[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an optometry apparatus for performing optometry on an eye to be examined, and more particularly to an optometry apparatus capable of performing binocular simultaneous objective refraction measurement and subjective refraction measurement.
[0002]
[Prior art]
At present, optometry for the purpose of spectacle prescription is a method for determining the correction power of a spectacle lens by performing one-eye complete correction power measurement or binocular balance test by subjective refraction measurement based on the measurement result of objective refraction measurement. Generally taken. In the spectacle prescription by such a method, the refractive power of the eye to be examined is often accurately determined by a red / green test at the final stage.
[0003]
For example, as described in Non-Patent Document 1 below, this red-green test is a visual target (red-green visual target; also referred to as a red-green chart) that is presented in red and green using eye chromatic aberration. ) Is a test to compare the clarity of) based on the response of the subject.
[0004]
Patent Document 1 below discloses an optometry apparatus that measures the subjective refractive power of an eye based on a predetermined optometry program including a red / green test. The optometry apparatus has a configuration for alerting an unskilled examiner by displaying a message such as “Attention to accommodation intervention, especially young people” at the time of measurement. Based on this, a configuration is provided in which inspection efficiency is improved by switching execution / non-execution of the red / green test.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
[0007]
By the way, in recent years, the number of people wearing refractive power correction tools such as eyeglasses is increasing, and as a result, the need for optometry for prescription is also increasing. In addition, because of the rapid progress in the fashion of eyeglasses, not only hospitals and clinics, but more people are taking optometry measurements at general eyeglass stores. From such a background, in spite of the importance of experience and technology for performing optometry, there are many cases where prescriptions are often made by examiners who are not specialists such as ophthalmologists.
[0008]
In order to deal with this situation, objective refractive power measurement (sometimes abbreviated as objective measurement) and subjective refractive power measurement (subjective measurement) while guiding the subject through movie broadcasts and announcement output Have been developed and have entered the practical application stage.
[0009]
Since such an optometry apparatus is not premised on the existence of a skilled examiner, it is configured to ensure sufficient accuracy even in optometry by an examiner with little knowledge and experience, or in an optometry in a situation where there is no examiner. There is a need. For example, in order to achieve sufficient accuracy in a red / green test performed based on a subject's response, some measurement process is required instead of a skilled examiner. Considering the configuration of the optometry apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 from this viewpoint, it must be said that it is difficult to apply it to an automated state-of-the-art optometry apparatus.
[0010]
That is, in the optometry apparatus described in Patent Document 1, the examiner operates the dial switch to adjust the spherical power based on the response of the subject's appearance of the red / green target, and the red / green target. The minimum circle of confusion is positioned in the vicinity of the retina by making the letters in red and green have the same level, or the green side looks a little better.
[0011]
In other words, in a red / green test where it is difficult to determine how to proceed with the test based on the response of the subject, a configuration to support an unskilled examiner, or when there is no examiner, the decision is automatically made. Therefore, the optometric measurement is dependent on the experience and technique of the examiner, and it is difficult to ensure the stability of the measurement accuracy.
[0012]
In addition, since optometry using automated optometry devices is also targeted at a wide range of ages from infants to the elderly as in the past, there are cases in which there are questions in the measurement results due to the judgment ability of the subject. . For example, there is a rare case where the subject selects the red or green target according to his / her preference. The red-green test is performed after almost accurate refractive power is measured, but the red and green targets are far apart from the retina position, and both images are large. When the subject is visually blurred, it may be difficult for the subject to determine the difference in the degree of blur of the target. In such cases, the examiner has conventionally determined the condition of the subject based on his / her experience, etc., and proceeded with measurement in a flexible manner, but such an examiner exists in an automated optometry apparatus. Since it is not assumed, some method is required for judging the condition of the subject in the red / green test and maintaining the measurement accuracy.
[0013]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an optometry apparatus capable of exhibiting high measurement accuracy even when an inexperienced examiner performs optometry or when there is no examiner. It is intended to provide. Another object of the present invention is to provide an optometry apparatus capable of improving the examination efficiency.

Hereinafter, the usage method of the optometry apparatus 2 of this embodiment is demonstrated, referring drawings. First, an outline of the overall flow of the method of using the optometry apparatus 2 will be described, and then the operation in each step will be described in detail.
[0055]
[Overall flow of usage]
First, an outline of the overall flow of the method of using the optometry apparatus 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, an inquiry is performed while showing the movie displayed on the display screen 64q ′ of the monitor device 64q to the subject 4 (S1). Here, when the subject 4 wears spectacles, optical characteristic data of the spectacles is acquired by the lens meter 1000 (S2). Next, the operation procedure will be described while displaying the operation procedure of the optometry apparatus 2 on the display screen 64q ′ of the monitor device 64q and outputting a voice guide (S3). Thereafter, when an optometric measurement is selected, each individual measurement is entered. When the explanation of the operation procedure is completed and optometry measurement is selected, auto alignment (XY alignment and Z alignment) is performed on the left eye EL and ER of the subject 4 of the main body portions 5l and 5r (S4). When auto alignment is completed, the process proceeds to a step of measuring eye refractive power. The eye refractive power measurement by the optometry apparatus 2 can be roughly divided into objective measurement shown in S5 of FIG. 16 and subjective measurement consisting of S6 to S23. The objective measurement is performed simultaneously on the left eye EL and the right eye ER (S5). Subsequent subjective measurement is performed based on eye refractive power (objective value) obtained by simultaneous objective measurement of both eyes.
[0056]
When the binocular simultaneous objective measurement is completed, the subjective measurement for the right eye ER is performed. The subjective measurement for the right eye ER includes visual acuity measurement (S6), red / green test (S7), + 1D blurring test (S8), and cross-cylinder test for measuring the astigmatic axis (hereinafter also referred to as CC test) (S9). The CC test (S10) for measuring the degree of astigmatism is performed in this order. The subjective measurement for the left eye is also performed by the same process (S11 to S15). When the subjective measurement for each eye is completed, a binocular balance test (S16) and a + 1D blurring test (S17) are performed, the result of the subjective measurement performed for each eye is adjusted, and the eye refractive power ( Acknowledgment value).
[0057]
When the subjective values of the left eye EL and right eye ER of the subject 4 are acquired, the visual acuity is measured by adding correction based on the subjective values (S18), and the visual acuity test based on the spectacle power is performed based on the data acquired in S2. In step S19, the visual acuity is measured with the naked eye (S20). Then, a confirmation test is performed to confirm which of these three types of visual acuity measurement results is best viewed (S21).
[0058]
Finally, a near vision test for measuring the near vision addition is performed (S22), and the near vision test is performed with the near vision addition obtained thereby being added (S23). A prescription value is determined based on the above result (S24), and the process is terminated.
[0059]
[Treatment in each step of usage]
Hereinafter, the process by the optometry apparatus 2 performed along such a flow will be described in detail for each process. Here, the interview (S1), wearing spectacles measurement (S2), monitor display and voice guide (S3), and auto alignment (S4) have been described above or are already known contents, so the description is omitted. . For binocular simultaneous objective measurement (S5), the description will be simplified for the same reason.
[0060]
(Binocular simultaneous objective measurement; S5)
When the auto-alignment (S4) for the left eye EL, ER of the subject 4 of the main body parts 5l, 5r is completed, the optometry apparatus 2 is automatically set to the objective measurement mode. That is, the landscape chart 99 is presented to the left eye EL and the right eye ER (hereinafter also referred to as “both eyes”) of the subject 4, and PD is the PD value obtained during alignment. He then announces, “Get the glasses you need. Look into the eyesight meter.” One second later, announce that “please open your eyes wide and be patient with blinking”, and align both eyes at the same time. After the alignment is completed, objective measurement is performed simultaneously on both eyes to obtain objective values S (spherical power), C (astigmatic power), and A (astigmatic axis angle) of both eyes, and objective values S, C, A Display and output the representative value of.
[0061]
(Right eye vision measurement; S6)
When the binocular simultaneous objective measurement (S5) is completed, the announcement “Refraction measurement value was obtained. Visual acuity measurement using this refraction value.” Was announced, and objective values S, C, and A were set for both eyes. To do. Further, a visual target (Landolt ring) having a visual acuity value of 0.5 is presented to the right eye ER, and the visual illumination light source for the left eye EL is turned off. Then, announce that “Please defeat the lever (6h) in the direction of the cut of the target”.
[0062]
When the subject 4 tilts the lever 6h in the direction recognized as the direction of the Landolt ring break, it is determined whether the cut direction of the presentation target coincides with the direction in which the lever 6h falls (OK) or not (NG). judge. Then, based on the result of the coincidence determination, “How is this?” Is announced and the next target is presented to the right eye ER. Here, the algorithm for determining the visual acuity value is as follows.
