3-3: Outline of Operation of Eyesight Measuring System Hereinafter, a case will be described in which the eyesight measuring system is realized on a network such as the Internet (wide area computer network) using a homepage or the like.

First, the glasses processing center 1002 is
A home page is set up on the Internet by the W server 1010. The user is a user terminal 1 of the counter booth 1 connected to the wide area computer network.
No. 01, such as a WWW browser, accesses the user information registration unit 1003 using the homepage of the glasses processing center 1002 as an interface, and requests visual acuity measurement. The glasses processing center 1002 is a WWW
The user authentication means of the server 1010 authenticates the user as a legitimately registered member based on the user's password and / or the user authentication information of the user identifier (ID), and then processes the glasses. The user information registration unit 1003 of the center 1002 writes and manages information requested to be registered by a user via a wide area computer network and transmitted to a user information database.

At this time, if it is determined that the user is a user who uses the visual acuity measuring system for the first time, basic attributes such as an address, a name, a date of birth, a telephone number, the condition of eyes (the hand is hard to see). The user terminal 10 of the counter booth 1 displays a basic attribute input screen for inputting a request for glasses, etc.
1 and the user inputs necessary items through the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 and the glasses processing center 10
02. In addition, the user has a password and / or
Alternatively, a user member identifier (ID) or the like is also registered, and the user information registration unit 1003 writes and manages information from the user in a user information database via a wide area computer network.

FIGS. 15 to 21 show examples of the structure of each database managed by the storage means 1005 in the glasses processing center 1002. FIG. In the user information database, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, information such as a user code, a user identifier (ID), a user password, an address, a name, a date of birth, a telephone number, etc. This is a database for storing user information, including user data, including attributes. In the user information, data input to the user information registration screen transmitted to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 by the user information registration unit 1003 is registered. Note that data need not always be registered for all items. The user information identifier (ID) and the password may be determined at the service center based on the user information obtained off-line, or may be automatically given at the first access from the user. good.

The reference database for measuring visual acuity includes the purpose of use, age, previous frequency, binocular visual acuity at the previous frequency, left-right balance at the previous frequency, years of use of front glasses, type of contact Case), data such as the desired corrected visual acuity and the presence or absence of a disease related to the visual acuity are stored.

The visual acuity measurement database stores data such as naked eye acuity, corrected visual acuity, interpupillary distance, distance correction power, near correction power, measurement date, and power determiner. The eyesight table database stores data indicating the relationship between the frequency and the Landolt's ring.

The myopia information database registers and manages the degree of myopia, the relationship between myopia and visual acuity, the type (frequency) of myopia, and the treatment method. This is an eye in which parallel rays entering the eye form an image at a point in front of the retina (the far point is finite before the eye). The degree of myopia is represented by the reciprocal of the far point distance (for example, far point distance = 50 cm).
1 / 0.5 = 2D. Table 1 shows the relationship between myopia and visual acuity. The types of myopia (frequency) are as follows. Mild myopia (-4D), moderate myopia (-4D to -7)
D), strong myopia (-7D to -10D), strongest myopia (-10D or more) A moderate concave lens is worn as a treatment for myopia.

In the hyperopia information database, the degree of hyperopia, the type of hyperopia, and a hyperopia treatment method are registered and managed. Note that hyperopia is an eye in which parallel rays entering the eye form an image at a point behind the retina when the eye is not making any adjustment (the far point is a finite posterior eye). The degree of hyperopia is represented by the reciprocal of the far-point distance (for example, far-point distance = 50 cm 1 / 0.5 = 2D). The type of hyperopia is represented by the frequency, for example, as follows. Mild hyperopia (+ 4D), moderate hyperopia (+ 4D to +7)
D), Intense hyperopia (+ 7D) A moderate convex lens is worn as a treatment for hyperopia.

The astigmatism degree, the type of astigmatism, and the treatment method are registered and managed in the astigmatism information database. Note that astigmatism means that parallel rays entering the eye do not form an image when the eye is not making any adjustments. The types of astigmatism are
It is as follows. Regular astigmatism (symmetrical asymmetry of the refracting surface) Irregular astigmatism (different degrees of inflection in the same meridian and no imaging) Treatment of astigmatism is as follows. Uniform astigmatism (wearing a moderate cylindrical lens) Compound astigmatism (wearing a combination of a cylindrical lens and a spherical lens) Irregular astigmatism (wearing a contact lens)

