NEW DEVICE MAY IMPROVE VISION AND MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH TUNNEL VISION
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, say a visual aid they invented promises to improve the visual abilities of people with tunnel vision. In the first study to evaluate this small high
tech device, the research team saw a significant increase in the effectiveness
and speed with which visually impaired individuals found objects. The study
in the September issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual
Science shows that this device, which combines a tiny camera, pocket-sized
computer and transparent computer display on a pair of glasses, may offer the
most effective assistance to date for this patient population.
