Self-prescribing automated phoropter with a virtual optometrist

A self-prescribing auto-phoropter system (100) for digital correction of an eye of a patient, the system (100) comprising:

• a. a head-mounted optometric device (110) comprising:
• i. a light source (116) configured to generate light;
• ii. a mirror (117) configured to reflect light generated by the light source (116) towards a beamsplitter (118);
• iii. the beamsplitter (118) configured to split the light into a first beam and a second beam, wherein the first beam is directed into the eye of the patient, wherein the second beam is directed into a wavefront sensor (114);
• iv. the wavefront sensor (114) configured to compare light reflected from the eye of the patient and the second beam to measure one or more wavefront errors;
• v. an audio transceiver (112) configured to transmit and receive audio data;
• vi. an assembly of tunable lenses (111) optically in line with a display component (113) and the beamsplitter (118), wherein the first beam is directed into the eye of the patient through a lens of the assembly of tunable lenses (111);
• vii. the display component (113) optically in line with the assembly of tunable lenses (111), configured to display an image;
• and
• viii. a communication component (115) communicatively coupled to the wavefront sensor (114), the audio transceiver (112), and the display component (113);
• and
• b. a virtual optometrist device (120) communicatively coupled to the communication component (115) of the head-mounted optometric device (110), comprising a cloud server (121) comprising a processor capable of executing computer-readable instructions, and a memory component comprising computer-readable instructions for:
• i. generating a visual eye exam;
• ii. displaying the visual eye exam to the patient through the display component (113);
• iii. receiving the one or more refractive errors from the optical measurement and correction component (114);
• iv. generating, based on the one or more refractive errors, an eye correction for the patient;
• v. applying one or more optometric procedures to optimize the eye correction;
• vi. transmitting audio instructions to the patient for the visual eye exam through the audio transceiver (112);
• vii. collecting verbal feedback to the audio instructions from the patient using the audio transceiver;
• and
• viii. generating, based on the optimized eye correction and the verbal feedback, a final optical prescription for the patient.