3-3: Method of measuring visual acuity First, the visual acuity measuring device 103 in the counter booth 1
An outline of a method for measuring the visual acuity performed by the naked eye will be described. The user closes one eye with his / her hand and looks at the naked eye visual acuity measurement screen (FIG. 22) with one eye. The naked eye visual acuity measurement screen (Fig. 22)
Shows a point to be watched with one eye. The user fixes his or her neck and measures the naked eye visual acuity (Fig. 22).
Constant distance from For example, put your neck on the palm of your hand to secure your face and your elbows on the desk. The Landolt ring 1.0 of the visual acuity chart is represented by a point “x” on the screen by the visual acuity measuring device 103. The visual acuity measuring device 103 determines the distance from the naked eye visual acuity measurement screen (FIG. 22) and displays a visual acuity table having a size corresponding to a visual acuity of 1.0. One eye looks at the Landolt's ring of the eyesight chart (FIG. 23). The visual acuity measuring device 103 asks the touch panel 107 by voice or voice message on the touch panel 107 a message "Do you see a vacant ring?" If it can be seen, the user touches “YES” on the touch panel 107 (answers by voice). Further, the eyesight measuring device 10
3 transmits the inquiry screen to the touch panel 107, continues to ask the question "Where is free" on the inquiry screen of the touch panel 107, and changes the direction in which the Landolt ring is available to "up,
The user is allowed to select from eight directions of “down, left, right, upper left, lower left, lower left, upper right, lower right”, and touch the button on the touch panel 107 (answer by voice). If the directions match, a visual acuity table of degree 1.2 is displayed, and the same procedure is repeated. If not visible or if the direction of vacancy is wrong, a visual acuity table lower than the visual acuity before the visual acuity measuring device 103 is displayed on the touch panel 107, and the same procedure is repeated. The visual acuity measuring device 103 determines the correct frequency immediately before the visual acuity in which the error has continued twice as naked eye acuity. Then do the same for the other eye.

Next, a method of measuring the corrected visual acuity performed by the visual acuity measuring device 103 in the counter booth 1 will be described. The visual acuity measuring device 103 inputs the next naked-eye visual acuity data. The naked-eye visual acuity data includes data measured by the procedure of the above-described “method of measuring naked-eye visual acuity”, prescription data of an ophthalmologist, and previous visual acuity data managed by the glasses processing center 1002. The glasses processing center 1002, based on the input naked eye visual acuity data, corrects the visual acuity measurement data using a lens such that the corrected visual acuity is 1.2 for each eye,
The information is transmitted to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 and displayed on the visual acuity measuring device 103. That is, the “Landolt ring that is likely to be seen” is displayed on the corrected vision measurement screen of the vision measurement device 103. The visual acuity measuring device 103 measures the appearance of about 1.2 degrees by looking at the Landolt ring displayed on the screen of the visual acuity measuring device 103 with the naked eye with one eye closed. If you can see well, touch the check button “look good” on the touch panel 107, and
In 3, the frequency is determined as the corrected visual acuity. If the user cannot see the image, the user touches the check button “I cannot see well” on the touch panel 107.

The astigmatism inspection step is performed by the visual acuity measuring device 10.
3, a visual acuity table showing four Landolt rings with the mouth open immediately above, right below, 90 degrees to the left, and 90 degrees to the right 90 degrees is displayed, and the user can use the Landolt ring on the vision correction screen after correction. Based on the appearance, it is possible to determine the astigmatism and the axis of the astigmatism. The frequency determination points at the time of astigmatism measurement are as follows. By slowly rotating the Landolt ring, it is checked whether or not there is a position where a break in the Landolt ring is connected. If there is a connected position, an instruction is given at that time with the joystick 103b on the post-correction visual acuity measurement screen. The axis of astigmatism (AXIS) is specified by the visual acuity measuring device 103 based on the designated position. The same test is performed several times, and if there is a variation, the visual acuity measuring device 103 displays the corrected visual acuity measurement screen to which the spherical power (SPH) is added, and performs the same test again. If the break is not connected, the visual acuity measuring device 103 determines that there is no astigmatism in the visual acuity measuring device 103 by touching the check button “not connected” on the corrected visual acuity measuring screen of the touch panel 107. Further, the visual acuity measuring device 103 displays a radial index image, and the visual acuity measuring device 103 determines the position of the darkest line and the lightest line on the corrected visual acuity measurement screen, and instructs the position with the joystick 103b. Thus, the visual acuity measuring apparatus 103 specifies the axis of astigmatism (AXIS). If astigmatism has been identified, a visual acuity table showing a Landolt's ring after correcting the astigmatism is displayed on the screen, and the appearance is checked.

When the correction can be made to the degree of 1.2, it is determined that the corrected visual acuity is obtained. Corrected eyesight is described as "I want to correct exactly = 1.
"2", "I want to loosen = 0.8", and "Normal = 1.0" are set so that they can be selected. For those who wish to use for both distance and near, both distance and near can be measured.

For a person who wishes to use pre-existing reading glasses, the presbyopia power which can be judged from the age can be determined. The power determination system at the time of measuring presbyopia is as follows. The user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 uses the questionnaire screen of the touch panel 107 transmitted from the glasses processing center 1002 to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 to display the age, occupation, use of glasses, hobbies, sports, presence of illness, etc. Enter The frequency under the above conditions is determined in advance based on the user database of the glasses processing center 1002. The addition power is determined by linking.

Thus, in the case of myopia, the degree of myopia,
Data on the relationship between the degree of myopia and visual acuity and the type (frequency) of myopia are extracted from the myopia information database and displayed. In the case of hyperopia, the degree of hyperopia and the type (frequency) of hyperopia are extracted from the hyperopia information database and displayed. In the case of astigmatism, it is extracted from the astigmatism information database based on the degree of astigmatism, the relationship between the Landolt's ring and the frequency, and the relationship between the axes of astigmatism, and displayed.

The visual acuity measurement result of the visual acuity measuring device 103 is transmitted to the touch panel 107, for example, as shown in FIG.
