  • Publication number: 20230210363
    Abstract: A system to perform remote oculography includes light-occluding goggles configured to be worn by a patient. The light-occluding goggles include an infrared camera positioned to capture one or more first images of a first eye of the patient. The light-occluding goggles also include a display positioned such that it is viewable by a second eye of the patient. The display is configured to display a pattern for the patient to view. The light-occluding goggles also include a sensor configured to detect information regarding a position of a head of the patient. The system also includes a visible light camera configured to capture one or more second images of the patient as the patient wears the light-occluding goggles.

  • Patent number: 11633143
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing ocular cyclotorsion are provided utilizing an inter-aural axis location assembly, with a first gyroscope connected to the inter-aural axis location assembly, and a camera assembly for retinal imaging, with a second gyroscope connected to the camera assembly. A processor is utilized to calculate angles between the disc-foveal line, skull-horizontal axis, and earth-horizontal axis for use in determining ocular cyclotorsion, and the determinations or calculations may be used to generate a diagnostic report that may be provided via an output device.
