Abstract

The present invention provides a computerized operator-controlled optical system and method for tracking eye exercises of a patient, the system including an optical tracking device adapted to allow an operator to track eye exercises of a patient, a patient-activated apparatus for performing eye exercises of binocular vision and a processor adapted to receive data from the optical tracking device and from the patient-activated apparatus thereby providing the operator with at least one indication of the eye exercises of the patient over time.

Claims (41)

1 . An automated, standalone, audio-feedback Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system for tracking eye exercises of a patient, the system comprising:

an eye piece section;

a middle section;

a rear section, the sections being nestable in a telescopic manner,

an extendable telescopic 3-step rail element including an extension rail mechanism, comprising:

a rear rail element,

a middle rail element,

an eyepiece rail element, wherein the middle rail element is nested in the rear rail element and the eyepiece rail element is nested in the middle rail element,

a metallic spring belt used to extend or retract the extendable telescopic 3-step rail element, and

a first movable screen movable along the extendable telescopic 3-step rail element,

wherein the telescopic sections are adapted to house

a) an Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical tracking device adapted to continuously, automatically, track eye exercises of a patient,

b) a user-activated apparatus for performing eye exercises of both eyes together, and)

c) a processor adapted to receive data from the Artificial Intelligence-controlled eye tracking device and from the user-activated apparatus thereby providing the user with eye exercises for improving user eye function over time.

2 . An automated audio-feedback Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 1 , further comprising an electronic apparatus adapted to download the data to a memory in the system.

3 . An automated audio-feedback Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 1 , further comprising software readable by the processor, wherein the software is adapted to form user records over time.

4 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the optical tracking device comprises a camera.

5 . An automated AI controlled Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the optical tracking device comprises a video camera.

6 . An automated AI controlled Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 5 , wherein the camera is adapted to capture images of each the users eyes continuously or semi-continuously.

7 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 3 , wherein the software is adapted to output user records to an external computer system.

8 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the system is constructed and configured to improve eye fusion deficiencies of the patient over time.

9 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 8 , wherein the fusion deficiencies, are selected from convergence insufficiency, divergence excess, intermittent strabismus and combinations thereof.

10 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 9 , wherein the convergence insufficiencies is exophoria.

11 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 9 , wherein the intermittent strabismus is intermittent exotropia.

12 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the user-activated apparatus comprises:

a. an ocular apparatus comprising:

i. at least one viewing aperture, disposed in front of the patient's eyes;

ii. the viewing aperture adapted to receive at least one of:

a. an optical lens;

b. an optical filter; and

c. a prismatic lens.

13 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 12 , wherein the user-activated apparatus further comprises:

a second screen arranged at a rear backing of the rear section; and

a carrier element adapted to carry at least one of the first screen and the second screen towards and away from the ocular apparatus.

14 . An automated AI controlled Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 13 , wherein the two screens display at least one of a picture, a photo, an alphanumeric symbol and at least one colored shape.

15 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 12 , wherein the user-activated apparatus further comprises at least one electrical light element attached to the carrier element.

16 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 12 , wherein the user-activated apparatus further comprises an audio feedback element for generating, during the eye exercises, an audio signal whose characteristics are indicative of a distance of one of the at least two screens from the at least one viewing aperture.

17 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 12 , wherein the carrier element further comprises a distance adjusting element adapted to position the at least two screens and the lamp means each at an equal distance from the at least one viewing aperture.

18 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 1 , further comprising a remote controlled motor for moving at least one of the two screens towards the at least one viewing apertures.

19 . An automated Artificial Intelligence-controlled optical system according to claim 17 , wherein the audio feedback signal characteristics include its frequency.
