20230000345 · 2023-01-05 ·

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.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF AMBLYOPIA USING A 3D DISPLAY
20230233072 · 2023-07-27 ·

Methods, systems, and storage media for projecting a viewer-specific 3D object perspectives from a single 3D display are disclosed. Implementations may: acquire face and eye region image data of a plurality of viewers within a field of view of at least one camera associated with a 3D-enabled digital display; analyze the eye region image data to determine at least one 3D eye position, at least one eye state, at least one gaze angle, and at least one point-of-regard for a viewer relative to at least one camera associated with the 3D-enabled digital display; and calculate a plurality of processed image projections for display by the single 3D display. The digital-processing of input image projection enables a separate optical input to the user's eyes, and by the use of visual-acuity pre-processing of the image—via visual-field kernel, enables the treatment of eye abbreviations, including an Amblyopic-eye without the need for any additional eye-ware, or head-up-displays (HMD's).

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING BINOCULAR VISION

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.

11534361 · 2022-12-27 · ·

An eyesight training device for cognition correction which includes a display unit; a user input unit; and a controller for controlling the display unit to overlap a recognition restraining image, which restrains a visual recognition of a recognition image, with the recognition image and to gradually change a concentration value of the recognition restraining image, and for storing, as recognition level information, information corresponding to a concentration value of the recognition restraining image as of a time when a visibility change confirmation input is input through the user input unit of the visibility change confirmation input is input.

Rehabilitation device for the vestibular ocular system and other neurocognitive functions
11504050 · 2022-11-22 ·

A medical rehabilitation device for clinically rehabilitating individuals suffering from medical conditions affecting the vestibular ocular system, and other neurocognitive functions. The rehabilitation device includes a support base having an elongate slot, and a plurality of arms adjustably attached to the support base via the elongated slot, where each arm includes a magnetic strip for selectively positioning visual targets thereon to solicit patient recognition of colors and positions of the visual targets during both vestibular ocular reflex, and other neurocognitive exercises. Each arm and the support base includes measurement markings extending along the top longitudinal surface of each arm adjacent the magnetic strips and along the elongate slot, respectively, to provide measured and objective charted indicators for vestibular ocular reflex and other neurocognitive functions over time. The arms are adjustable in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal positions to selectively adjust the difficulty of the exercises in a plane of vision.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING VISUAL ABILITY TRAINING USING VISUAL PERCEPTUAL LEARNING

The present invention relates to a method for providing visual perception training using visual perception learning, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining a field-of-view map having a plurality of unit regions to which a vision index reflecting a user's vision ability is assigned; providing a first session using a visual perception task which is performed by displaying a first visual object for central fixation of the user's field of view and a second visual object in the vicinity of the first visual object, and requests the user's response related to at least the second visual object; determining a vision ability changed region among the plurality of unit regions on the basis of the user's response from the first session; and providing a second session using the visual perception task.

ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR HIGHER GRADES OF BINOCULAR VISION

Examples of assessing vergence capability of an individual are described. In an example, a first random dot stereogram is generated. The first random dot stereogram includes a first random arrangement of dots and a first sub-portion positioned against the first random dot stereogram. Thereafter, an input from an individual, identifying the position of the first sub-portion against the first random dot stereogram may be received. In response to receiving the input, a second random dot stereogram comprising a second sub-portion positioned against the second random dot stereogram, is generated. The second random dot stereogram comprises a second random arrangement which is different from the first random arrangement of dots in the preceding first random dot stereogram. In response to the second random dot stereogram, another input to identify position of the second sub-portion against the second random dot stereogram is received.
