Patent attributes
The present invention provides a system and a method for measuring ocular motility of a patient. The system comprises a display unit capable of presenting at least one target; a blocking unit configured and operable to selectively block/unblock at least one target in a field of view of at least one eye of the patient; a camera unit comprising at least one imaging element configured and operable to generate at least two image data indicative of at least one eye condition; and a processing unit connected to the blocking unit, to the display unit and to the camera unit, the processing unit being configured for performing the following steps: (a) displaying at least one target, for at least one eye (b) receiving image data indicative of at least one eye's condition from the camera unit, (c) controlling the blocking unit to block/unblock at least one target in the field of view of at least one eye of the patient, (d) detecting a change in at least one eye's condition, (e) displacing the target for at least one eye; and repeating steps (a)-(e) until no change in the eye's condition is measured to thereby determine at least one ocular motility parameter.
