ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for improving visual acuity during sports activities includes the steps of increasing the strength of the image on the brain half corresponding to the weaker eye of a person by substantially occluding ambient light to the dominant eye of the person for a period of approximately one to two weeks for at least one hour per day; forcing both brain halves to operate at substantially equal visual levels in coordination with each other by wearing eyeglasses having inner opaque sections adjacent the nose bridge so as to limit overlapping vision of the two eyes to a small overlapping area, the inner opaque areas being inwardly and downwardly inclined at an angle of approximately 20 with respect to a nasal axis extending through the nose of the person; and forcing both brain halves to operate independently of each other at substantially equal visual levels by increasing the areas of the opaque sections so as to eliminate the overlapping area, which forces each brain half to process the visual information supplied to it independently of the other brain half, such that the eyes of the person can operate independently and in synchronism, with the same angle of approximately 20 being maintained.
