A soft contact lens search coil for measuring eye movements.

نویسنده

  • R V Kenyon
چکیده

A five turn coil of magnet wire sandwiched between two soft contact lenses served as a magnetic search coil to measure horizontal and vertical eye movements in humans. The lens was adhered to the eye for 35 min by periodically misting the eye with distilled water; during this time the records of eye position showed that the lens remained firmly attached to the eye. Using this sensor, no topical anesthetic need be applied and the lens can be worn for an extended period of time without increasing intraocular pressure.

The effect of scleral search coil lens wear on the eye.

BACKGROUND/AIM Scleral search coils are used to measure eye movements. A recent abstract suggests that the coil can affect the eye by decreasing visual acuity, increasing intraocular pressure, and damaging the corneal and conjunctival surface. Such findings, if repeated in all subjects, would cast doubt on the credibility of the search coil as a reliable investigative technique. The aim of this...

Fourth Purkinje image signals reveal eye-lens deviations and retinal image distortions during saccades

Saccadic eye movements of various sizes and directions were registered simultaneously with the scleral search coil and a fifth-generation Dual Purkinje image eyetracker. Comparison of the search coil and the Purkinje image tracker records reveal considerable dynamic deviations during and immediately after the saccade, which we ascribe to the movements of the eye lens relative to the optical axi...

Simultaneous Recordings of Human Microsaccades and Drifts with a Contemporary Video Eye Tracker and the Search Coil Technique

Human eyes move continuously, even during visual fixation. These "fixational eye movements" (FEMs) include microsaccades, intersaccadic drift and oculomotor tremor. Research in human FEMs has grown considerably in the last decade, facilitated by the manufacture of noninvasive, high-resolution/speed video-oculography eye trackers. Due to the small magnitude of FEMs, obtaining reliable data can b...

Measurement of post-lens tear thickness.

PURPOSE A method to measure the tear film beneath a soft contact lens, referred to as post-lens tear thickness (PLTT), would have many applications to contact lens research. In this study a noninvasive technique for measuring the PLTT is presented. METHODS The feasibility of measuring the tear layer by optical pachometry was first assessed using a model eye. The baseline corneal thickness (B)...
