ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a head-mounted vision rehabilitation system for aiding in the rehabilitation of the visually impaired which includes a headset having an anterior portion extending over a patient's eyes and a posterior portion partially encircling the patient's head; a camera for imaging an image source which includes a focusing means and an electro-optical sensor to create an image signal based upon light from the image source; a coherent video display located within the anterior portion of the headset for receiving the image signal and recreating the image onto the patient's eyes; a disengageable connector for removably attaching the camera to the anterior portion of the headset; and a control unit in communication with the camera, the video display and the headset for controlling the operation of the head-mounted vision rehabilitation system. The present invention further includes a scanning system for scanning the image source without movement of the headset and a stabilization system for stabilizing the image recreated from the video display.
