Problems solved by technology

The number of pixels required for high-quality images is in the range of millions; however a fiber optic bundle consisting of millions of twisted wires would be impractical
[0047] For the reasons mentioned above, Lamprecht's solution resulted in a large, heavy and cumbersome device designed as a helmet
However, even if such a helmet mount might be feasible, it would be impractical for everyday use, and since the resolution provided by the light guide cable is limited, would not allow sufficient resolution to obtain good quality image
[0048] In conclusion, it can be stated that although Lamprecht's idea was conceived as early as 1994, the long felt problem of impaired vision associated with ocular deviation remains unsolved and requires a suitable solution

Embodiment Construction

[0092] refer to Figure 5-7 , an embodiment of the system of the present invention is shown.

[0093] Generally, a system 10 is shown that includes a head unit 12 that is electrically connected to an external processing and energy supply element 16 via a connection cable 14 that is wearable by a patient 9 . This element includes a processing unit and an energy source, such as a battery pack.

[0094] shown in Figure 6a In an alternative embodiment, the system is constructed as an integral head unit 18 comprising a processing unit and battery pack 30 retrofitted within the head unit.

[0095] The head unit is preferably configured and dimensioned for ease of use when it is worn. The unit can be configured as eyeglasses.

[0096] In further disclosure it will be referred to as eyewear so as to include any related device used to aid vision or to protect the eyes, such as spectacles, goggles, spectacles and the like.

[0097] In a further explanation, the term eye tracking w...

Abstract

Method and system for treating of visual impairment associated with misalignment between eyes of a patient is described. The invention allows to obtain electronically of an image of an object at which one eye of the patient is staring, calculating angular deviation between staring direction of this eye and the second eye and displaying before the second eye the image after it has been electronically processed so as to correct the angular deviation and to obtain the image, which would be perceptible by the brain as a single three dimensional stereoscopic image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to ophthalmology, and more particularly to the treatment of visual impairment caused by a condition in which a patient's eyes are not properly aligned such that the gaze of each eye is not directed at the same point in space, thus preventing correct binocular vision. vision. [0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and systems for treating vision impairment associated with extraocular muscle conditions or other problems leading to a phenomenon known as diplopia (double vision). One of the conditions that causes double vision is called strabismus. However, it should be kept in mind that the present invention is not limited to the treatment of strabismus and it may also be used to treat other kinds of visual impairment associated with diplopia. It should also be borne in mind that the invention can be used not only for therapeutic treatment itself, but also for exercise and / or rehabilitation of pe...
