  • Publication number: 20050213035
    Abstract: An apparatus for displaying a virtual image to perform training for correction of strabismus includes an image capturing section for capturing an outside image such that a normal line-of-sight direction is always positioned at a center of the captured image, a display section for displaying the outside image captured by the image capturing section, an ocular optical system disposed in front of an eye, having a transparent plate-formed member facing the eye, and a control section that moves the image displayed by the display section from a strabismic line-of-sight direction to the normal line-of-sight direction. The apparatus leads light from the display section to the eye by the ocular optical system to provide the virtual outside image displayed by the display section, and makes light from the outside pass through the plate-formed member to lead the light to the eye to provide a real image of the outside.