[0063]
When the direction in which the lever 6h is tilted coincides with the direction of the Landolt ring break in the initial presentation, the same examination is repeated while increasing the visual acuity value by one step. If it becomes NG at the stage of increasing the steps, it will be presented up to 4 times. Further, in the stage of increasing the visual acuity value, when the Landolt ring having the same visual acuity value is presented by changing the cut direction, the horizontal direction and the vertical direction are presented alternately. Also, the right and left in the horizontal direction and the top and bottom in the vertical direction are selected at random. If it becomes NG twice out of the maximum of 4 presentations, the visual acuity value below it is taken. If it is OK three times or more, it is determined that it has at least the visual acuity value, and the Landolt ring of the visual acuity value above is presented.
[0064]
On the other hand, if the direction in which the lever 6h is tilted and the direction of the cut of the Landolt ring do not coincide with each other in the initial presentation, the visual acuity value of the Landolt ring to be presented is lowered until it becomes OK. If it becomes OK at that stage, this time increases the visual acuity value of the Landolt ring to be presented. If it becomes NG at the stage of raising, it will be presented up to 4 times. Thereafter, the process proceeds in the same manner as that described in the description in the case of coincidence in the first presentation.
[0065]
When the visual acuity value of the right eye ER is determined according to such an algorithm, a landscape chart 99 is presented to both eyes. Finally, the determined visual acuity value is stored in memory, and the visual acuity measurement of the right eye ER is terminated.
[0066]
(Red-green test for right eye; S7)
In the optometry apparatus 2 of the present embodiment, a red / green chart (red / green target) as shown in FIG. 17 is used as a red / green test target for precisely measuring the sphericity of the eye EL and ER. ) Is provided.

[0069]
Hereinafter, a method of using the red / green test using the red / green charts 100R and 100L will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a processing flow when the initial response in the red / green test is “(same as red and green)”, and FIG. 19 shows that the initial response is “green”. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the processing flow when the initial response is “red (which looks better)”. It is a flowchart.
[0070]
First, the right eye red / green chart 100R is displayed on the liquid crystal display 53 of the main body 5r and presented to the right eye ER of the subject 4, and the left eye EL illumination light source is turned off. The person 4 observes the numerical target “6” and the ring target in the red visual field on the left side and the numerical target “9” and the ring target in the green field on the right side with the right eye ER. Will be. Here, when both are clearly visible, press the button (6g). If not, push the lever (6h) in the direction where it is clearly visible. (S101).
[0071]
When the button 6g is pressed in the first response (S101; SAME), S (spherical power) + 0.50D is added to confirm the presence or absence of adjustment intervention (S102), a “ping-pong” sound is output, and again The subject 4 is prompted to respond to which of red (R) and green (G) looks better (S103). Here, when it is answered that R is better seen (the lever 6h is tilted to the left) (S103; RED), it is determined that there is no adjustment intervention, and S-0.50D is added to complete the process. (S104). Also, if it responds that G can be seen better (the lever 6h is tilted to the right) (S103; GREEN), it is determined that an error has occurred because S + 0.50D or more is removed, and the setting is returned to the objective value. (S105).
[0072]
On the other hand, when the response is “same” again in the second response (S103; SAME), it is determined that there is a possibility of adjustment intervention, and S + 0.50D is further added (S106). (S107). If “RED” is returned here, it is determined that the adjustment intervention is S + 0.50D, S−0.50D is added, and the process ends (S108). On the other hand, if “GREEN” is returned, it is determined that an error has occurred because the adjustment is removed by S + 1.0D or more, and the objective value is returned (S109). In the third response, if the response is “same”, there is no change despite the addition of S + 1.0D, so the subject 4 does not understand the red / green test. Is determined as an error (S110). At this time as well, the objective value is restored.
[0073]
Next, processing when “GREEN” is returned in the first response will be described with reference to FIG. When “GREEN” is answered in the first response (S101; GREEN), it is determined that the correction is overcorrection, S + 0.50D is added (S111), and a second response is prompted (S112).
[0074]
If “RED” is returned in the second response, it is determined that weak correction has been made, S-0.25D is added (S113), and a third response is prompted (S114). If “RED” is returned in the third response, an additional correction is made in step S-0.25D. The weak correction is stopped, and the process ends with the diopter value (D value) at this time (S115). In addition, when “GREEN” is returned in the third response, it is determined that overcorrection has been made by adding S-0.25D, and S + 0.25D is added to end as weak correction (S116). ). On the other hand, if “same” is determined, the process ends with the D value at this time (S117).
[0075]
If “same” is replied in the second response (S112), S + 0.50D is added to confirm the presence or absence of adjustment intervention (S118), and a third response is prompted (S119). If “RED” is returned in the third response, it is determined that there is no intervention of adjustment of S + 0.50D, S−0.50D is added, the D value is restored, and the process ends (S120). In addition, if “GREEN” is returned in the third response, it is overcorrection of S + 1.0 or more, so it is determined that the red / green test is not understood, and an error is determined. (S121). In addition, if “same” is answered in the third response, there is no change despite the addition of S + 1.0D. Therefore, it is determined that the red / green test is not understood and an error is determined. Then, the objective value is returned (S122).
[0076]
On the other hand, if “GREEN” is also answered in the second response (S112) following the first response, it is determined that S + 0.50D or more is overcorrected, and S + 0.50D is further added (S123). Is prompted (S124). If “GREEN” is returned in the third response, it means that the overcorrection is S + 1.0 or more, it is determined that the red / green test is not understood, and an error is determined. Return (S125). Similarly, if “same” is answered in the third response, there is no change despite the addition of S + 1.0D, so it is determined that this red / green test is not understood and an error is detected. It judges and returns to an objective value (S126).
[0077]
If “RED” is returned in the third response (S124), it is determined that the correction has been made to weak correction, and half S-0.25D is added (S127) to prompt the fourth response. (S128). If "RED" is returned in the fourth response, the correction is left as it is and the process ends (S129). If “GREEN” is responded, it is determined that overcorrection has been made by adding S-0.25D, and S + 0.25D is added to end as weak correction (S130). If the response is “same”, the process ends with the D value at this time (S131).
[0078]
Finally, a process when “RED” is returned in the first response will be described with reference to FIG. When “RED” is answered in the first response (S101; RED), it is determined that the correction is weak, and S-0.50D is added (S111), and a second response is prompted (S142).
[0079]
If “same” is answered in the second response, the process ends with the D value at this time (S143).
[0080]
If “GREEN” is returned in the second response (S142), it is determined that overcorrection is made, S + 0.25D is added (S144), and a third response is prompted (S145). When “RED” is returned in the third response, it is determined that weak correction has been made by adding S + 0.25D, and the D value at this stage is adopted and the process ends (S146). If “GREEN” is returned in the third response, it is determined that correction is still overcorrection even if S + 0.25D is added, and S + 0.25D is further added to end weak correction (S147). If determined to be “same”, the process ends with the D value at this time (S148).
[0081]
On the other hand, if “RED” is returned in the second response (S142), it is determined that the correction is weaker than S−0.50D, and S−0.50D is further added (S149). Prompt (S150). If “RED” is replied in the third response, it means that there is an intervention of adjustment of S-1.0D or more, and it is determined that the red / green test is not understood and an error is determined. Return to the objective value (S151). If the same response is returned in the third response, the process ends with the D value at this time (S152).
[0082]
If “GREEN” is returned in the third response (S150), it is determined that the process has shifted to overcorrection, and half S + 0.25D is added (S153), and a fourth response is prompted (S154). ). When “RED” is returned in the fourth response, it is determined that weak correction has been made by adding S + 0.25D, and the D value at this stage is adopted and the process ends (S155). If “GREEN” is returned in the third response, it is determined that the correction is still overcorrection even if S + 0.25D is added, and S + 0.25D is further added to end the weak correction (S156). If determined to be “same”, the process ends with the D value at this time (S157).
[0083]
The red / green test for the right eye ER of the subject 4 is performed in the above-described process. By adopting such a process, the following advantages are exhibited. First, when the button 6g is pressed three times from the first response and the response is “same”, it is assumed that the subject 4 cannot understand the red / green test and cannot judge red or green. The error determination is made, the D value is returned to the initial objective value, and the red / green test is terminated. Similar error processing is also executed when red or green is selected three times from the first response. Therefore, it becomes possible to screen the understanding ability of the subject 4 with respect to the red / green test, and to switch the processing flow according to the subject.
[0084]
According to the above configuration, in response to the response by the operation of the button 6g or the lever 6h, the subject 4 is automatically determined whether or not he / she understands the red / green test, and the red / green test is skipped. Therefore, even when there is a measurement by an examiner who is not skilled in optometry or when there is no examiner, a measurement result to be discarded can be discarded, and measurement accuracy can be maintained. In addition, since the measurement proceeds without performing unnecessary inspection, inspection efficiency is also improved. Note that the number of responses for making an error determination is not limited to the number described above, and can be arbitrarily set by an examiner or the like.
[0085]
In addition, the response of the subject 4 has been switched, that is, the red target has been changed to the green target, or the green target has been changed to the red target. Correspondingly, since the sphericity added to the right eye ER is changed from 0.50D step to 0.25D step, the measurement efficiency is measured before the responding target is changed, and the measurement is performed after the change. It has a configuration that takes each accuracy into consideration. Note that the step of sphericity added to the right eye ER is not limited to the change from 0.50D to 0.25D, and can be selected as appropriate.
