Abstract

Techniques for improved Point of Sale (PoS) transactions are disclosed. The techniques include a PoS terminal that receives biometric data from a consumer, determines an encryption key based on the biometric data, and transmits the encryption key to a mobile device associated with the consumer to cause the mobile device to decrypt a consumer key and transmit an indication of a successful decryption. The PoS terminal further receives the indication of the successful decryption from the mobile device, and retrieves consumer account information responsive to receiving the indication of the successful decryption.

Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for treating and/or determining appropriate prescriptions for one or both eyes of a patient are particularly well-suited for addressing presbyopia, often in combination with concurrent treatments of other vision defects. High-order spherical aberration may be imposed in one or both of a patient's eyes, often as a controlled amount of negative spherical aberration extending across a pupil. A desired presbyopia-mitigating quantity of high-order spherical aberration may be defined by one or more spherical Zernike coefficients, which may be combined with Zernike coefficients generated from a wavefront aberrometer. The resulting prescription can be imposed using refractive surgical techniques such as laser eye surgery, using intraocular lenses and other implanted structures, using contact lenses, using temporary or permanent corneal reshaping techniques, and/or the like.

Abstract

Methods and systems can correct aberrations and/or verify various procedures used to correct aberrations in the eye. One embodiment provides a method for verifying vision correction for a patient's eye comprising measuring irregular aberrations of the eye and determining a proposed refractive correction for treatment of the eye. A central portion of a verification lens is configured so that the central portion corresponds with the proposed correction. The verification lens is then registered with the eye by positioning a peripheral portion of the verification lens upon the sclera so that the central portion is optically aligned with the aberrations. Then a determination is made whether a corrected vision of the eye with the verification lens is acceptable so as to verify the proposed correction.

Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for developing prescriptions for and/or treating presbyopia may use a combination of an alteration to the refractive tissues of the eye with changes in the response of the visual system. The visual system response may include using residual accommodation in a manner similar to that employed by latent hyperopes, a trained response of the pupil, trained psychophysics, or the like. Associated refractive prescriptions may be tailored to take advantage of the subsequent visual system response so as to mitigate presbyopia.
