Measurement of Anthropometric Parameters using Opto-Mechatronic Positioning System

Abstract

This paper presents an opto-mechatronic system that can be used in the field of optometry to facilitate and improve the measurements performed to determine the parameters needed to build custom progressive lenses (PAL) and position the optical centers of the lens in the patient correct area of view. Using such device improves the anthropometric parameters measurement accuracy, depending on the activity performed by the patient (close or wide range). The system will have the function of placing in space a tablet with specially designed software that capture an image, measures and calculates the individual optometric parameters of the patient.