[0086]
When an error occurs and the red / green test is not performed, a + 1D blur test described below is performed instead. When the above red / green test is completed, a landscape chart 99 is presented to both eyes of the subject 4.
[0087]
(+ 1D blur test; S8)
If an error determination is made by the red / green test for the right eye ER, a + 1D blur test is performed instead. In addition to the red / green test, the + 1D blur test is a test performed in place of the binocular balance test when the test result is doubtful. This + 1D blurring test is based on the fact that it is empirically known that when S + 1.0D is added to the objective value obtained by the objective measurement, the visual acuity value is reduced to about 0.5 to 0.7. In the test, the visual acuity value when S + 1.0D is added to the objective value is measured. If the result is 0.5 to 0.7, the other visual value (S, C, A) is correct. It is to be judged. Further, when the visual acuity value is less than 0.5, it is determined that the correction is weak, and a negative D value is added until the visual acuity value of 0.5 is obtained. Conversely, when the visual acuity value exceeds 0.7, overcorrection is performed. And a positive D value is added until a visual acuity value of 0.7 is obtained. Note that the target visual acuity value is not limited to the range of 0.5 to 0.7, and can be arbitrarily selected. The target may have a constant visual acuity value (for example, 0.6) without having a width.
[0088]
FIG. 21 is a flowchart illustrating a process flow of the + 1D blur test. The + 1D blurring test starts by returning the setting to the objective value and adding S + 1.0D to the objective value (S201). At this time, the target for the left eye EL and the fusion frame are turned off. Then, the Landolt ring is presented with S + 1D added to the objective value, and a visual acuity test is performed (S202). When the visual acuity value obtained by the visual acuity test is 0.5 or more and 0.7 or less (S203), S-1.0D is added to return to the objective value and the process is ended (S204). This D value is displayed and stored.
[0089]
When the visual acuity value obtained by the visual acuity test is less than 0.5 (S203), a visual target (Landolt ring) corresponding to the visual acuity value 0.5 is presented (S205), and the visual acuity test is performed (S206). As a result of the visual acuity test, when the visual acuity value is 0.5 or more, S-1.0D is added to return to the objective value (S204), and this D value is displayed and stored. As a result of the visual acuity test, if the visual acuity value is again less than 0.5 (S207), S-0.25D is added (S208), and the visual acuity test is performed again (S206). S-0.25D is sequentially added until the visual acuity value becomes 0.5 or more, visual acuity inspection is performed, and -1D is added to finish (S204), and the obtained D value is displayed and stored.
[0090]
When the visual acuity value obtained by the visual acuity test exceeds 0.7 (S203), a visual target (Landolt ring) corresponding to the visual acuity value 0.7 is presented (S209), and the visual acuity test is performed (S210). As a result of the visual acuity test, when the visual acuity value is 0.7 or less, S-1.0D is added to return to the objective value (S204), and this D value is displayed and stored. As a result of the visual acuity test, when the visual acuity value exceeds 0.7 again (S211), S + 0.25D is added (S212), and the visual acuity test is performed again (S210). S + 0.25D is sequentially added until the visual acuity value becomes 0.7 or less, visual acuity inspection is performed, and -1D is added to finish (S204), and the obtained D value is displayed and stored.
[0091]
As described above, the + 1D blur test is performed on a subject who is suspected of not understanding the test due to the response in the red / green test. .00D) presents a Landolt ring corresponding to an assumed visual acuity value (0.5 to 0.7) and adds a visual inspection of the right eye ER. Since the refractive power of the right eye ER is determined based on the relationship with the visual acuity value, the same measurement should be performed for subjects whose refractive power cannot be accurately determined by the red / green test. Is possible. Therefore, measurement accuracy can be maintained even when there is no skilled examiner.
[0092]
(Cross cylinder test; S9, S10)
Next, the flow of processing in the cross cylinder test (CC test) performed by the optometry apparatus 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an outline of the entire flow of the CC test. FIG. 23 and FIG. 26 relate to the CC test for measuring the astigmatic axis, FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of this CC test, and FIG. 24 is a confirmation test used in this CC test. FIG. 25 is a schematic diagram showing a target used for the CC test, and FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram of an illustration chart 400 used for the confirmation test. Note that the illustration chart is defined as a chart having a target corresponding to a plurality of stages of visual acuity values based on a familiar landscape or the like. The target 300 is called a cross cylinder dot chart and is displayed on the liquid crystal display 53. Similarly, the illustration chart 400 is also displayed by the liquid crystal display 53. Further, FIGS. 33 and 34 also relate to the CC test for measuring the astigmatism axis, FIG. 33 is referred to determine the astigmatism and the axis angle, and FIG. 34 is referred to in the confirmation test.
[0093]
27 to 30 are flowcharts relating to the CC test for measuring astigmatism, FIGS. 27 to 29 show the flow of processing of this CC test, and FIG. 30 is a confirmation test used in this CC test. The flow of processing is shown. Note that the cross cylinder dot chart 300 of FIG. 25 and the illustration chart of FIG. 26 are also used for this CC test. Further, FIG. 31 shows a confirmation test process performed when an astigmatism degree checking test and a cross cylinder test are performed and an astigmatism degree prescription is performed while the objective value C = 0D and the C value of the glasses are also 0D. It is a flowchart which shows the flow.
[0094]
First, the outline of the CC test process for the right eye ER of the subject 4 by the optometry apparatus 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As preparation for that, first, the target illumination light source for the left eye EL is turned off, and the auto alignment of the main body 5r with respect to the right eye ER is performed. When the preparation is completed, the cross cylinder dot chart 300 shown in FIG. 25 is set on the liquid crystal display 53 and presented to both eyes of the subject 4 (S301). Subsequently, S-0.5D is added to the sphericity S for both eyes (S302). The astigmatism C of the objective value by the objective measurement is 0D (S303), (in the case of a spectacle wearer) the glasses power is 0D (S304), and the visual acuity value by the objective measurement value is 1.2 or more (S305) If there is, it skips without performing the CC test (S306). Note that the visual acuity value reference based on the objective measurement value need not be 1.2 or more, and can be set as appropriate, for example, 1.0 or more.
[0095]
When the visual acuity value by the objective measurement value is less than 1.2 (S305), the target illumination light source of the right eye ER is turned off, the equivalent sphericity (SE) (= S + 1/2 · C) is kept constant, and C After adding −0.50 D (S307), the target illumination light source of the right eye ER is turned on and the A (180) / A (90) test is performed (S308).
[0096]
The A (180) / A (90) test is performed as follows. The shaft angle is set to 180 degrees in the initial state by the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B. First, an announcement “Lever left if this 1 is good” is output, and the cross cylinder dot chart 300 is watched. Hereinafter, this condition is A (180). Next, the target illumination light source of the right eye ER is turned off and the axis angle is set to 90 degrees (condition A (90)), and the target illumination light source is turned on. Then, an announcement is output saying “If the two looks good, press the lever to the right, and if it is the same, press the lever button”, the cross cylinder dot chart 300 is watched. Furthermore, the conditions A (180) and A (90) are presented alternately, and the announcement is repeatedly output. If the lever is tilted to the left or right or the button is pressed, the result is stored in memory. This is the end of the A (180) / A (90) test.
[0097]
When the A (180) / A (90) test is completed, the A (45) / A (135) test is then performed (S309). First, the target illumination light source for the right eye ER is turned off, and the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B are rotated to set the shaft angle to 45 degrees. Then, the target illumination light source is turned on, an announcement “Lever is left if this 1 is visible” is output, and the cross cylinder dot chart 300 is watched. Hereinafter, this condition is set to A (45). Next, the target illumination light source of the right eye ER is turned off, the shaft angle is set to 135 degrees (condition A (135)), and the target illumination light source is turned on. Then, an announcement is output saying “If the two looks good, press the lever to the right, and if it is the same, press the lever button”, the cross cylinder dot chart 300 is watched. Further, the conditions A (45) and A (135) are presented alternately, and the announcement is repeatedly output. If the lever is tilted to the left or right or the button is pressed, the result is stored in memory. This is the end of the A (45) / A (135) test.
[0098]
Subsequently, based on the results of the A (180) / A (90) test and the results of the A (45) / A (135) test, referring to FIG. 33, the astigmatism (Cyl shown in FIG. 33) and An astigmatic axis angle (Axis) is obtained, and the value is set (S310). In particular, when both the A (180) / A (90) test and the A (45) / A (135) test answer “same”, C = 0 and A = 180 °, and the cross cylinder test is terminated. (S306).
[0099]
When the C value of the objective is not 0D (S303), the C value of the objective is 0D and the C value of the glasses is not 0D (S304), and the C value of the objective is 0D and the C value of the glasses If the value is 0D, the visual acuity value of the objective is less than 1.2, and the C value obtained from FIG. 33 is not 0 (S304), the CC test (S400) for astigmatic axis measurement and astigmatism A CC test (S600) for measuring the degree is performed, and the process related to the cross cylinder test is terminated (S306). That is, when a C value other than 0D is obtained even once, the CC test for astigmatism axis measurement and astigmatism degree measurement is performed. Hereinafter, the CC test (S400) for measuring the astigmatism axis and the CC test (S600) for measuring the degree of astigmatism will be described in detail.

