An apparatus for screening, treatment, monitoring and/or assessment of visual impairments, comprising electronic means for simultaneously applying two separate and unrelated processing methods to images presented to a patient's eyes; a first processing method being applied to an non-amblyopic eye (the eye with the better vision), and a second processing method being applied to an amblyopic eye (the weaker eye, or the impaired eye). A method for screening, treatment, monitoring and/or assessment of visual impairments, comprising: a. defining a starting point, wherein differences between a patient's eyes are completely, or as closely as practically possible, corrected, to enable two identical or similar images to be transferred to the brain from the patient's eyes; b. defining an ending point, wherein there is no correction applied to any of the patient's eyes; c. defining a screening, treatment, monitoring and/or assessment plan, for initially applying correction to images according to the starting point, then gradually reducing the correction, at a controlled and predetermined rate, towards the ending point; and d. applying the plan to images presented to the patient's eyes, while monitoring patient's performance.

Disclosed is an eye training system (10) including a head-mountable computing device (100) comprising at least one display module (106, 106′) arranged to be viewed by the wearer of the head-mountable computing device when wearing the device; and a display processor (108) coupled to the at least one display module for controlling the at least one display module and adapted to display an initial set of eye exercises on the at least one display module; a sensor arrangement (120) for monitoring eye responses of the wearer to the displayed initial set of eye exercises; and a data processor (110) adapted to receive eye response data from the sensor arrangement and to process the eye response data; wherein the display processor is further adapted to display a subsequent set of eye exercises on the at least one display module in response to a processing result of the processed eye response data. A computer program product is also disclosed.

In various embodiments, a head-mounted apparatus having first and second display screens for, respectively, displaying visual content dichoptically to left and right eyes of a user is utilized to treat, improve, or prevent degradation of the user's vision.

A system of patterned balls configured for use in therapies, the system including a computing device configured to receive a user input associated with a first user condition, correlate the first user condition to a first pattern, select a first ball that includes the first pattern correlated to the first user condition, and present the first ball to the user. A first ball, including a first pattern comprising the first color and the second color disposed on the first ball, a first axis of rotation, a second ball, including a second pattern comprising the third color and the fourth color disposed on the second ball, a second axis of rotation, a suspension assembly configured to suspend the first ball and the second ball in orientations, and a rotation apparatus configured to rotate at least the first and second ball. A method for therapies is also disclosed.

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.

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for improving binocular vision, which generate a virtual image moving between two different depths to stimulate and then strengthen the weaker/abnormal eye of the viewer to eventually improve or even restore his/her binocular vision based on the viewer's eye information. The system comprises an eye tracking module and a virtual image module. The eye tracking module is configured to provide eye information of the viewer. The virtual image module configured to display a first virtual object by projecting multiple normal light signals to a viewer's first eye to form a normal image and corresponding multiple adjusted light signals to a viewers second eye to form an adjusted image.

A method for improving stereoacuity; it includes presenting weak eye visual information to a weak eye of the patient and dominant eye visual information to a dominant eye of the patient, where a level of the weak eye visual information and a level of the dominant eye visual information are set to an initial ratio; gradually adjusting the initial ratio such that the level of the dominant eye visual information gradually approaches the level of the weak eye visual information; continuous after the previous period of time, setting the level of the weak eye visual information and the level of the dominant eye visual information to a second ratio and gradually adjusting the second ratio such that the level of the dominant eye visual information gradually approaches the level of the weak eye visual information.

A system for testing and/or training the vision of a user is disclosed herein. The system includes at least one camera, a visual display device having an output screen, and a data processing device operatively coupled to the at least one camera and the visual display device. In one embodiment, the data processing device is programmed to determine a head position, head velocity, and/or head speed of a user during a vision test or vision training routine from a plurality of images of the head of the user captured by the at least one camera. In another embodiment, the data processing device is programmed to determine, based upon an input signal received from a user input device, a contrast display setting for a screen background relative to at least one visual target, the contrast display setting enabling the user to gradually adapt to increasing levels of visual stimulation.

A fully wearable, wireless soft electronic system that offers a portable, highly sensitive tracking of eye movements (vergence) via the combination of skin-conformal sensors and a virtual reality system. Advancement of material processing and printing technologies based on aerosol jet printing enables reliable manufacturing of skin-like sensors, while the flexible hybrid circuit based on elastomer and chip integration allows comfortable integration with a user's head. Analytical and computational study of a data classification algorithm provides a highly accurate tool for real-time detection and classification of ocular motions. In vivo demonstration with 14 human subjects captures the potential of the wearable electronics as a portable therapy system, whose minimized form factor facilitates seamless interplay with traditional wearable hardware.
