This will be the last entry in our series of optical instrumentation for optometry. If this is the first article that you are seeing, I would suggest that you take a look at our previous articles about Ophthalmoscope Design, Keratometer Design, and Retinoscopy. This...

Keratometer Optical Design
by Victor Argueta | Opthalmology, optical design, Victor Argueta
In this article, we will continue our description of different optical instruments used by optometrists. Last time we talked about Ophthalmoscopes, today we will talk about another very common optical instrument called the Keratometer. The keratometer was developed...
Ophthalmoscope Optical Layout
by Victor Argueta | FAQ, Opthalmology, Victor Argueta
In the next couple of articles, we will talk about the different instrumentation used by ophthalmologists and optometrists. As you can imagine, there are many restrictions when designing an optical instrument that will be used in a patient. It matters whether the...
Deciphering 4f Optical Systems: A Journey into Fourier Optics
by Victor Argueta | lens design consulting, OFH, optics, optics definitions
Introduction A 4F optical system is a system architecture that uses Fourier Optics. In this article, we will explain why we need them and how to design a simple 4f correlator. We will leave out most of the mathematical derivations, but if you are interested...
In the eyes of the beholder: strides in computer intelligence
by John | Uncategorized
Computer vision modeling has relied on using images broken down into various shapes and colors. This however fails to correctly identify familiar objects when in variations of the model. Say a curled up cat or a dog with a Santa hat.In her 2015 TED talk,...
