Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for amblyopia and ocular deviation correction are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for amblyopia correction, the system includes, an image processing unit to identify a set of image parameters and, when, in operation, the image processing unit modifies a source visual content based on one or more of the set of image parameters to generate visual content and a visualization unit coupled to the image processing unit operable to receive visual content from the image processing unit, the visualization unit having a screen, when, in operation, the screen displays the visual content.

Claims (17)

1. A method of amblyopia treatment, the method comprising:

measuring a first visual function of a first eye of a user;

defining a first set of image parameters based on the first visual function of the first eye;

receiving source visual content; and

generating a first visual content for the first eye by processing the source visual content based on at least one of the first set of image parameters.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, enhancing the source visual content to generate the first visual content responsive to determining that the visual function of the first eye is deficient.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the enhancing comprises, one or more of, the spatial frequency and the contrast of the source visual content to generate the first visual content.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein deficiency of the first eye comprises, at least one of the conditions of, lack of visual acuity, lack of contrast sensitivity, lack of spatial frequency, lack of contour detection, lack of edge detection, stereovision, and mis-orientation.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising, evaluating visual progress of the first eye via re-measuring an updated first visual function of the first eye.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising, redefining an updated first set of image parameters based on the updated first visual function to generate an updated first visual content by processing the source visual content based on at least one of the updated first set of image parameters.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the valuating the visual progress is performed automatically or triggered manually.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, reducing the source visual content to generate the first visual content responsive to determining that the visual function of the first eye is non-deficient.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

measuring a second visual function of a second eye of a user;

defining a second set of image parameters based on the second visual function of the second eye;

receiving the source visual content; and

generating a second visual content for the second eye by processing the source visual content based on at least one of the second set of image parameters.
