Brief summary
This project is working on orthoptic rehabilitation for low vision people. The aim of the project is to assess the interest and integration of this rehabilitation device used at home, in low-vision private practice and at the hospital. It leads to develop and evaluate an innovative device to integrate and adjust monitoring of patients according to their need and their progress, to create new interactions with the patient, enabling the orthoptist to stay in touch with his patient at home between rehabilitation sessions and to obtain a more fine and objective analysis of the exercises done by the patient. Using an eye tracker and a digital tactile screen with data uploads allows the practitioner to observe the progress objectively. It also leads the patient to a better understanding of his/her visual behavior and of the effects of rehabilitation. Therefore, it will be easier to adopt better strategies.
