  • Lateral vision controlling device
    Patent number: 5424786
    Abstract: A lateral vision controlling device is disclosed which decreases or eliminates visual stimuli entering one of the hemispheres of the brain. The device includes a pair of lenses, with each lens having a transparent portion and a masked portion. The masked portion reduces visual stimuli entering the side of the person's eyes that corresponds to the hemisphere of the brain in which the visual stimuli is to be reduced. With a person having a dominant hemisphere of the brain, it is advantageous to reduce or eliminate visual stimuli entering the other hemisphere of the brain.
