Development of a System for Detection, Diagnosis, and Treatment for Eye Strabismus Disease

Abstract

Strabismus is one of the most common eye disorders caused by a problem with the eye muscles. It is difficult to determine the degree of Strabismus in the two eyes. Reduced vision and a failure of the eyes to function together correctly, especially for 3D vision, are symptoms of this eye illness. This project aims to develop a system able to help the ophthalmologists to detect, diagnose and treat eye Strabismus and eliminate the use of glasses and some laser sessions and medicaments, which very expensive and causes pain to the patient. In the first step, signals acquired from the eyes via electrodes, were fixed on the patient's face and processed to extract specific information, whereas the gravity center (GC) of the eye movements represents the most important feature in this step. Then we use the calculated Gravity center to determine the level of vision deviation that is directly related to a problem in the eye muscles. At the next step, the ophthalmologists treat the patient using the same device through several physical exercises like games performed by the patient on the device. The obtained results demonstrate the ability of our system to classify between the normal and abnormal patient, to determine the level of abnormality or the deviation percentage, to determine the level of eye vibration and to treat many that eye disease.