(Cross cylinder test for measuring the astigmatic axis)
FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing processing in the CC test (S400) for astigmatic axis measurement. In this flowchart, when (A +) is selected in the first CC test, and “Same (=)” is selected in the first CC test and (A +) is selected in the second and subsequent CC tests. The flow of processing in the case is shown. When (A-) is selected in the first CC test and when (=) is selected in the first CC test and (A-) is selected in the second and subsequent CC tests, FIG. The processing is performed symmetrically with the case shown in FIG. At this time, “A = A + α” shown in S411 of the flowchart is read as “A = A−α” and applied.
[0101]
Here, before entering the cross cylinder test, the refractive power obtained by the red / green test or the like is expressed as D _{θ, 1} (S ₁ , C ₁ , A ₁ ). The cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B are set to CC ± 0.25D. This CC ± 0.25D is S ₂ = + 0.25D, C ₂ = Equivalent to −0.50D, so refractive power D _{θ, 2} Is (0.25, -0.50, A ₁ ± 45 °).
[0102]
The first CC test (S401) is performed as follows. Turn off the target illumination light source of the right eye ER, D _{θ, 1} And A ₁ D for + 45 ° _{θ, 2} And combined refractive power D _{θ, 0} (S ₀ , C ₀ , A ₀ ) Is set. Hereinafter, this state is represented as (A +). The target illumination light source of the right eye ER is turned on, an announcement “Lever is left if this 1 is visible” is output, and the cross cylinder dot chart 300 is watched. Next, the target illumination light source of the right eye ER is turned off, and D _{θ, 1} And A ₁ D for -45 ° _{θ, 2} And combined refractive power D _{θ, 0} (S ₀ , C ₀ , A ₀ ) Is set. Hereinafter, this state is represented as (A-). The target illumination light source is turned on, an announcement is output saying “If the two looks good, press the lever to the right, and if it is the same, press the lever button”, the cross cylinder dot chart 300 is watched. Further, (A +) and (A−) are alternately presented, and the above announcement is repeatedly output. If lever h is tilted to the left, A ₁ = A ₁ + Α °, A when tilted to the right ₁ = A ₁ -Α. Corresponding A ₂ Changes with this. Here, α can be set to 5 °, for example.
[0103]
In this way, the subject 4 proceeds with the test by depressing the lever 6h to the better visible one of (A +) and (A-), or pressing the button 6g when they look the same. When the button 6g is pressed in the first CC test (S401; (=)), when the shaft angle A is 1 ° ≦ A <45 °, the shaft angle A is 45 ° ≦ A in the horizontal (1 °) direction. When it is ≦ 135 °, it is sent in the vertical (90 °) direction, and when the axis angle A is 135 ° <A ≦ 45 °, it is sent 5 ° in the horizontal (180 °) direction. However, when 85 ° <A <95 °, 90 °, and when 1 ° ≦ A ≦ 5 ° and 175 ° <A ≦ 180 °, 180 °.
[0104]
When the selection by the subject 4 changes from (A +) to (A−), or changes from (A−) to (A +), the CC test for axis measurement ends. At this time, an angle obtained by subtracting 5 ° (α) from the angle when the selection is changed, an added angle, an average value of two angles before and after the selection is changed, and the like can be adopted as the measurement result.
[0105]
When the selection changes from (A +) or (A−) to “same”, it is sent by 5 ° in the same direction as the state before “same”. Then, the CC test is performed, and when the reverse state is selected, the operation is returned by 5 ° in the reverse direction and the process ends.
[0106]
The flow of CC test processing for astigmatic axis angle measurement will be specifically described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0107]
When the result of the first CC test is “same (=)” (S401), α is sent in the horizontal or vertical direction according to the axis angle in the above manner (the horizontal or vertical direction is set as described above). (S402), the CC test is performed in this state (S403). As a result, when (=) is again set, the subject 4 is assumed to be insensitive to the axial angle conversion and cannot be determined by CC ± 0.25D, and the axial angle is returned to the initial value (S404). The cylinder lenses 59A and 59B are set to CC ± 0.50D (S405). In this state, a CC test is performed (S406). When the result is also (=), the shaft angle is fed by α as in S402 (S407), and the CC test is performed (S408). When the result of the CC test is (=), it is determined that the subject 4 does not understand the shaft angle measurement by the cross cylinder test, the shaft angle is returned to the initial value (S409), and the astigmatism power is determined. The process proceeds to the CC test for measuring (S410). Hereinafter, the CC test for measuring the astigmatic power is abbreviated as “degree CC test”.
[0108]
On the other hand, if (A +) is selected in any of the CC tests (S401, S403, S406, S408), the feed axis angle A is set to A + α by the angle α (S411), and the CC test is performed (S412). . If (A−) is selected, A = A−a is set, the original angle is returned, and the process ends (S413).
[0109]
If (=) is set in the CC test of S412, further set A = A + α (send further α in the same direction) (S414), and perform the CC test (S415). If the result of this CC test is (A-), the process ends as A = A-a (S416). The value obtained at this time is A + α. If the result of the CC test is (A +), the shaft angle is returned to the initial value (S417), and the process proceeds to the degree CC test (S418). Similarly, when the result of this CC test is (=), the shaft angle is returned to the initial value (S419), and the process proceeds to the CC test (S420).
[0110]
Further, when (A +) is set in the CC test in S412, A = A + α is further set (S421), and the CC test is performed (S422). If the result of this CC test is (A−), the process ends as A = A−a (S423). If the result of this CC test is (=), the shaft angle is returned to the initial value (S424), and the process proceeds to the CC test (S425). When the result of the CC test is (A +), a confirmation test described below is performed (S426).
[0111]
The confirmation test of S426 is performed when (A +) or (A−) is selected three times from the beginning. This takes into consideration the possibility that the difference in the presented visual target cannot be determined. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the flow of CC test processing that is further executed according to this confirmation test and its determination.
[0112]
First, an illustration chart as shown in FIG. 26 is presented (S501), and the measured value D after the red / green test is shown. _{θ, 1} 1 and the measured value D here _{θ, 1 '} Toggle the lever 2 to the left (if it is better to see 1) and to the right if this 2 is better (see A = A + 2α). If it is the same, press the button. "The announcement is repeatedly output and the first confirmation test is performed (S502).
[0113]
Subject 4 is D _{θ, 1 '} When (View 2 and lever 6h is right) is selected, it is determined that the subject 4 is responding correctly, and the process returns to the CC test (S503). In this CC test, (A +) or (A-) is further repeated, and when the (limit) angle shown in FIG. 34 is reached (S504, S505), it is considered that the subject 4 cannot judge the CC test. , Initial value D _{θ, 1} The CC test for measuring the axis of astigmatism (hereinafter abbreviated as the CC test of the axis) is completed (S506), and the process proceeds to the CC test (S507).
[0114]
If “same” is selected in the first confirmation test of S502, it is considered that the subject 4 cannot determine the axis CC test, and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S508), and the process ends (S509).
[0115]
On the other hand, in the first confirmation test of S502, D _{θ, 1} Is selected, this refractive power is set, (A +) and (A−) are alternately presented, and “If this 1 is better, left, this 2 is better. If it is okay, tilt the lever to the right. If it is the same, press the button. "The announcement is repeatedly output and the second confirmation test is performed (S511). If (=) is selected in this test, it is considered that the subject 4 cannot judge the CC test of the axis, and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S512), the process proceeds to the CC test (S513).
[0116]
When (A-) is selected in the second confirmation test of S511, it is memorized that (A-) is selected (S514), and (A-) and (A +) are switched (S515). The CC test is performed while alternately presenting these and outputting the announcement (S516). If (=) is selected in this CC test, it is considered that the subject 4 cannot judge the CC test of the axis, and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S517), the process proceeds to the CC test (S518).
[0117]
If (A-) is selected in the CC test of S516, the fact that (A-) is selected is memorized (S519) and compared with the result of the CC test (S511) before switching. In this case, although (A−) and (A +) are switched, the response (A−) is made before and after the switching, so it is determined that the CC test is not performed correctly, and “ Please read the chart carefully "is output (S520). Then, change the announcement to be output to "Left the lever to the left if this A looks better, or to the right if this B looks better. Press the button if the same." ( S521), initial value D _{θ, 1} Is set (S522), and the axis CC test is performed (S523).
[0118]
When (A +) is selected in the CC test in S516, the fact that (A +) is selected is stored in memory (S524) and compared with the result of the CC test (S511) before switching. In this case, since the opposite one is selected in response to the switching between (A−) and (A +), it is determined that the CC test is correctly performed, and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S525) and the axis CC test is performed again (S526).
