Ophthalmic lenses are ideally measured in accordance with the center of rotation of the eye. Therefore a measuring device was constructed due to this principle to measure lenses with a focimeter. In this work that measuring device was validated. Lenses of ± 4 dpt in spherical and aspherical design were measured across a field of 9x9 measuring points being at 5° distance from each other. This corresponds to a field of view of 40°. The measurement points in x- and y- direction were theoretically calculated to validate the measurement results. Regarding angles of incidence up to 20° it was supposed that the main optical aberration depends on a change in the sagittal and tangential sphere powers which is also defined as astigmatism. Therefore the calculation presents the tangential and sagittal oblique sphere powers depending on the different angles of the line of vision. On average the measurement results and the calculated data of the spherical designed lenses coincide quite good (correlation at 0,98), the systematic deviation of both values on average is 0.01 dpt and the random error (standard deviation) amounts 0.03 dpt on average. The minimum deviation is -0.06 dpt and the maximum is 0.09 dpt. Common focimeters have a measuring inaccuracy of up to 0.06 dpt (Diepes, Blendowske 2002). Therefore the quality of the measured data should be reliable. The aspherical designed lenses were compared to the spherical designed lenses. With increased angles of incidence the astigmatism of the aspherical lenses leads to lower values than the astigmatism of the spherical lenses
Design Intelligence - Pitfalls and Challenges When Designing AI Algorithms in B2B Factory Automation

Feedback management in hearing aids and its challenges have been there for over 60 years. The basic principles of feedback management are still in use to prevent the hearing aids from oscillation. This work focusses on the feedback management in custom style hearing aids by comparing four different Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids. Four test set-ups were created to find valid and reli-able methods and set-ups to test custom hearing aids for their feedback management. The goal was to find out if they could provide 1) stable gain, 2) good sound quality, 3) indicate specific frequencies audible feedback occurs and 4) to test the clinical robustness through subjective experience rating. The principle was: matched gain – matched acoustics.
Purpose: The aim is to be able to advise patients on the choice of sports and exercises regarding the effects on the intraocular pressure.
Methods: The search engines Google Scholar and PubMed were used to search for suitable studies. The studies were summarized, and the most important data were collected in one table for each study. The effect on the IOP was extracted or, if not given in the article, calculated by the difference of means of the IOP after or during exercise, and the baseline IOP before, whenever these values were available.
Findings: A total of 47 studies out of the years 1990 to 2020 that investigated the influence on the IOP of the most popular sports actively practiced in Germany were reviewed and summarized: twelve for running, sixteen for fitness/ weight training, one for swimming/diving, twelve for cycling, four for hiking, and two for yoga.
Conclusions: Throughout all studies and sports it was seen that physical fitness stabilized the IOP. Higher
intensity of exercise led to higher fluctuations of the IOP. Moderate endurance training keeps the IOP fluctuations low and may lead to a lower baseline IOP if practiced on a regular base. Fitness and weight training lead to fluctuations of the IOP in a pronounced manner when performed at moderate and high intensity. Therefore, only a moderate training can be recommended if there is need to keep the IOP stable. Isometric exercise is not recommended as it provokes a rise of the IOP even when performed with light loads. The Valsalva Maneuver should always be avoided as it leads to additional fluctuations of the IOP. Also, the IOP behaved more stable during resistance training when higher fitness was present.
The direct ophthalmoscope is a retinal screening tool that has been in existence and development for more than 150 years, yet, the rapid influence of technological evolution in screening tools, has left the direct ophthalmoscope untouched. The main purpose of this master thesis is to determine if the direct ophthalmoscope has reached its maximum potential of development and, additionally, to determine if a further development, including a more electronic input, would be feasible.
