Eye movement in response to visual stimuli for assessment of ophthalmic and neurological conditions
11684256 · 2023-06-27 ·

The present invention generally relates to apparatus, software and methods for assessing ocular, ophthalmic, neurological, physiological, psychological and/or behavioral conditions. As disclosed herein, the conditions are assessed using eye-tracking technology that beneficially eliminates the need for a subject to fixate and maintain focus during testing or to produce a secondary (non-optical) physical movement or audible response, i.e., feedback. The subject is only required to look at a series of individual visual stimuli, which is generally an involuntary reaction. The reduced need for cognitive and/or physical involvement of a subject allows the present modalities to achieve greater accuracy, due to reduced human error, and to be used with a wide variety of subjects, including small children, patients with physical disabilities or injuries, patients with diminished mental capacity, elderly patients, animals, etc.

Methods and Systems for Obtaining, Aggregating, and Analyzing Vision Data to Assess a Person's Vision Performance

The present specification describes methods and systems for modifying a media, such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, or Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MxR) media based on a vision profile and a target application. In embodiments of the specification, a Sensory Data Exchange (SDE) is created that enables identification of various vision profiles for users and user groups. The SDE may be utilized to modify one or more media in accordance with each type of user and/or user group.

Visibility Determination System and Visual Field Test Apparatus
20230190091 · 2023-06-22 ·

A visibility determination system for determining whether a target at a position not in a line of sight of a user is visible to the user may comprise a line of sight detection unit that detects the line of sight of the user; a visual recognition determination unit that determines whether the user has visually recognized the target based on the line of sight and the position of the target; and a visibility determination unit that determines whether the target was visible to (seen by) the user. Visibility determination may be based on an arrival path which is a path taken by the line of sight, and/or an arrival time which is a time taken by the line of sight, in going from an initial position that the line of sight was in at a time that the target was displayed until the line of sight arrived at the target.

Portable corneal topographer