[0119]
On the other hand, when (A +) is selected in the second confirmation test of S511, the fact that (A +) is selected is memorized (S527), and (A-) and (A +) are switched (S528). The CC test is performed while presenting these alternately and outputting the announcement (S529). If (=) is selected in this CC test, it is considered that the subject 4 cannot judge the CC test of the axis, and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S530), the process proceeds to the CC test (S531).
[0120]
When (A-) is selected in the CC test of S529, it is memorized that (A-) is selected (S532) and compared with the result of the CC test (S511) before switching. In this case, since the opposite one is selected in response to the switching between (A−) and (A +), it is determined that the CC test is correctly performed, and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S533) and the axis CC test is performed again (S534).
[0121]
When (A +) is selected in the CC test of S529, the fact that (A +) is selected is stored in memory (S535), and compared with the result of the CC test (S511) before switching. In this case, although (A−) and (A +) have been switched, the response (A +) is made before and after the switching, so it is determined that the CC test has not been performed correctly, and the “chart” Please read carefully "is output (S536). Then, change the announcement to be output to "Left the lever to the left if this A looks better, or to the right if this B looks better. Press the button if the same." ( S537), initial value D _{θ, 1} Is set (S538), and an axis CC test is performed (S539). Thus, the process ends.
[0122]
In S520 and S537, the announcement output at the time of the CC test is changed from “1, 2” to “A, B” so that when 1 or 2 is selected, the announcement always responds to 1. This is because it is empirically known that there is an examiner. Of course, a selection method other than “A, B” may be used.
[0123]
(Cross cylinder test to measure astigmatism)
When the CC test for measuring the astigmatism axis is completed, the CC test for accurately measuring the astigmatism degree is performed (see FIGS. 27 to 29). First, initial setting is performed (S601). In this initial setting, the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B are set to CC ± 0.25D, and an error counter, counter (=), counter (+), and counter (−) described later are all set to 0. CC + 0.25 is S ₂ = + 0.25D, C ₂ = Equivalent to -0.50D, so refractive power D _{θ, 2} (0.25, -0.50, A ₁ + 90 °) and its inversion (0.25, -0.50, A ₁ ).
[0124]
The first CC test (S602) is performed as follows. D after the measurement of the astigmatism axis _{θ, 1} (S ₁ , C ₁ , A ₁ ) And the axial angle A of the cross cylinder lens 59A, 59B ₂ = A ₁ D for + 90 ° _{θ, 2} And combined refractive power D _{θ, 0} (S ₀ , C ₀ , A ₀ ) Is set. Hereinafter, this state is represented as (P +). The target illumination light source of the right eye ER is turned on, an announcement “Lever is left if this 1 is visible” is output, and the cross cylinder dot chart 300 is watched. Next, the target illumination light source of the right eye ER is turned off, and D _{θ, 1} And A ₂ = A ₁ D in case of _{θ, 2} And combined refractive power D _{θ, 0} (S ₀ , C ₀ , A ₀ ) Is set. Hereinafter, this state is represented as (P−). The target illumination light source is turned on, an announcement is output saying “If the two looks good, press the lever to the right, and if it is the same, press the lever button”, the cross cylinder dot chart 300 is watched. Further, (P +) and (P−) are presented alternately, and the above announcement is repeatedly output. If (P +) is selected and lever h is tilted to the left, C ₁ When + 0.25D is added to the right and it is tilted to the right and (P-) is selected, C ₁ Add -0.25D to. When the equivalent sphericity SE changes by 0.25D or more, + 0.25D or -0.25D is added to the sphericity so as to maintain this equivalent sphericity.
[0125]
In this CC test, as described above, the response is made so as to indicate the better visible state of (P−) and (P +). When “same (=)” is selected in the first CC test, + 0.25D is added if C ≦ −0.50D according to the astigmatism (C value) of the right eye ER, and C> −0.50D ( In other words, if -0.25D), -0.25D is added. Further, when the selection by the subject 4 changes from (P +) to (P−), or changes from (P−) to (P +), the value closer to the astigmatism obtained by the objective measurement is obtained. The CC test is completed when selected. When the astigmatism reaches 0D, the process ends at that time.
[0126]
The case where (P−) or (P +) is selected in the first CC test in S602 will be described later with reference to FIGS.
[0127]
When (=) is selected in the CC test of S602, 1 is added to the counter (=) that counts the number of times (=) is selected (S603). Next, it is checked whether the count value of the counter (=) is 2 (S604). When the counter (=) = 2, the power of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B is converted to CC ± 0.50D (S605), and a confirmation test described later is performed (S606). If the result of the confirmation test is good (GOOD), the CC test is continued. When the count value is not 2 in S604, the process proceeds to S607 without performing the power conversion and the confirmation test of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B.
[0128]
Here, the value of astigmatism C is confirmed (S607), and if C is 0D, the process ends with C = 0D and A = 180 ° (S608). If C = 0D, it is confirmed whether the selection in the previous CC test is (=) (S609). If (=), the astigmatism C = C + 0.25 is set (S610), and the CC test is performed again. (To S602). If not (=), it is confirmed whether (P-) is selected in the previous CC test (S611). If (P−), +0.25 is added to the astigmatism C and the process ends (S612). If it is not (P−), it is confirmed whether (P +) is selected in the previous CC test (S613). If (P +), +0.25 is added to the astigmatism C and the process ends (S614). If it is not (P +), the astigmatism C = C + 0.25 is set (S615), and the CC test is performed again (to S602).
[0129]
If the result of the confirmation test in S606 is not good (NG), 1 is added to the count of the error counter that counts the number of errors (S616). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the cumulative error count is 2 (S617). If the error count is 2, it is reset to the initial value (618), and the process ends (S619). If the error count is not 2, the initial setting is restored (S601), and the CC test is performed again.
[0130]
With this configuration, when (=) is selected twice from the first CC test, the power of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B is increased from ± 0.25D to ± 0.50D for confirmation. A test will be conducted. Then, according to the result of the confirmation test, it is determined whether the test is continued or the measurement is reset and reset. If (=) is selected twice in the re-measurement, and the result of the confirmation test again is NG, the subject 4 assumes that there is no judgment ability in this CC test, and the red / green test Adopt the result of and finish.
[0131]
Next, the flow of processing when (P-) is selected in the first CC test of S602 will be described with reference to FIG. When (P-) is selected in the first CC test, 1 is added to the count value of the counter (-) that counts the number of times (P-) is selected (S621). Next, it is confirmed whether or not the count value of the counter (−) is 3 (S622). If the counter (−) = 3, the power of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B is converted to CC ± 0.50D (S623), and a confirmation test described later is performed (S624). If the result of the confirmation test is good (GOOD), the CC test is continued. If the count value is not 3 in S622, the process proceeds to S625 without performing the power conversion and the confirmation test of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B.
[0132]
Next, it is confirmed whether or not the selection in the previous CC test is (P−) (S625). If (P−), the astigmatism C = C−0.25 is set (S626), and the CC test is performed again (S602). What). If it is not (P−), it is confirmed whether (P +) is selected in the previous CC test (S627). If (P +), the astigmatism degree closer to the objective value is adopted and the process ends (S628). If it is not (P−), it is confirmed whether (=) is selected in the previous CC test (S629). If (=), the astigmatism degree closer to the objective value is adopted and the process ends (S628). If not (=), the degree of astigmatism C = C−0.25 is set (S630), and the CC test is performed again (to S602).
[0133]
If the result of the confirmation test in S624 is not good (NG), 1 is added to the error count (S631). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the cumulative error count is 2 (S632). If the error count is 2, it is returned to the initial value (633), and the process ends (S634). If the error count is not 2, the initial setting is restored (S601), and the CC test is performed again.
[0134]
Next, the flow of processing when (P +) is selected in the first CC test of S602 will be described with reference to FIG. When (P +) is selected in the first CC test, 1 is added to the count value of the counter (+) that counts the number of times (P +) is selected (S641). Next, it is confirmed whether or not the count value of the counter (+) is 3 (S642). If the counter (+) = 3, the power of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B is converted to CC ± 0.50D (S643), and a confirmation test described later is performed (S644). If the result of the confirmation test is good (GOOD), the CC test is continued. When the count value is not 3 in S642, the process proceeds to S645 without performing the power conversion and the confirmation test of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B.
[0135]
Next, the value of astigmatism C is confirmed (S645). If C is 0D, the process ends with C = 0D and A = 180 ° (S646). If C = 0D, it is confirmed whether the selection in the previous CC test is (P +) (S647). If (P +), the astigmatism C = C + 0.25 is set (S648), and the CC test is performed again. (To S602). If it is not (P +), it is confirmed whether (=) is selected in the previous CC test (S649). If (=), the CC test is performed again as it is (to S602). If it is not (=), it is confirmed whether (P-) is selected in the previous CC test (S650). If it is (P−), the astigmatism degree closer to the objective value is adopted and the process ends (S651). If not (P−), the degree of astigmatism C = C + 0.25 is set (S652), and the CC test is performed again (to S602).
