FUNCTIONAL VISION TESTER
First Claim
1. A vision testing device comprising:
- a partition defining a first side and a second side;
an electronic device operable to project a first image to the first side and a second image to the second side, the first image and the second image comprising computer-generated images, wherein the first image is identical to but offset from the second image;
a mirror extending from the first side to the second side and positioned to reflect the first image and the second image;
a first viewing lens in optical communication with the first side and configured to receive the first image reflected from the mirror; and
a second viewing lens in optical communication with the second side and configured to receive the second image reflected from the mirror.

Abstract
A vision testing device includes a partition defining a first side and a second side and an electronic device operable to project a first image to the first side and a second image to the second side. The first image and the second image comprise computer-generated images, and the first image is identical to but offset from the second image. A mirror extends from the first side to the second side and is positioned to reflect the first image and the second image. A first viewing lens is in optical communication with the first side and configured to receive the first image reflected from the mirror. A second viewing lens is in optical communication with the second side and configured to receive the second image reflected from the mirror.

20. A vision testing device comprising:
-
an outer hood enclosing an internal space, the internal space including an electronic device operable to project a computer-generated first image and a computer-generated second image, the second image offset from the first image; a partition disposed to separate the first image from the second image; and a viewing member coupled to the outer hood for providing viewing access to the internal space, the viewing member including a first viewing lens configured to receive the first image; and a second viewing lens configured to receive the second image.

21. A method of testing the vision of a test subject using a single vision testing apparatus, the method comprising:
-
providing a subject viewing space including a first pair of view windows and a second pair of view windows; projecting a first image using an image projecting system, the first image arranged to be viewed by the left eye of the test subject; projecting a second image using the image projecting system, the second image arranged to be viewed by the right eye of the test subject, the second image being at least one of different than the first image and identical but offset from the first image; and separating the first image and the second image such that the first image is not viewable by the right eye at the same time that the second image is viewed by the left eye. - View Dependent Claims (22)

23. A vision testing system autonomously operable to evaluate the vision of a plurality of different test subjects having different backgrounds, the vision testing system comprising:
-
a computer including a database of vision tests, each vision test having a pass/fail criteria based at least in part on the background of the test subject; a monitor coupled to the computer and operable in response to the computer to display a left side image and a right side image; a divider positioned to separate the left side image and the right side image; a first viewing station including a first viewing port arranged to selectively provide a view of the left side image and the right side image and a second viewing port arranged to selectively provide a view of the left side image and the right side image; a first optics path positioned to direct the left side image and the right side image to the first viewing port, the first optics path arranged to simulate a near field view of the left side image and the right side image; and a second optics path different than the first optics positioned to direct the left side image and the right side image to the second viewing port, the second optics path arranged to simulate a far field view of the left side image and the right side image. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A vision testing system operable to perform a plurality of optical tests, the vision testing system comprising:
-
a video image producing device operable to produce a left side image and a right side image; a mechanical divider positioned to separate the left side image and the right side image; a first optics path positioned to direct the left side image and the right side image to the first viewing port, the first optics path arranged to simulate a near field view of the left side image and the right side image; a second optics path different than the first optics path and arranged to simulate a far field view of the left side image and the right side image; a computer operable to select an optical standard to be tested against from a plurality of stored standards, the computer also operable to select the right side image and the left side image based on the optical test being performed and the standard being tested and to compare the test results to the selected standard for the selected optical test to determine if the test subject passes or fails the test.
