Verily Health Inc. Patent US12605063B2 — Visual Acuity Measurement in VR Headset
Summary
The USPTO granted Patent US12605063B2 to Verily Health Inc. on April 21, 2026. The patent covers a dual-display virtual reality headset with dichroic filter optics configured for automated visual acuity testing, using a smaller secondary display synchronized with pixel-control circuitry to present test patterns. The application was filed March 30, 2023, with 20 claims allowed.
What changed
The USPTO issued Patent US12605063B2 to Verily Health Inc. covering a VR headset system with two displays of differing size and resolution, a dichroic filter routing visible light from each display toward the eye, and control circuitry that darkens the primary display while activating the secondary display to present visual acuity test patterns. CPC classifications span A61B (diagnosis/surgery), G02B (optics), and G06F (input technology).
Manufacturers developing VR-based vision testing applications or medical-optics devices should review the claim scope to assess potential freedom-to-operate considerations. The patent's dual-display architecture with synchronized test-pattern activation may overlap with existing or planned product roadmaps in digital health and diagnostic eyewear.

Abstract
A headset includes a first display, a second display that is smaller than the first display and has lower resolution than the first display, and a dichroic filter positioned to pass visible light from the first display toward the eye and reflect visible light from the second display toward the eye. Pixel data control circuitry is coupled to darken the first display while simultaneously activating the second display to display a pattern for testing visual acuity, responsive to a first visual acuity test selection. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