[0136]
If the result of the confirmation test in S644 is not good (NG), 1 is added to the error count (S535). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the cumulative error count is 2 (S654). If the error count is 2, it is reset to the initial value (655), and the process ends (S656). If the error count is not 2, the initial setting is restored (S601), and the CC test is performed again.
[0137]
With this configuration, when (P +) or (P−) is selected three times consecutively from the initial response, the power of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B is changed from ± 0.25D to ± 0. The confirmation test will be conducted after raising to 50D. Then, according to the result of the confirmation test, it is determined whether the test is continued or the measurement is reset and reset. If (P +) or (P-) is selected three times in the re-measurement, and the result of the confirmation test again is NG, it is assumed that the subject 4 has no judgment ability in this CC test. , Adopt the result of the red-green test and finish.
[0138]
Next, details of the confirmation test performed in S606, S624, and S644 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the power of the cross cylinder lenses 59A and 59B is converted (S701), and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S702). Then, (P +) and (P-) are presented alternately, “If this 1 looks good, the lever is on the left, if this 2 is good, the lever is on the right, and if it is the same, press the lever button. Please repeat "and repeat the CC test (S703). If (=) is selected, the initial value is returned (S704), and the CC test is retested (S705).
[0139]
When (P +) is selected in the CC test of S703, the fact that (P +) is selected is memorized (S706), (P-) and (P +) are switched (S707), and these are alternately The CC test is performed while presenting and outputting the announcement (S708). If (=) is selected in this CC test, it is considered that the subject 4 cannot judge the CC test of the axis, and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S709), the CC test is re-tested (S710).
[0140]
When (P-) is selected in the CC test of S708, the fact that (P-) is selected is stored in memory (S711) and compared with the result of the CC test (S703) before switching. In this case, since the opposite one is selected in response to the switching between (P−) and (P +), it is determined that the CC test has been performed correctly, and the CC test of each degree is performed. Continue (S712).
[0141]
When (P +) is selected in the CC test in S708, the fact that (P +) is selected is stored in memory (S713) and compared with the result of the CC test (S703) before switching. In this case, although (P−) and (P +) are switched, both respond before and after switching with (P +). Therefore, it is determined that the CC test is not performed correctly, and the initial value is set. D _{θ, 1} (S714), the CC test is re-tested (S715).
[0142]
When (P-) is selected in the CC test of S703, the fact that (P-) is selected is memorized (S716), and (P-) and (P +) are switched (S717). The CC test is performed while alternately presenting and outputting the announcement (S718). If (=) is selected in this CC test, it is considered that the subject 4 cannot judge the CC test of the axis, and the initial value D _{θ, 1} (S719), the CC test is re-tested (S720).
[0143]
When (P +) is selected in the CC test of S718, the fact that (P +) is selected is stored in memory (S721) and compared with the result of the CC test (S703) before switching. In this case, since the opposite one is selected in response to the switching between (P−) and (P +), it is determined that the CC test has been performed correctly, and the CC test of each degree is performed. Continue (S722).
[0144]
When (P-) is selected in the CC test of S718, the fact that (P-) is selected is stored in memory (S723) and compared with the result of the CC test before switching (S703). In this case, although (P−) and (P +) are switched, the response (P−) is made before and after the switching, so it is determined that the CC test is not performed correctly, and the initial Value D _{θ, 1} (S724) and the retest of the CC test is performed (S725). This completes the confirmation test in the CC test. This confirmation test is performed in the same manner as described above regardless of whether the first CC test is selected once (=) and entered the confirmation test, or twice (=) is selected and entered the confirmation test. The same processing is performed.
[0145]
By such a confirmation test, the judgment ability of the subject 4 for performing the CC test can be screened.
[0146]
As the last of the processes related to the CC test, the flow of the confirmation test process performed when the objective value C = 0D and the C value of the glasses is 0D will be described with reference to FIG. This confirmation test is performed on a subject who has advanced C = 0D in S303 and C = 0D in S304 in the flowchart showing the overall flow of the CC test in FIG.
[0147]
When the CC test is completed along the flow of FIG. 22 (S801), the measured astigmatism value is determined (S802). If the measured value C of the astigmatism is less than −0.50D (C <−0.50D), the measured value (awareness value) C is adopted and the process ends (S803). On the other hand, if the measured value C of the astigmatism is −0.50D or more (C ≧ −0.50D), the illustration chart 400 shown in FIG. 26 is presented (S804), and the equivalent sphericity (SE) of the subjective value by the CC test is presented. And alternately switch between the appearance 1) and the perception value itself (C; the appearance 2), and "if the 1 is good, the lever is on the left, if the 2 is good, the lever is on the right, If it is the same, press the lever button. "Announcement is repeatedly output, prompting selection (805). When the lever 6h is tilted to the left and the equivalent sphericity (1) is selected, or when the button 5g is pressed and the same (=) is selected, the value of the equivalent sphericity is adopted and the process ends. (S806, S807). When the lever 6h is tilted to the right and the awareness value (2) is selected, the awareness value is adopted and the process ends (S808).
[0148]
By performing such a confirmation test, it is possible to improve the reliability of the test result when the awareness value obtained by the CC test is 0D and the astigmatism of the glasses is also 0D.
[0149]
Thus, the subjective measurement for the right eye ER of the subject 4 (S6 to S10 in FIG. 16) is completed.
[0150]
(Awareness measurement for left eye; S11 to S15)
When the subjective measurement for the right eye ER of the subject 4 is completed, the subjective measurement for the left eye EL is executed. In the subjective measurement for the left eye EL, the visual acuity measurement of the left eye EL of S11 shown in FIG. 16 is performed in the same manner as the visual acuity measurement of the right eye ER of S6, and the red / green test of the left eye EL of S12 is the right of S7. The same as the red / green test of the eye ER, the + 1D blur test of the left eye EL in S13 is performed in the same way as the + 1D blur test of the right eye ER in S8, and is used to measure the astigmatic axis of the left eye EL in S14. The CC test is performed in the same manner as the CC test for measuring the astigmatic axis of the right eye ER in S9, and the CC test for measuring the astigmatism of the left eye EL in S15 is used for measuring the astigmatism of the right eye ER in S10. The test is performed in the same manner as the CC test. Therefore, the description regarding the details of the subjective measurement for the left eye EL will be omitted by appropriately replacing the details of the corresponding test of the right eye ER.
[0151]
(Binocular balance test; S16)
When the subjective measurement for the right eye ER and the left eye EL is completed, a binocular balance test is performed. The binocular balance test is a test for re-adjusting the awareness value of the CC test performed for the right eye ER and the left eye EL, respectively, and obtaining a prescription value. Hereinafter, the binocular balance test by the optometry apparatus 2 will be described.
[0152]
First, the red / green chart 100 (R, L) and the fusion frame chart 53D are set to the right eye ER and the left eye EL, respectively. In the binocular balance test by the optometry apparatus 2, first, the balance test of the right eye ER and then the balance test of the left eye EL are performed, and the prescription value is calculated from the result.
[0153]
(Right eye balance test)
First, the rectangular fields of view 103l and 103r of the red / green chart 100R for the right eye are blinked (flashing) to alert the subject 4 and either of the red target or the green target is selected. Whether it is clearly visible or not is selected using the button 6g and the lever 6h. When the button 6g is pressed to be “same”, + 0.25D is added to the right eye ER. When the red background side (RED) is selected by the lever 6h, -0.25D is added to the right eye ER. Conversely, when the green background side (GREEN) is selected, + 0.25D is applied to the right eye ER. Add. After joining, a “ping-pong” sound is output and the same test is repeated.
[0154]
When the response of the subject 4 switches from “GREEN” to “RED”, or from “RED” to “GREEN”, the measured value is determined according to the sphericity S applied to the right eye ER at that time. Is done. Specifically, if the sphericity S is + 0.25D or more, the spherical value when the response is “RED” is adopted, and if the sphericity S is less than + 0.25D, the spherical value when the response is “GREEN” is adopted. The
[0155]
When the subject 4 responds “same” following “RED”, the spherical value at the time of “RED” is adopted, and “RED” is responded after “same”. In this case, a value obtained by adding −0.25D to the spherical value at the time of responding “RED” is adopted as the measurement value.
[0156]
By the way, if the subject 4 first responds with “GREEN”, then “same”, then “GREEN”, first “GREEN”, then “same”, then “same” When responding, when first responding “same”, then “GREEN”, when first responding “same”, then “same”, then “GREEN”, 3 times from the beginning If the response is “same”, or if the response is “RED” three times in succession from the beginning, the judgment ability of the subject 4 for this test is suspected to be an error, and the right eye ER balance test Re-measurement is performed.
[0157]
If an error occurs again as a result of the remeasurement, it is determined that the subject 4 does not understand this test. Here, when it is set to perform the same test as the + 1D blurring test after the red / green test described above, the judgment ability is confirmed thereby (see S17 described later). If it is not set, the right eye balance test is terminated.
[0158]
Also, in the re-measurement after the error, if “GREEN” continues twice and “Same” continues twice, or “GREEN” continues four times, the judgment ability of the subject 4 is confirmed. Confirmation test to do that.
