Systems and techniques are disclosed for supporting multiple deployment configurations to accommodate a wide range of clinical and operational environments. In some implementations, data indicating an instruction to perform a phoropter operation for a vision examination is obtained. A first command corresponding to the phoropter operation is determined. A particular plugin corresponding to the first command is selected from a library of plugins and based on the classification. The library identifies (i) a set of phoropter classifications for the vision examination and (ii) one or more hardware-specific command rules for each phoropter classification included in the set of phoropter classifications. A second command for the phoropter is generated by applying one or more particular hardware-specific command rules specified by the particular plugin. The second command is provided for output in response to the instruction.

AUGMENTED VISION EXAMINATION TECHNIQUES USING MACHINE LEARNING
Systems and techniques are disclosed for augmenting and/or automating aspects of vision examinations. In some implementations, context data is obtained from a plurality of data sources. A candidate command for adjusting a hardware component of optometric equipment is determined based on the current state of the vision examination. Prompt data for one or more trained machine learning models is generated based on the candidate command. The prompt data is provided to a hosting system associated with the one or more trained machine learning models. Model output data generated by the one or more trained machine learning models is obtained from the hosting system in response to providing the prompt data. The model output data is parsed based on the candidate command to generate one or more command-specific executable instructions for the hardware component. Output data representing the one or more command-specific executable instructions is provided for output.

Systems, apparatuses, and techniques are disclosed for enabling a remote vision examination for a user accessing a system having a user device, a display, and a sensor. In some implementations, a communication session is established over a network between the user device and at least a first provider device included in one or more provider devices. Calibration data is obtained from the user device during the remote session. An egocentric distance is determined between the user and the user device based on the calibration data. A determination that a set of criteria are satisfied is made based on the egocentric distance and the calibration data.
