Matching Prescription & Visual Acuity: Towards AR for Humans

Abstract

An increasingly important part of usuable near-eye displays to allow use by users who use vision correction such as that provided by glasses and contact lenses. Recent research indicates that over 20% of world population is myopic, and this percentage is increasing [Holden et al. 2016]. Commercial prototypes have offered an additional prescription lens pair or a glasses-compatible design, but both of these approaches increase the size and weight of the device. Ideally, a user’s prescription should be considered from the optical design stage for the smallest form factor.