[0159]
In the re-measurement, when “GREEN” continues twice and “same” continues twice, an illustration chart 400 is presented, and S + 0.75D is added to the initial value and the initial sphericity and the initial value By alternately switching the values, the subject 4 is made to select which one is clear. When the initial value side is selected or “same”, it is considered that the subject 4 does not understand this test, the sphericity is returned to the initial value, and the balance test for the left eye is skipped. Then, the binocular balance test is completed. On the other hand, when the sphericity side at that time is selected, the right eye balance test is terminated with a value obtained by adding S + 0.75D to the initial value.
[0160]
In addition, when “GREEN” continues for 4 degrees in the re-measurement, the illustration chart 400 is presented, and the sphericity at that time when S + 1.00D is added to the initial value and the initial value are alternately switched, which is Have the subject 4 select whether it is clear. When the initial value side is selected or “same”, it is considered that the subject 4 does not understand this test, the sphericity is returned to the initial value, and the balance test for the left eye is skipped. Then, the binocular balance test is completed.
[0161]
On the other hand, when the sphericity side at that time is selected, S + 1.00D is added to the initial value, and the red / green chart 100 is presented to prompt selection. If the response is “RED” or “same”, the balance test for the right eye is terminated with a value obtained by adding S + 1.00D to the initial value. If the response is “GREEN”, the user is prompted to select again with 1.25D added to the initial value. Here, if “RED” or “same”, the right eye balance test is terminated with a value obtained by adding S + 1.25D to the initial value. If it is “GREEN”, it is considered that the subject 4 does not understand this test, the sphericity is reset to the initial value, and the left eye balance test is skipped and the binocular balance test is completed. To do.
[0162]
(Left eye balance test)
When the right eye balance test is successfully performed, the balance test for the left eye EL of the subject 4 is performed in the same process. If it is considered that the left eye balance test has no ability to judge, the result of the right eye balance test is abandoned, and both the right eye ER and the left eye EL are returned to the initial values before the binocular balance test. It is like that.
[0163]
(Calculation of prescription value)
When the balance test of the right eye ER and the left eye EL is normally performed, the prescription value equivalent sphericity (SE) is calculated based on those results. Hereinafter, a method for calculating the prescription value SE will be described.
[0164]
Here, the measurement value acquired by the above measurement is defined as follows. First, for the right eye ER, the sphericity of the objective value is S (RO), the astigmatism is C (RO), the astigmatic axis angle is A (RO), and the equivalent sphericity is SE (RO). The sphericity is represented by S (RS), the astigmatism is represented by C (RS), the astigmatism axis angle is represented by A (RS), and the equivalent sphericity is represented by SE (RS). For the left eye EL, the sphericity of the objective value is S (LO), the astigmatism is C (LO), the astigmatic axis angle is A (LO), and the equivalent sphericity is SE (LO). The sphericity is represented by S (LS), the astigmatism is represented by C (LS), the astigmatic axis angle is represented by A (LS), and the equivalent sphericity is represented by SE (LS). Also, the difference in equivalent sphericity between objective values of both eyes is defined as SE (RO−LO) = SE (RO) −SE (LO), and the difference in equivalent sphericity between subjective values is defined as SE (RS−LS). = SE (RS) -SE (LS).
[0165]
Further, the prescription values for the right eye ER are expressed as sphericity RxS (R), astigmatism RxC (R), astigmatism axis angle RxA (R), equivalent sphericity RxSE (R), and the prescription values for the left eye EL are The sphericity RxS (L), the astigmatism RxC (L), the astigmatism axis angle RxA (L), and the equivalent sphericity RxSE (L). Further, the difference in equivalent sphericity of prescription values is expressed as RxSE (R−L) = RxSE (R) −RxSE (L).
[0166]
At this time, if the average values of the equivalent sphericity of the right eye ER and the left eye EL of the objective value, the subjective value, and the prescription value are respectively expressed as ObjSE (Ave), SubSE (Ave), and RxSE (Ave), these values Can be obtained by the following equation.
[0167]
[Formula 1]
ObjSE (Ave) = {SE (RO) + SE (LO)} / 2
SubSE (Ave) = {SE (RS) + SE (LS)} / 2
RxSE (Ave) = {RxSE (R) + RxSE (L)} / 2
[0168]
As the average value RxSE (Ave) of the equivalent sphericity of the right eye ER and left eye EL of the prescription value, the average value of the equivalent sphericity of the right eye ER and left eye EL of the subjective value is adopted. That is, RxSE (Ave) = SubSE (Ave).
[0169]
Further, the difference between the equivalent sphericity of the right eye ER and the left eye EL (hereinafter, the difference between the equivalent sphericity of the right eye ER and the left eye EL is referred to as “balance”) RxSE (RL) as the prescription value. The average value of the objective value balance SE (RO-LO) and the subjective value balance SE (RS-LS) is employed. That is, the balance of prescription values is expressed by the following equation.
[0170]
[Formula 2]
RxSE (RL) = {SE (RO-LO) + SE (RS-LS)} / 2
[0171]
In addition, the equivalent sphericity RxSE (R) of the prescription value of the right eye ER is added to the average value SubSE (Ave) of the equivalent sphericity of the subjective value by a value half the prescription value balance RxSE (RL). It is defined as a thing. On the other hand, the equivalent sphericity RxSE (L) of the prescription value of the left eye EL was subtracted from the average value SubSE (Ave) of the equivalent sphericity of the subjective value by half the prescription value balance RxSE (RL). It is defined as a thing. Then, the equivalent spherical spheres RxSE (R) and RxSE (L) of the prescription values of the right eye ER and the left eye EL are expressed by the following equations using the measured values.
[0172]
[Formula 3]
RxSE (R) = {SE (RS) + SE (LS)} / 2
+ {SE (RO) -SE (LO) + SE (RS) -SE (LS)} / 4
RxSE (L) = {SE (RS) + SE (LS)} / 2
-{SE (RO) -SE (LO) + SE (RS) -SE (LS)} / 4
[0173]
The prescription value astigmatism degree RxC and the astigmatism axis angle RxA are assumed to be the values of the subjective values, and are expressed as follows.
[0174]
[Formula 4]
RxC (R) = C (RS)
RxC (L) = C (LS)
RxA (R) = A (RS)
RxA (L) = A (LS)
[0175]
Therefore, it is possible to calculate the prescription value by substituting the obtained measurement values into the equations shown in Equations 3 and 4 and performing calculations.
[0176]
The calculation method of the above prescription value is when the balance test of each of the right eye ER and the left eye EL is accurately performed, that is, when the measurement value can be accurately acquired. If the balance test of the right eye ER and the left eye EL is not accurately performed, and the + 1D blur test (see S17) described later is accurately performed, the measurement result by the + 1D blur test is regarded as a subjective value. And is calculated from the above formula. Further, when neither the right eye ER or left eye EL balance test nor the + 1D blur test is accurately performed, the S, C, and A values obtained in the CC test are regarded as awareness values, and the above formula is used. More calculated.
[0177]
When the prescription value is calculated, finally, a test for confirming whether the prescription value is suitable for the subject 4 is performed. Therefore, the difference between the equivalent sphericity of the objective value of the right eye ER and the left eye EL and the equivalent sphericity of the prescription value, ABS {(SE (RO) −RxSE (R)) + (SE (LO) −RxSE (L))} is considered. Here, “ABS” means taking the absolute value of the value in {}. When this difference is 0.75 D or less, the prescription value is adopted and the process ends.
[0178]
On the other hand, if this difference exceeds 0.75D, an illustration chart 400 is presented and an objective value (1 appearance) and a prescription value (2 appearance) are switched and added, and an announcement is output. And prompts the subject 4 to see which is better. If the objective value side is selected, the objective value is adopted and the test is terminated. On the other hand, when the prescription value side is selected or “same”, the prescription value is adopted and the test is terminated. When the test is finished, the illustration chart 400 is turned off, the test result is displayed, and the binocular balance test is finished.
[0179]
(+ 1D blur test; S17)
The process flow for the binocular balance test also includes a step for confirming the presence or absence of the judgment ability of the subject 4 in this test. For the subject, the + 1D blurring test as described above is executed instead of the binocular balance test.
[0180]
(Awareness value, spectacle power, visual acuity measurement with naked eye, confirmation test; S18 to S21)
When the binocular balance test (+ 1D blurring test) is completed, the subjective values S, C, and A obtained by this are set, and "The glasses power recommended for the customer was obtained. The right eye ER, the left eye EL, and the visual acuity of both eyes are measured (S18). Next, the power of the glasses worn by the subject 4 measured in S2 of FIG. 16 is set, and the visual acuity measurement is similarly performed (S19). Further, similarly, the visual acuity of the naked eye is measured (S20). Needless to say, when the subject 4 is not a spectacle wearer, the visual acuity measurement of S19 is not performed.
[0181]
Subsequently, a confirmation test for confirming which power is most suitable for the subject 4 is performed based on the measurement result of the subjective value, the spectacle power, and the visual acuity with the naked eye. First, “I will show you how you can see the naked eye, how you can see the current glasses, and how you can see the glasses that you recommend this time.” In addition, the measurement result shown to the subject 4 is displayed on the display screen 64q ′ of the monitor device 64q each time with a white line or a white square.
