HEADS-UP VISION ANALYZER
First Claim
1. A binocular vision analyzer apparatus for determining a prescription of visual aids for first and second eyes of an individual, the binocular vision analyzer apparatus comprising:
- first and second targets respectively corresponding to the first and second eyes of the individual;
at least one illuminator unit configured to illuminate the first and second targets;
an optical system configured to present a first virtual image of the first target so as to be viewable by the first eye and a second virtual image of the second target so as to be viewable by the second eye;
at least one beam splitter configured to be disposed in front of the first and second eyes so as to direct the first and second virtual images toward the respective first and second eyes;
first and second spherical correction devices respectively corresponding to the first and second eyes; and
first and second cylindrical correction devices respectively corresponding to the first and second eyes.

Abstract
A binocular vision analyzer apparatus is used for determining a prescription of visual aids for the eyes of an individual. The apparatus includes first and second targets respectively corresponding to the first and second eyes of the individual and at least one illuminator unit for illuminating the targets. An optical system is configured to present respective virtual images of the first and second targets so as to be viewable by the respective first and second eyes. At least one beam splitter disposed in front of the first and second eyes directs the virtual images toward the respective eyes. The apparatus also includes first and second spherical correction devices and first and second cylindrical correction devices that respectively correspond to the first and second eyes.

28. A method for determining a prescription of visual aids for first and second eyes of an individual, the method comprising:
-
providing first and second targets respectively corresponding to the first and second eyes of the individual; illuminating the first and second targets using at least one illumination device; presenting a first virtual image of the first target so as to be viewable by the first eye and a second virtual image of the second target so as to be viewable by the second eye using an optical system; disposing at least one beam splitter in front of the first and second eyes and directing the first and second virtual images toward the respective first and second eyes using the at least one beam splitter; selecting a spherical correction for each of the first and second eyes using respective first and second spherical correction devices; selecting a cylindrical correction for each of the first and second eyes using respective first and second cylindrical correction devices; and determining the prescription of visual aids for the first and second eyes based respectively on the selected spherical correction and cylindrical correction for the first and second eyes. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
