Method and Device for Improving Visual Performance

A system for improving visual performance, comprising:

• a first display element for displaying at least one moving grid having a plurality of grid elements;
• at least one portable closure element for the occlusion of at least one eye;
• a portable eye tracking device for measuring at least one characteristic value of a non-occluded eye;
• a first control unit with a first communications interface to the eye tracking apparatus and a second communications interface to the at least one portable closure element;
• a second control unit connected to the first display element and comprising a third communication interface to the first control unit, wherein the second control unit is adapted to provide a display to the non-occluded eye of the at least one moving grid on the first display element controlled on the basis of the at least one characteristic value measured by the portable eye-tracking device, and wherein the second control unit is adapted to control display of additional attention-capturing stimuli to the non-occluded eye on the first display element;
• and
• a control device having a third control unit, a second display element, at least one input device and at least a fourth communication interface to the second control unit;
• wherein the second control units is further adapted to collect operating data for transfer to the third control unit, receive control information from the third control unit and to operate the first display unit, taking into account the control data received from the third control unit of the control device, and
• wherein the third control unit is adapted to display on the second display element the transmitted operating data of the first display unit and is adapted to send control information based on an input from the at least one input device to the second control unit.

A method for improving a visual function, comprising:

• occlusion of an eye by means of a closure element;
• measuring at least one characteristic value of a non-occluded eye by an eye-tracking device;
• and
• displaying for a non-occluded eye moving grids and attention-capturing stimuli on a first display element, which is controlled by a control unit based on at least one characteristic value measured by the eye-tracking device.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory storage medium for improving a visual function, comprising:

• a first logic for causing occlusion of an eye by means of a closure element
• a second logic for measuring at least one characteristic value of a non-occluded eye by an eye-tracking device;
• and
• a third logic for causing display to a non-occluded eye moving grids and attention-capturing stimuli on a first display element, wherein the third logic uses measurements of the at least one characteristic value performed by the second logic.
