Abstract
The present invention provides a computerized operator-controlled optical system and method for tracking eye exercises of a patient, the system including an optical tracking device adapted to allow an operator to track eye exercises of a patient, a patient-activated apparatus for performing eye exercises of binocular vision and a processor adapted to receive data from the optical tracking device and from the patient-activated apparatus thereby providing the operator with at least one indication of the eye exercises of said patient over time.
Claims11
A computerized operator-controlled optical system for tracking eye exercises of a patient, the system comprising:
- a) an optical tracking device adapted to allow an operator to track eye exercises of a patient;
- b) a patient-activated apparatus for performing eye exercises of both eyes together, the patient activated apparatus comprising:
- i. a near frame;
- ii. a far frame;
- iii. a rail upon which said near frame and said far frame are vertically disposed;
- and
- iv. patient activated controller buttons for moving at least one of said near frame and said far frame along said rail and
- c) a processor adapted to receive data from said optical tracking device and from said patient-activated apparatus thereby providing said operator with at least one indication of said eye exercises of said patient over time,
- wherein said patient a patient-activated apparatus further comprises:
- a. an ocular apparatus disposed at a front end of said patient-activated apparatus, said ocular apparatus comprising:
- i. two viewing apertures, each disposed to be located in front of one of said patient's eye;
- ii. each of said viewing apertures adapted to receive at least one of:
- a. an optical lens;
- b. an optical filter;
- and
- c. a prismatic lens,
- wherein said first and said second picture are test images selected from at least one of a picture, a photo, an alphanumeric symbol and at least one colored shape, and
- wherein said patient-activated apparatus further comprises an audio feedback element for generating, during said eye exercises, an audio signal whose characteristics are indicative of a distance of one of said test images from said viewing apertures.
