Filed:

May 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/713912

Inventors:

Dara C. Medes - Woodbridge CT, US
Heather Lyn Medes - Woodbridge CT, US
William V. Padula - Guilford CT, US

International Classification:

G09G 5/10

US Classification:

345690, 607 88, 128898

Abstract:

A method and apparatus of providing wave-front color therapy using a computer or portable handheld devices such as PDA's and other portable telecommunication devices to deliver a specific different nanometer wavelength of light to affect a wide variety of visual, binocular, function, perceptual, and cognitive-related vision imbalances that interfere with function and performance. The current proposed device would provide specific treatment for these difficulties by delivering different wavelengths of light through a computer monitor. The exact therapeutic prescription including nanometer specifications and hue-saturation will be prescribed for individuals with a wide range of visual problems caused by a traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular accident, and Multiple Sclerosis, and the like, to name a few examples. This disclosure claims analog and digital relations of light as it relates to both the spatial and temporal relationship of light.

A61B 3/024

US Classification:

351224, 351226, 351246

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for treating visual field loss by disassociating and differentiating between the ambient and focal visual information of a patient. This is achieved by providing a stationary target for the patient to focus on and a moving, spinning or rotating background relative to the stationary target.

Appl. No.:

11/818957

Inventors:

William V. Padula - Guilford CT, US

International Classification:

G02C 7/14

US Classification:

351175

Abstract:

The enhanced visual field prism optical apparatus includes a pair of eye glasses frames having the users prescription provided therein, if needed, and an enhanced field prism rotatably supported in front of at least one of the lenses of the frames. For binocular vision, a prism is rotatably supported in front of both lenses of the frames.

Appl. No.:

9/324063

Inventors:

William V Padula - Guilford CT
William V Padula - Spring Hill FL
William V Padula - Killingworth CT

International Classification:

A63B 2102

US Classification:

482 74

Abstract:

A physical therapy device for correcting gait and balance. The device generally includes a rectangular frame having front, back, right and left sides, a vertical member extending downwardly from a center of the back side of the frame and longitudinal grips extending downwardly from intersections of the front side with each of the left and right sides. In use, the user stands within the generally rectangular frame with his forearms extending forward perpendicularly from the body and gripping the longitudinal grip members with the back side of the frame extending substantially horizontally across the shoulder blades of the user and the vertical member extending downwardly between the shoulder blades of the user.

Appl. No.:

6/070981

Inventors:

William V. Padula - Guilford CT
William V. Padula - Cranford NJ

International Classification:

A61B 310

US Classification:

351 5

Abstract:

An ophthalmic measuring instrument has an instrument frame with suitable clips for mounting the instrument frame to an eyeglass frame on the patient so that spaced eye viewing openings on the instrument frame of the ophthalmic measuring instrument are disposed in alignment with the position of the lenses for the given eyeglass frame to which the instrument frame is attached. Transparent yellow and blue strips having respectively sized widths are adjustably mounted on the instrument frame for movement relative the eye viewing openings and for intersecting movement relative each other. The patient can, in an adjusted position of said yellow and blue strips, view white square targets of predetermined size as a function of the specific working or reading distance at which said targets are being viewed. By centering the instrument frame on the eyeglass frame, and monocularly occluding the patient's respective left eye and right eye, movement of first the yellow strip and then the blue strip, bisecting the patient's visual axes respectively for the left eye and the right eye will enable various measurements to be obtained, such as the exact inter-visual axes distance relative to the center of the eyeglass frames for near vision. The horizontally disposed blue strip can be provided with suitable bracket means for receiving a corrective lens where a patient has a refractive error or presbyopia.

Abstract:

An ophthalmic measuring instrument has an instrument frame with suitable clips for mounting the instrument frame to an eyeglass frame on the patient so that spaced eye viewing openings on the instrument frame of the ophthalmic measuring instrument are disposed in alignment with the position of the lenses for the given eyeglass frame to which the instrument frame is attached. The patient can view at a convenient reading distance any of a plurality of colored cards having white square targets of varying sizes thereon as a function of the working distance through adjustably connected transparent yellow and blue strips mounted on the instrument frame and movable relative to each other in front of said spaced eye viewing openings. By centering the instrument frame on the eyeglass frame, and monocularly occluding the patient's respective left eye and right eye, movement of first the yellow strip and then the blue strip, bisecting the patient's visual axes respectively for the left eye and the right eye will enable various measurements to be obtained, such as the exact inter-visual axes distance relative to the center of the eyeglass frames for near vision. The horizontally disposed blue strip can be provided with suitable bracket means for receiving a corrective lens where a patient has a refractive error or presbyopia.

Abstract:

A binocular expanded field of view spectacle mounted microscope including a single microscope provided in front of and mounted to a bridge of a spectacle frame, a first pair of optical path deflectors rotatably connected to the spectacle frame of each side of the bridge of the frame and projecting into a line of sight and visual axis in a direction of the microscope and a second pair of optical path deflectors mounted on the spectacle frame such that a line sight and visual axis from the microscope deflected by the first pair of optical path deflectors is directed towards each eye of a wearer whereby a field of view for each eye is partially overlapped by rotating the first pair of optical path deflectors to provide an expanded field of view including a single zone of binocular vision and a zone of monocular vision on each side of the single zone of binocular vision.
