study on contact lenses. The sampling patterns used in Chapters 8 <strong>and</strong> 10 were adapted<br />

to the geometry of the multifocal designs of the contact lenses.<br />

Fig. 2. 21. Photograph of the LRT2 setup from above. The input channel is shown in<br />

green, the pupil channel in orange, <strong>and</strong> the retinal channel in red. The laser scanner is<br />

not visible from above. Examples of pupil images, in which the software<br />

superimposes the sampling pattern, <strong>and</strong> retinal images, are also shown.<br />

The light reflected off the retina is collected by a cooled highly sensitive CCD camera<br />

(12 bits, 30 frames per second with 2x2 binning, 1024x1024 pixels, pixel size: 14<br />

mx14 m, nominal maximum quantum efficiency: 20% (700 nm); model 1M15 by<br />

Dalsa, Waterloo, Canada), conjugate to the eye retinal plane (retinal channel). In<br />

addition to record aerial images, this camera can display them in real time. This allows<br />

to find objectively the best focus position while assessing the aerial image for a<br />

centred ray. During the measurement, the retinal camera is synchronised with the<br />

scanner <strong>and</strong> the pupil camera.<br />

In the pupil channel a CCD (8 bits, 60Hz (video), 646 (horizontal) x 485(vertical)<br />

pxls, pixel size: 7.4m x 7.4m; model XC-55 by Sony Corp., Tokyo, Japan)<br />

continually monitors the pupil <strong>and</strong> records pupil images during the measurement.<br />

Pupil monitoring prior to the measurement helps to verify that everything is ready for<br />

the measurement, assisted by marks superimposed on the pupil image in the control<br />

program (see Fig. 2. 23): pupil located on the corresponding plane (pupil edges<br />

focused), alignment of the center of the pupil <strong>and</strong> the optical system (centration cross),<br />

suitability of the sampling pattern to the pupil diameter (small circumferences for<br />

samples entry locations <strong>and</strong> circumferences of different diameters to estimate pupil<br />

size).<br />

Pupil monitoring during the measurement allows to verify that no anomalies, such<br />

as blinking, contact lens movements on the eye, large eye movements, tear problems,<br />

etc, occurred <strong>and</strong> to ensure the eye’s stability. Five IR LEDs (peak wavelength 880±80<br />

nm) arranged in a circular frame in front of the eye illuminate the pupil during the<br />
