11779203 · 2023-10-10 ·

Illusionary motion-in-depth for vision therapy or entertainment is provided by altering the positional disparity by relative speed of movement and/or delay of movement of images of an image pair in motion which are viewed on a digital display device by stereoscopic means.

Device and method for instilling intrinsic motivation regarding eye contact in children affected by eye contact disorders
11160717 · 2021-11-02 ·

This describes a treatment method for autism/ASD intended to induce greater intrinsic motivation to make eye contact in affected children. The treatment method incorporates an artificial demonstration of the phenomenon of eye contact, and that method is described herein along with the principles of action of the treatment and the necessary procedure to perform it. Also described are two embodiments of a therapy tool that can be used to effect the demonstration: first, an item in the form of a cuboid with animatronic eyes affixed to one side, and second, another in the form of a stuffed dog.

METHOD FOR RESTORING BIFOVEAL FUSION IN THE CASE OF ANISOMOTILITY

The method relates to the field of ophthalmology and is intended for postoperative restoring bifoveal fusion in patients, inter alia in children, following concomitant esotropia surgery, with use of liquid crystal glasses. The technical effect of the invention is restoration of bifoveal fusion in accordance with individual ocular motility parameters, using anharmonical alternating of liquid crystal glasses. The technical effect is achieved by the approach during which for patients with a residual angle of deviation of less than 10 degrees after esotropia surgery, a duration of the fixative eye movement of the eyeball (t in ms) is determined for each eye using a Gazelab video eye tracking device produced by BCN Innova (Spain), a duration of occlusion is then calculated in ms for each eye, using the formula: t=40+U, where t is the duration of occlusion in ms; 40 is the minimum time required for visualization between alternations in ms; U is the duration of the fixative eye movement in ms, and the duration of occlusion is set for each eye on liquid crystal glasses that are worn for 6-8 hours a day during 6 to 12 months.

LIGHT CONTROL DEVICES AND METHODS FOR REGIONAL VARIATION OF VISUAL INFORMATION AND SAMPLING
20230152589 · 2023-05-18 ·

Exemplary light control devices and methods provide a regional variation of visual information and sampling (“V-VIS”) of an ocular field of view that improves or stabilizes vision, ameliorates a visual symptom, reduces the rate of vision loss, or reduces the progression of an ophthalmic or neurologic condition, disease, injury or disorder. The V-VIS devices and methods generate a moving aperture effect anterior to a retina that samples and delivers to the retina environmental light from an ocular field of view at a sampling rate between 50 hertz and 50 kilohertz. Certain of these V-VIS devices and methods may be combined with augmented or virtual reality, vision measurement, vision monitoring, or other therapies including, but not limited to, pharmacological, gene, retinal replacement and stem cell therapies.
