DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS This embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of the optometry apparatus of the present embodiment.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a computer unit for controlling the driving of each device described later. The computer unit 1 has a memory for a database that stores a large number of subject data in addition to a memory that stores data for optometry, and is also used as a database that manages the subject data. Computer part 1
Is connected to a display 4, a controller 5, an input device 6 such as a keyboard and a mouse, and a relay unit (holopter) 2 and an optotype presenting device 3 via a relay unit 10. Further, the objective eye refractive power measuring device 7 and the lens meter 8 can be connected via the relay unit 10 as needed.

The refractor 2 adds corrective refracting power to the eye to be examined by switching the corrective optical system having various optical elements (lens groups) before the eye to be examined (the optometry window). A microcomputer (not shown) is provided in the reflector 2 and switches the correction optical system based on a control signal of the computer unit 1.

The target presenting device 3 presents a test target such as a Landolt ring to the subject. The optotype presenting device 3 is also provided with a microcomputer (not shown), and the optotype is switched based on a control signal of the computer section 1.

An optometry screen (described later) for performing subjective optometry by the refractor 2 and the optotype presenting device 3 is displayed on the display 4. The display 4 is also used as a display for displaying information of a database stored in the computer unit 1 and the like. Various displays such as an LCD (liquid crystal display) can be used as the display 4. The display 4 is a touch panel, and by touching the screen with an attached touch pen 9, each item can be selected in the same manner as a mouse.

The controller 5 has various operation switches for switching the correction optical system of the refractor 2 and the target to be presented by the target presenting device 3, and transmits a signal of a switching instruction by the switch operation to the computer unit 1. Screen switching switches 11 for switching various information display screens displayed on the display 4 are provided on both sides of the controller 5.
Is provided.

Next, the operation according to the present invention will be described. The examiner checks whether the subject (customer) has returned or is new.
In the case of a new subject, the examiner selects “new registration” from the menu screen displayed on the display 4 with the input device 6 or the touch pen 9. If you select "New Registration",
An input screen for personal data is displayed on the screen of the display 4. The examiner uses the input device 6 to input personal information such as the name, age, address, and telephone number of the subject.

In the case of the second visit, since the past subject data is stored in the database memory of the computer unit 1, a search is performed based on the name, telephone number, frame number and the like inputted by the input device 6. Thus, it is possible to extract personal data, eyeglass data before the previous time, and the like.

When the input (or extraction) of personal information is completed, a screen for inputting inquiry data is called. When "create eyeglasses data" is selected from the selection items displayed on the screen, the display on the display 4 switches from the personal data screen to the eyeglasses data screen. Here, in accordance with the input items on the glasses data screen, the inquiry data such as the purpose of visiting the store (new creation, changing balls, etc.), the chief complaint of the subject, the use environment, the wishes and proposals for creating the glasses, etc., are entered into the input device 6. Enter by.

In subjective optometry, it is convenient to know the objective value obtained by the objective eye refractive power measuring device 7 and the spectacle value (front spectacle value) currently worn by the subject. It is measured in advance by an objective eye refractive power measuring device 7 or a lens meter 8. The data measured by each device is printed out by pressing the print switch of each device,
The data is transferred to the computer unit 1 via the relay unit 10 and stored in the database memory.

Since a large number of subjects' objective value / front glasses value data are stored in the database memory, the subject's current data is called from these. Display 4
From the selection items displayed above, call up the screen of “input objective value / foresight glasses value data” and enter the measurement number printed on the printer output to enter the data corresponding to the measurement number. Is called.

As described above, when the personal data of the subject can be input and called out, these data are transcribed to a memory for optometry and subjective optometry is performed. By selecting the item “Reflector output” from the selection items displayed on the screen, the data is transferred to the optometry memory, and the screen on the display 4 is used for optometry based on these data. Switch to the screen.

FIG. 2 is a display example of an optometry screen displayed on the display 4. The optometry screen is configured to display a display area 20 for displaying optometry data, a presentation target, and the like, and a display area 30 for displaying personal information of a subject side by side on the same screen. The display area 20 includes a refractive power information display unit 21 on which corrected refractive power information added to the eye to be examined by the refractor 2 is displayed, and two front spectacle value display units 22 each displaying left and right anterior spectacle value data. There are two objective value display sections 23 for displaying objective value data of the left and right eyes, respectively, a presented optotype display section 24 for showing presented optotypes presented by the optotype presenting device 3, and the like. Display area 3
At 0, a subject name / age information section 31, a visit purpose window 32, a chief information window 33, and a wish / proposal matter window 34 are displayed.

