Abstract
A method of performing an ophthalmic test on an examinee's eyes utilizes a three-dimensional display screen that includes a right-eye image and a left-eye image to induce ocular responses in the examinee's eyes. The right and left-eye images are varied while detection devices are used to monitor the examinee's eyes ocular responses to the variations. The induced ocular responses of the examinee's eyes are then used to diagnose any ocular, mental or neurological conditions present. The ocular response inducing images are preferably included in a three-dimensional video game such that a players' performance while playing the game will be indicative of any disorders that may be present.
Claims20
A method of performing an improved ophthalmic measurement on an examinee utilizing a display that includes a right-eye image that is only delivered to a right eye of said examinee and a left-eye image that is only delivered to a left eye of said examinee, said method comprising the steps of:
- positioning said examinee in front of said display;
- producing visual stimuli in said right-eye image and said left-eye image that induce an ocular response in said examinee's eyes
- measuring said ocular response of said examinee's eyes to diagnose an abnormality of said examinee.
A method of performing an ophthalmic test using a three-dimensional display that produces a three-dimensional image that includes a right-eye image and a left-eye image, said method comprising:
- varying an illumination level between said right-eye image and said left-eye image;
- and
- ring an ocular response of an examinee's eyes to said varying of said illumination level between said right-eye image and said left-eye image to determine an ocular condition of said examinee's eyes.
A method of performing an ophthalmic test on an examinee using a three-dimensional display, said method comprising the steps of:
- positioning said examinee in front of said three-dimensional display;
- providing a game controller to said examinee;
- prompting said examinee to play a three-dimensional video game;
- and
- monitoring an ocular performance of said examinee's eyes while said examinee plays said three dimensional video-game;
- wherein said three-dimensional video game includes images designed to implement an ophthalmic test and induce an ocular response in said examinee's eyes.
