One flux forms images of a visual stimulus on the retina, the other flux forms the colour backgrounds thereof, said fluxes being embodied in such a way that they alternately become more intensive. The inventive device comprises a unit embodied in such a way that the light-luminance characteristics of the visual stimulus and the colour backgrounds thereof are modifiable.

The fixed frame defines two windows corresponding in position to the eyes of the wearer, through which light passes. An optic system includes a prism lens, which may have fixed power or variable power by changing shapes thereof. The prism lens is mounted to the fixed frame and is movable between first and second positions, wherein in the first position, light is allowed to pass in a first state with which the eyes are adducted, and in the second position, light is allowed to pass in a second state with which the eyes are abducted. A transmission system is coupled to and selectively drives the prism lens between the first and second positions. Thus, by repeatedly and cyclically moving the prism lens between the first and second positions, the eyes are forced to change between adduction and abduction thereby realizing training of vision.

Abstract: A device (10) for treating eye movement disorders is described. The device is wearable, and utilizes servo controlled prisms to treat disorders of ocular mobility in non-invasive and non-pharmacologic manner. Probe (20) comprises an eye movement sensor.

A corresponding method for treating APN and other eye movement disorders is also described.

Abstract: The system and method of the present invention improve the visual recognition of a subject. The method uses a series of converging sets of objects (100) and includes several stages with specific types of objects (102) displayed at each stage. The types of objects which are displayed change at each stage as the subject's visual recognition improves. The subject advances through levels in each stage. The levels increase in difficulty as the subject advances through the levels of a stage. As the subject advances through the stages, the objects have more meaning in the area of communication. When the sets of objects are first displayed in the frame (104), the sets are in a spaced apart relationship. The sets are spaced apart either vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The sets are then moved towards each other. As the sets are moved together, the subject compares the objects of the sets and communicates whether the objects of one set are similar or different from the objects of another set.

Abstract: The methods and systems of the present invention enable a user to perform eye exercises and training that may aid in relieving eye fatigue and eye strain. In general, the present invention teaches providing movement between associated images having a plurality of objects. When a viewer focuses on a central focal point interposed between the viewer's eyes and the associated images, the viewer perceives, in addition to the associated images, a merged image (also possibly having a plurality of objects) derived from the associated images. Then, by performing one of a number of suitable movements with the associated objects, the viewer's eyes are exercised. For example, by increasing the separation between the associated images along a horizontal axis while the viewer attempts to maintain the perception of the merged image, the viewer's eyes are exercised in such a manner that eye fatigue and eye strain may be relieved.

Abstract: A system for training the visual attention capabilities of a subject presents a series of sets of tests to the subject on a conventional touch screen monitor. Each test includes a central target, a peripheral target and distractor elements around the peripheral target. The display time for the displays and the eccentricity of the peripheral target are held constant within each set of tests. When the subject reaches a desired level of success in identifying the central target and in locating the peripheral target, eccentricity of the peripheral target is increased for the next set of tests. Once eccentricity reaches a maximum value, display time is decreased and eccentricity is decreased for the next set of tests.

Abstract: The teachings of the present invention aid a user in attaining an ergonomic position with respect to a remote object such as a display screen (e.g., VDT) or a manufacturing tool. To that end, various mechanisms which feedback to the viewer information related to position and orientation are taught. A first aspect incorporates a feedback mechanism into a display screen.

In another embodiment, the cluster of lights is replaced with a cluster of four distinct pieces of diffraction grating. The diffraction grating could be such that the intensity of the reflected light varies as the viewer's orientation varies.
