Abstract
A system for treatment of cyclo deviation of one or both eyes of a patient and related methods are disclosed. The system for treatment of cyclo deviation may include eyeglasses with lenses and a frame wherein at least one of the lenses is a prism. The prism may be disposed such that a primary plane of the prism does not lie perpendicular to the primary gaze of the patient. The prism may be rotated such that it is not co-planar with the other lens of the eyeglasses. For example, the prism may be oriented in a base-out configuration and also be tilted in a pantoscopic (e.g., top out) or retroscopic (e.g., bottom out) manner.
Claims37
Eyeglasses comprising:
- a first prismatic lens, wherein said first prismatic lens comprises a first prism, wherein said first prism comprises a first prism direction of base and a first prism primary plane;
- a second lens;
- and
- a frame, wherein said first prismatic lens and said second lens are mounted to said frame, wherein an axis perpendicular to said first prism direction of base and within said first prism primary plane is not parallel to said second lens, wherein said eyeglasses are configured for the treatment of cyclo deviation in a patient.
