Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of visual function detection, and in particular to a portable visual function screening instrument. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread use of electronic devices, the phenomenon of abnormal visual function caused by long-term close-up use of the eyes is gradually increasing. Abnormal binocular vision function can manifest as visual fatigue, monocular vision, diplopia or inaccurate spatial positioning, which can seriously affect study, work and life. Traditional binocular vision function testing mainly relies on professional equipment and personnel. Although it is highly accurate, it is costly and complicated to operate. It is not suitable for family self-examination or large-scale screening in primary medical institutions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a low-cost, highly portable and easy-to-operate binocular vision function testing device to help the public preliminarily screen their simultaneous vision, fusion and stereoscopic vision functions.

[0003] Visual function refers to the ability of the eyes to perceive and process external objects, covering aspects such as light perception, color perception, shape perception (vision), motion perception (stereoscopic perception) and contrast perception. Binocular vision function is mainly divided into three levels: simultaneous vision, fusion vision and stereoscopic vision, which correspond to basic visual perception, image integration and spatial depth recognition ability respectively.

[0004] Simultaneous vision refers to the basic ability of both eyes to perceive external objects at the same time. This function is the basis of binocular vision and the prerequisite for the brain to fuse the images of both eyes. Lack of simultaneous vision will lead to monocular vision, which will affect spatial positioning and depth perception, and easily lead to distance judgment errors. The detection and training of simultaneous vision is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of binocular vision disorders such as strabismus and amblyopia.

[0005] Fusion vision refers to the brain's ability to integrate images from both eyes into a whole, and is the core of binocular vision. Fusion disorders may lead to problems such as diplopia (ghosting) and eye fatigue, which seriously affect the quality of daily life and work. Testing and training of fusion ability can help enhance the stability and comfort of binocular vision, thereby improving the quality of life of patients.

[0006] Stereopsis is the brain's ability to use binocular disparity information to perceive the depth and spatial position of objects. The lack of stereopsis can affect spatial positioning, hand-eye coordination, and the judgment of object movement, thereby limiting daily activities and sports performance. The detection and training of stereopsis is essential for the early detection and intervention of binocular vision dysfunction.

[0007] In clinical practice, patients with abnormal visual function may not have obvious symptoms in the early stage, but as the binocular visual system gradually becomes fatigued, they may show eye discomfort, visual fatigue, and even a tendency to worsen myopia. Therefore, early visual function testing and training play a key role in preventing the development of myopia and improving binocular vision, especially for patients with strabismus, amblyopia, cataracts, etc.

[0008] Existing testing methods mainly include contour stereopsis test, random dot stereopsis test, Randot Preschool Stereoacuity Test, perimeter test, and binocular vision assessment through visual evoked potential (VEP) and other technologies. Although these methods are accurate, most of them rely on large equipment and require professional technicians to operate. They are suitable for clinical diagnosis, but not for personal self-examination or large-scale census. They have the problems of complex operation, expensive equipment and poor portability.

[0009] Based on the above requirements, the present invention proposes a simple home visual function self-testing instrument which is easy to carry, low in cost and easy to operate. Summary of the invention