[0182]
Announcing "Shows how the naked eye is visible." With both eyes, the S and C values are set to 0D and the subject 4 is watched for 3 seconds, for example. Next, announcing “Shows how to see with the glasses currently in use.”, Sets the S, C, and A values to the frequency measurement values of the glasses, and gazes at the landscape chart 99 for 3 seconds, for example. Next, “The glasses recommended for customers this time will look like this.” And set the S, C, A values (recommended refractivity) based on the binocular balance test result, and the landscape chart 99 For example for 3 seconds. And, “This is the recommended way to see the glasses for our customers. Please push the button (6g) on the lever (6h) if you want to see it in general and easy to see.” 4 Present for seconds.
[0183]
If the button 6g is pressed during the four seconds, the recommended refractive index is set as the selected refractive index, and the process ends.
[0184]
Also, if the button 6g is not pressed for 4 seconds, announce that "If you want to check how you see the glasses you are currently using, tilt the lever (6h) to the right." If the lever 6h is not operated during the four seconds, the recommended refractive index is set as the selected refractive index.
[0185]
Also, if the lever 6h is tilted to the right during this 4 seconds, set the power of the glasses to both eyes and say, “This is how you see the glasses you are currently using. Please press the button (6g) of 6h) "and present it for 4 seconds, for example. If the button 6g is pressed during these 4 seconds, the spectacle power is set as the selected refractive power, and the process ends.
[0186]
If the button 6g is not pressed during 4 seconds, announcing, "If you want to check how the glasses recommended for the customer look, please tilt the lever (6h) to the left." If the lever 6h is not operated during the 4 seconds, the recommended refractive index is set as the selected refractive index.
[0187]
When the recommended refractive index is determined by the above process, the selected refractive index is set for both eyes at the same time. Then, the display of the measurement result of the selected refractive power (selected spectacle power or recommended refractive power) is clearly indicated with a red line. This completes the confirmation test for the spectacle wearer.
[0188]
Hereinafter, a confirmation test process for a person who is not wearing glasses will be described. First, “We will show you how you can see the naked eye and how to see the glasses recommended to you this time.” In addition, the measurement result shown to the subject 4 is displayed on the display screen 64q ′ of the monitor device 64q each time with a white line or a white square.
[0189]
Announcing "Shows how the naked eye is visible." With both eyes, the S and C values are set to 0D and the subject 4 is watched for 3 seconds, for example. Next, “The glasses recommended for customers this time will look like this.” And set the S, C, A values (recommended refractivity) based on the binocular balance test result, and the landscape chart 99 For example for 3 seconds. The recommended refractive index is the selected refractive index, and the measurement result display of the selected refractive index (recommended refractive index) is indicated with a red line. This completes the confirmation test for those who are not wearing glasses.
[0190]
(Nearest test; S22)
When the confirmation test ends, a near-field test for measuring the near-field power is performed. A near-field test chart 500 shown in FIG. 32 is used for the near-field power measurement. First, “Nearly test will be done. I will explain the near-field test” is announced, and the method of the near-field test will be broadcasted with sound. This includes, for example, a description of the near-field test chart 500, a demonstration of “same view clearly”, a demonstration of “horizontal lines are clearly visible, and vertical lines are blurry”, and explanation of lever operation. It is like that.
[0191]
When the movie broadcast ends, the convergence angle is set. For this purpose, first, the target illumination light source for both eyes is turned off, and the near test chart 500 is switched. Then, the S and C values are converted to a state in which the cross cylinder CC ± 0.50D is added. The conversion formula is a known formula.
[0192]
Next, for example, the near distance d obtained by the convergence of the main body portions 5l and 5r performed in advance, for example. ₁ While converging to a tilt angle θ with respect to mm, a near-term test initial value As corresponding to the age obtained from the following equation is added to both eyes. The following formulas (1) and (2) are general formulas of the adjustment power Ac for the age x, (1) is applied to the age x under 55 years old, and (2) is for the age x over 55 years old. Applied. Also, (3) in the following equation is the near distance d ₁ Addition to mm ₁ (4) is the near distance d ₁ And adjustment power Ac and addition Ad ₁ Is a formula for calculating the near-term test initial value As according to the age. An example of calculating the near-term test initial value As according to age is shown in FIG.
[0193]
[Formula 5]
Ac = 12.5-0.2x (1)
Ac = 7.0-0.1x (2)
Ad ₁ = (1000 / d ₁ )-(Ac) x (1/2) (3)
As =-{(1000 / d ₁ ) -Ad ₁ } = − Ac × (1/2) (4)
[0194]
When the near test initial value As according to the age is added, the target illumination light source for both eyes is turned on.
[0195]
Next, announce that "Perform a near-field test. Grab the lever (6h) and look into the vision tester." Then, “Can the vertical and horizontal lines look the same? If they look the same, press the button (6g) on the lever (6h). If the horizontal lines appear dark and the vertical lines appear light, press the lever (6h). ) Left or right, the vertical line appears dark and the horizontal line appears light, please push the lever (6h) forward or backward. "
[0196]
In the first presentation, when the button 6g is pressed (the horizontal line and the vertical line appear to be dark as well), the near test initial value As corresponding to the age shown in FIG. / D ₁ ) Is added value.
[0197]
In the first presentation, when the lever 6h is tilted to the left or right (the horizontal line appears dark and the vertical line appears light), the sphericity S + 0.25D is simultaneously applied to both eyes. Then, “Can the vertical and horizontal lines look the same? If they look the same, press the button (6g) on the lever (6h). If the horizontal lines appear dark and the vertical lines appear light, press the lever (6h). ) Left or right, the vertical line appears dark and the horizontal line appears light, please push the lever (6h) forward or backward. " Here, when the lever 6h is tilted again to the left or right, a spherical degree S + 0.25D is further applied to both eyes at the same time, and “How is it?” Is announced. S + 0.25D is added until the button 6g of the lever 6h is pressed or until the lever 6h is tilted forward or backward. When the button 6g is pressed or the lever 6h is tilted forward or backward, the near test initial value As is set to (1000 / d ₁ ) Plus the value until the lever 6h is pushed (counts the number of times the button 6g is pushed) or until the lever 6h is pushed forward or backward (the number of times it is pushed forward or backward is not counted). ) Is added to the sum of the sphericity added, and the customer's near-term addition is… D.
[0198]
On the other hand, when the lever 6h is tilted forward or backward in the first presentation (the vertical line appears dark and the horizontal line appears light), the sphericity S-0.25D is simultaneously applied to both eyes. Then, “Can the vertical and horizontal lines look the same? If they look the same, press the button (6g) on the lever (6h). If the horizontal lines appear dark and the vertical lines appear light, press the lever (6h). ) Left or right, the vertical line appears dark and the horizontal line appears light, please push the lever (6h) forward or backward. " Here, when the lever 6h is tilted forward or backward again, sphericity S-0.25D is added to both eyes at the same time, and "How is it?" Is announced. S-0.25D is added until the button 6g of the lever 6h is pressed or the lever 6h is tilted to the left or right. When the button 6g is pressed or the lever 6h is tilted to the left or right, the near test initial value As is set to (1000 / d ₁ ) Plus the value until the lever 6h is pressed (counts the number of times the button 6g is pressed) or until the lever 6h is tilted left or right (the number of times it is tilted forward or backward is not counted) ) Is added to the sum of the sphericity added, and the customer's near-term addition is… D.
[0199]
When the near-field test is completed, the landscape chart 99 is presented to both eyes, the obtained near-field addition power is memorized, and S, C, and A are subtracted from the cross cylinder CC ± 0.50D for both eyes. Convert.
[0200]
(Near vision test; S23)
Subsequently, a near vision test is performed. First, auto-alignment is performed at the same time for both eyes. Announced, “I will measure near vision for both eyes.” And set the Landolt ring target with a visual acuity value of 0.5 and the fusion frame chart 53D. Present. Then, push down the “Lever (6h) toward target line cut”. "Is announced." When the subject 4 tilts the lever 6h in a direction that is recognized as the direction of the break of the Landolt ring, it is determined whether or not the presentation target matches the direction in which the lever 6h is tilted. The visual acuity value is determined by the same process as (S6 shown in FIG. 16). The determined visual acuity value is stored in memory, a landscape chart 99 is presented to both eyes, and the near vision test is terminated.
[0201]
(Determination of prescription value; S24)
When the near vision test is completed, a final measurement result (prescription value) is determined, and “all the vision measurement is completed” is announced, and characters are displayed on the display screen 64q ′. Then, “Please remove your face from the device and look at the monitor device (64q). The measurement result will be displayed on the monitor device (64q)” is announced, and the determined prescription value is displayed on the monitor device 64q. Finally, the PD is returned to 66 mm, the initial setting is performed for both eyes as the landscape chart 99, and then the apparatus is set in the sleep state and terminated.