The optometry is performed mainly by operating the switches of the controller 5 while looking at the information in the display area 20.
Switching the presentation target and the correction optical system of the reflector 2,
Complete correction values and prescription values of S, C, A, etc. are determined. (The details of the optometry and the flow of the optometry are little related to the present invention, and therefore the description is omitted. -266467).

At the time of this optometry, the display area 30 for displaying the personal information of the subject required for determining the prescription value is always displayed side by side, so that the examiner can easily see the information without any trouble. By proceeding with the optometry in consideration of these information, an incorrect prescription can be suppressed as much as possible, and a smooth optometry can be performed. For example, if the request / proposal matter window 34 indicates “for both near and far”, it is known that a near vision inspection is required, and the “close to near” is displayed in the chief information window 33.
If so, it can be seen that it is necessary to adjust the prescription value with an emphasis on near use. In addition, since the name of the subject and the purpose of visiting the store are displayed, it is easy to communicate with the subject. If there is a possibility of presbyopia due to the display of the age, it can be used near the chief complaint or wish. Inspection can be done without forgetting.

When the visit purpose window 32, the chief complaint information window 33, and the wish / proposal matter window 34 are selected with the touch pen 9, a selection window is displayed, and the contents can be changed (correction, addition, deletion, etc.). ing. For example, if there is an input error at the time of the interview, correct it, or if the optometry shows that the refractive power is high, and if the subject wants a high refractive An additional input is made at 34 to be useful for lens creation information. In this way, even when the interview data is changed or information newly obtained during the optometry is added, the user can select from the master data or input using the input device 6 without any trouble without changing the screen. It can be done easily. The changed data is displayed in each of the windows 32 to 34 when the selection window is closed, and the storage in the memory is rewritten.

Information and windows displayed in the display area 30 can be changed to different types of personal information by setting in advance. For example, by displaying various information according to the optometry method and the customer service policy of the examiner, such as personal data such as previous objective value data, sales information, and family information, smoother optometry and customer service becomes possible. . The setting for this change is made by calling up the setting screen from the menu screen and selecting which information is to be displayed.

Further, when it is desired to refer to detailed data such as prescription values or the like before or during the optometry, the changeover switch 11 is pressed to display a database (customer information) screen stored in the computer unit 1. It can be easily switched. When the changeover switch 11 is pressed, a changeover signal is transmitted from the controller 5 to the computer unit 1, and a preset database information screen is displayed on the screen of the display 4 instead of the optometry screen.

For example, the screen is switched to a past data history screen as shown in FIG. Since the past purchase history and optometry data history are registered on the data history screen, it can be used as a reference for determining the prescription value this time or selecting a lens. When returning to the optometry screen, the changeover switch 11 is pressed again to display the optometry screen.

As described above, by providing the controller 5 with a changeover switch for screen switching, complicated operations peculiar to a computer such as a mouse operation, which are conventionally required, can be avoided, and a hand can be transferred to these. Thus, the optometry screen and the database screen can be easily switched only by the controller 5 side. For this reason, even an examiner who is not good at operating a mouse can perform an eye examination smoothly.

Since there are a plurality of database screens in addition to the data history screen shown in FIG. 3, a family list screen, a personal data screen, and the like, it is possible for the examiner to switch from the optometry screen to any screen by operating the changeover switch 11. A convenient one is set in advance. This setting is performed on various setting screens selected from the menu screen. When there are a plurality of screens to be viewed during the optometry, the database may be switched to a different database screen each time the changeover switch 11 is pressed, and then returned to the optometry screen. Further, a plurality of changeover switches 11 may be provided, and a database screen corresponding to the changeover switch to be selected may be displayed.

[0033]

As described above, according to the present invention, personal information such as medical examination data can be confirmed on an optometry screen, so that it is possible to concentrate on optometry and to minimize a wrong prescription as much as possible. Optometry can be performed. In addition, communication with the subject can be facilitated, and the burden on the examiner when data is changed can be reduced.
