Abstract

A component for a mobile computer device, such as a smartphone, can be secured to the housing of the mobile computer device. The component can deflect the light of a built-in light source of the mobile computer device with an optical element and optionally filter the same, or can provide its own light source to improve the option of measuring eccentric photorefraction using the mobile computer device.

Claims (16)

1. A method for corrective lens determination, the method comprising:

determining a distance between a mobile computer apparatus and a head of a user; recording an image of an eye of the user; and

carrying out an eccentric photorefraction determination based on the image and the distance,

wherein the determination of the distance is based on performing at least two of:

1) inputting an estimated length of an arm of the user into the mobile computer apparatus,

2) inputting a length of a selfie stick into the mobile computer apparatus, or

3) utilizing an autofocus setting of a camera of the mobile computer apparatus.

2. The method for corrective lens determination as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the length of the arm of the user is inputted into the mobile computer apparatus.

3. The method for corrective lens determination as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the length of the arm of the user is determined based on the length of the selfie stick.

4. A computer program for a mobile computer apparatus, wherein the computer program is stored on a non-transitory storage medium, and wherein the computer program, when executed on a processor of the mobile computer apparatus, causes the mobile computer apparatus to:

perform the method for corrective lens determination as claimed in claim 1 .

5. A mobile computer apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory data storage medium on which the computer program as claimed in claim 4 is stored,

wherein the computer program is executed on the processor.

6. The method for corrective lens determination as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the length of the arm of the user is determined based on the autofocus setting of the camera.
