;
an input coupled to the viewing target for adjusting at least one of a brightness level or a viewing distance so as to induce changes in a size of a pupil of the first eye between a first pupil size and a second pupil size; and
a measurement device oriented toward the first eye while the first eye views the target, the measurement device transmitting a first pupil size signal corresponding to the first pupil size and a second pupil size signal corresponding to the second pupil size. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)

24. An optical diagnostic device for evaluating an eye comprising:
-
a viewing target having a first viewing configuration with a first viewing distance and a second viewing configuration with a second viewing distance, the viewing target coupleable to the eye by an optical path;
a wavefront sensor coupled to the optical path so as to measure a first wavefront when the viewing target is in the first configuration and a second wavefront when the viewing target is in the second configuration; and
a processor coupled to the wavefront sensor, the processor determining at least one accommodation of the eye using a difference between the first measured wavefront and the second measured wavefront. - View Dependent Claims (25)

26. An optical diagnostic method comprising:
-
optically coupling a viewing target with a first eye using an adaptive optics system;
configuring the adaptive optics system so as to correspond to a candidate presbyopia-mitigating refractive correction;
determining performance of the candidate correction while the viewing target is separated from the eye by a first viewing distance; and
determining presbyopia-mitigating performance of the candidate correction while the viewing target is separated from the eye by a second viewing distance. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)

29. An optical diagnostic method comprising:
-
viewing a target with an eye under a first set of viewing conditions;
measuring a first pupil size and a first aberration of the eye under the first viewing conditions;
viewing with the eye under a second set of viewing conditions that are different than the first set of viewing conditions so as to induce the eye to change from the first pupil size to a second pupil size; and
measuring the second pupil size and a second aberration of the eye under the second viewing conditions. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32)

33. A method comprising:

measuring an eye while the eye is viewing at a first viewing distance;
measuring the eye while the eye is viewing at a second viewing distance; and
determining an accommodation of the eye from a difference between the first eye measurement at the first viewing distance and the second eye measurement at the second viewing distance. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36)
