3D Visual Brain Therapy Layout for Precise Eye Movement Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional eye movement exercises lack depth component, struggle with controlling spatial orientation and isolating eye movements from head movements, leading to imprecise and non-repetitive eye exercises.
Innovation Solution
A visual brain therapy device with a vertical and horizontal panel, equipped with lights and a controller, that provides three-dimensional eye exercises through controlled light patterns to stimulate specific brain areas, ensuring precise and repeatable eye movements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional eye movement exercises are performed on a two-dimensional surface (iPad or paper), then the exercises are simple to implement, but they lack depth component and do not fully mimic real-life eye movements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional eye exercises on flat surfaces to three-dimensional eye exercises by positioning lights at different depths and distances from the patient's eyes. The system includes lights arranged in vertical and horizontal planes at varying distances, creating a three-dimensional visual field that mimics real-life eye movements and adds the missing depth component to eye movement training.
2Manufacturing precision
If conventional eye movement exercises are performed without controlling spatial orientation, then the exercises are easy to perform, but the spatial orientation of the screen relative to the patient cannot be controlled, making object movements imprecise and difficult to repeat
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the visual field into distinct spatial components with lights positioned at specific locations in three-dimensional space. Each light's position is precisely defined relative to the patient's eyes, with controlled vertical and horizontal angles and distances. This segmentation allows precise control and repeatability of spatial orientation while maintaining ease of operation through automated positioning.
3Measurement precision
If conventional eye movement exercises are performed without head immobilization, then the exercises are comfortable for the patient, but it is difficult to isolate eye movement apart from head movement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a chin rest as an intermediary device that gently supports the patient's chin to stabilize the head position during eye movement exercises. This intermediary structure allows the patient to maintain a comfortable and natural head position while providing sufficient stabilization to isolate eye movements from head movements, enabling precise measurement of pure ocular motor function.

AI summary
A visual brain therapy device comprises a vertical panel, a horizontal panel, a plurality of lights and a controller. The vertical panel has an aperture, where the aperture has an upper edge and an opposite lower edge. The horizontal panel has a front end and an opposite back end, where the front end of the horizontal panel aligns with the lower edge of the aperture. Each of the plurality of lights is mounted on either the vertical panel or the horizontal panel. The controller is configured to activate each of the plurality of lights in a pattern, where the pattern comprises one of convergence, divergence, saccades and anti-saccades.
