  • Occluded contact lens with peripheral vision functionality
    Patent number: 6595636
    Abstract: A contact lens for rehabilitation or training of targeted portions of the brain in which the contact lens has occluded regions to selectively blind portions of the central visual field corresponding to non-targeted areas of the brain to force visual processing to a particular portion of the brain which is thereby stimulated. The region of the contact lens over portion of the pupil of the eye corresponding to the central visual field of the targeted area of the brain is substantially transparent. In order to preserve sufficient visual cues for the patient to maintain balance and orientation, at least a portion of the contact lens over the portion of the pupil of the eye corresponding to the peripheral visual field of the non-targeted area of the brain is also transparent.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of training and rehabilitating brain function using hemi-lenses
    Patent number: 6352345
    Abstract: A method of rehabilitation or training of targeted portions of the brain in which hemi-lenses having semi-opaque radial segments selectively blind portions of the visual processing areas of the brain to force visual processing to a particular portion of the brain which is thereby stimulated. Such rehabilitation consists of having the patient perform visual and non-visual tasks constructed to activate processing in the targeted portion of the brain. The hemi-lenses may be employed in a series of gradually increased translucency to allow the patient's visual system to adapt in stages to the rehabilitated balance between intact visual processing and relearned visual processing.
