System, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media related to correction of vision defects using a visual display
A method of at-home monitoring of eye conditions using a head mounted display that is capable of establishing a visual model associated with a patient. The visual model may include data related to a quality of the patient's vision. The patient may use the system to establish a visual model periodically, such as daily, and the system may compare the visual model to previous visual models and send an alert to the patient's physician if changes meeting a given criteria are detected. This may allow the physician to immediately take steps to save the patient's eyesight where a delay in treatment may result in vision loss.
1. A method of at-home monitoring of eye conditions, the method comprising:
providing a system to a patient, the system comprising a database and a model controller where:
the model controller is configured to establish a visual model associated with the patient and to store the visual model in the database;
the visual model includes data related to a quality of the patient's vision;
the data includes data acquired using eye tracking;
the model controller is further configured to establish a boundary as a function of the data associated with the visual model, the boundary being indicative of an area to be corrected within the patient's vision; and
the model controller is further configured to establish a retinal map as a function of the boundary and
store the retinal map in the database;
testing the patient's eyes with the system to produce the visual model;
comparing the visual model with prior visual models to detect changes; and
notifying a physician of the changes;
where the database is cloud-based;
where the visual model is established using a computer-based system contained in a head mounted display.
2. The method of claim 1 where the visual model is established using a computer-based system contained in an Augmented Reality head mounted display.
3. The method of claim 1 where the visual model is established using a computer-based system contained in a mobile phone.
4. The method of claim 1 where testing the patient's eyes occurs regularly.
5. The method of claim 1 where notifying the physician of the changes occurs when the changes meet designated criteria.
6. The method of claim 1 where notifying the physician of the changes occurs via radio frequency transmission.
7. The method of claim 1 where testing the patent's eyes is performed by the patient.
8. The method of claim 1 where testing the patient's eyes is performed at the patient's home.
9. The method of claim 1 where the physician is notified remotely if certain criteria indicating deterioration in the eye occurs.
