Abstract:

A system and method for measuring and treating vergence disorders may include an augmented reality headset connected to a computing device for simultaneously presenting target images independently to a patient's eyes and independently tracking the position of each eye. The headset includes eye tracking technology for monitoring the orientation of the eyes. If the eyes are both on target, as determined by the eye tracking technology, then binocular single vision will occur, and if not, then diplopia will occur. A vergence demand may be created by incrementally moving the target images apart or together, until the vergence demand is too great for the patient to maintain SBV. Amplitudes of fusional vergence may be measured and stored by the computing device. The system may be utilized to perform therapeutic vergence treatment exercises to increase amplitudes of fusional vergence and measure and provide treatment for phoria and strabismus conditions.
