Abstract: A new realistic, inexpensive, adaptable, and portable driver education method that mimics the effects of intoxication in the participants through utilization of a simplified optics device in the form of specialized eyeglasses having binocular, manually-spinnable fresnel prism lenses is provided. The spinnable optics device simulates most of the toxic effects on the central nervous system which are induced by excess alcohol and/or drugs of abuse, resulting in distorted vision and spatial disorientation in the wearer. The driver education method involves the participants wearing the specialized eyeglasses while performing various ambulatory end non-ambulatory tasks.

Abstract: A monocular and binocular spinning optics device for use by doctors, researchers, etc., that creates a specific visual phenomenon in front of one or both eyes of the person wearing the device wherein the lenses are constructed by cutting out and affixing stick-on type lens material, such as fresnel prisms, polarizing material, colored filters, cylinder prisms, reflective material, etc., to a plano-plastic disc. A drive motor rotates the rotating lens, which is held in registry with a stationary, non-spinning lens by spectacle frames. The direction and speed of the motor and therefore the rotating lens, along with any pauses or repetitions, are controlled by a digital computer containing the visual training program, and the visual training program, as well as the construction of the lenses, can be devised by the orthoptic practitioner.
