  • Method and system for treating binocular anomalies
    Patent number: 8602555
    Abstract: A system for treating binocular anomalies. The system includes one or more imaging devices, one or more visual displays, and a computing device. The imaging devices may include right and left imaging devices that capture images of a patient's right and left eyes, respectively. The displays may include right and left displays that provide right and left visual stimulation, respectively. The computing device identifies right and left locations on the right and left retinas, respectively, based at least in part on images of right and left eyes, respectively. The brain fuses images positioned at the right and left locations on the retinas into a single image. The computing device transmits right and left positioning signals to the right and left displays, respectively, that indicate that the right and left visual stimulation, respectively, are to be displayed so they are positioned at the right and left locations, respectively, on the retinas.

  • Method for designing spectacle lenses taking into account an individual's head and eye movement
    Patent number: 7090348
    Abstract: A method for designing ophthalmic lenses, including progressive addition lenses, and lenses produced by the method are provided. The method permits the direct correlation of an individual's subjective assessment of the lens' performance and the objective measure of lens performance relative to the individual. The method permits generation of lens designs based on the head and eye movement of the individual and the designing of customized lenses.
