Problems solved by technology

Although eye prosthesis 10 and eye socket prosthesis 20 provide users with significant improvements in their facial imperfections compared to no prosthesis, they do not appear natural in many ways.
For example, most conventional eye prostheses 10 do not mimic or reflect the user's natural eyes, which is readily noticeable to the observer.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Figure 4 is an isometric view of a movable eye prosthetic device 110 according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The movable eye prosthesis device 110 , which may be referred to herein simply as "device 110 ", includes a gimbal 120 having at least two axes of rotation 122 , 124 . The eye prosthesis 140 is arranged on the gimbal 120 , wherein the eye prosthesis 140 is movable about at least two rotation axes 122 , 124 . The gimbal 120 may be characterized as a support that allows rotational movement of a subject. Such as Figure 4 As shown, the gimbal 120 may include a plurality of frame members including an eye frame member 126 positioned around an eye prosthesis 140 of an aesthetic article provided with an iris 142 and a pupil 144 .

[0022] Eye frame member 126 may be connected to central rail 128 by arms 130 , thereby maintaining eye frame member 126 in a substantially stationary position relative to central rail 128 . In this way, eye fr...

Abstract

Movable ocular prosthesis devices and related systems and methods for moving ocular prostheses, including support members. The eye prosthesis is mounted on the support member, wherein the eye prosthesis is movable about at least two axes of rotation. The control system controls the movement of the eye prosthesis based on sensing the movement of the pupil of the human eyeball.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to prostheses, and in particular to movable ocular prostheses and related systems and methods. Background technique [0002] When a person loses an eyeball due to disease or injury, it is often camouflaged through the use of cosmetic replacements called eye prostheses. figure 1 is an illustration of a prior art eye prosthesis 10 . The eye prosthesis 10 is typically formed of a hardened resin material and is designed to fit the user's eye such that the eye prosthesis 10 takes on the appearance of a natural eye. The eye prosthesis 10 has an iris 12, generally with a fixed diameter pupil 14, wherein the iris 12 is colored to match the color of the wearer's remaining natural eye iris. [0003] Orbital prostheses are used to aesthetically camouflage the eyeball and surrounding muscles and tissue when the eyeball and surrounding muscles and tissues are lost due to disease or injury. Figure 2-3 is a front view and a...
