Abstract
An ophthalmic instrument for self-tonometry includes a body that houses a measurement device for measuring intraocular pressure of a user's eye and at least one anatomical fixation point for adjusting a distance between the anatomical fixation point and a center of the user's eye. An eye identification device attached to the body uses a gyroscope or other sensor to allow identification of a left eye or a right eye being measured.
Claims27
An ophthalmic instrument for self-tonometry comprising:
- a) a body having a functional symmetry with respect to an X-axis and an asymmetry with respect to a Y-axis, wherein rotation of the body about a Z-axis 180 degrees allows a user to measure a right eye or a left eye;
- and
- b) a measurement device positioned inside or on the body, wherein the measurement device measures intraocular pressure of a first eye and/or a second eye of the user;
- c) at least one anatomical fixation point that enables a user to adjust a distance between the at least one anatomical fixation point and a center of the first eye and/or the second eye of the user, wherein the at least one anatomical fixation point rests against a part of the user's anatomy and accommodates a range of distances for alignment of the user's first or second eye to the measurement device, as adjusted by the user;
- and
- d) an eye identification device attached to the body, the eye identification device comprising a sensor that detects rotation of the body about the Z-axis 180 degrees in relation to the Y-axis asymmetry of the body, which allows identification of a left eye or a right eye being measured.
3 more elements
An ophthalmic instrument for self-tonometry comprising:
- a) a body;
- b) at least two anatomical fixation points that enable a user to adjust a distance between the anatomical fixation points and a center of the first eye and/or the second eye of the user, wherein the anatomical fixation points rest against a part of the user's anatomy;
- c) a measurement device positioned inside or on the body, wherein the measurement device measures intraocular pressure of a first eye and/or a second eye of a user, with a first anatomical fixation point positioned on a first side of the measurement device and a second anatomical fixation point positioned on a second side of the measurement device;
- and
- d) an eye identification device attached to the body, the eye identification device comprising a sensor, such that when the body is fixated to the user via one of the anatomical fixation points the sensor senses the user in relation to the measurement device and allows identification of a left eye or a right eye being measured.

- c) a measurement device positioned inside or on the body, wherein the measurement device measures intraocular pressure of a first eye and/or a second eye of a user, with at least one anatomical fixation point positioned on a first side of the measurement device and at least one anatomical fixation point positioned on a second side of the measurement device, with the measurement device having a horizontal travel distance to accommodate a range of distances for horizontal alignment of the user's first eye and/or second eye to the measurement device, as adjusted by the user;
- and
- d) an eye identification device attached to the body, the eye identification device comprising a sensor, such that when the measurement device travels horizontally the sensor senses the measurement device in relation to the user and allows identification of a left eye or a right eye being measured.
