A Digital Microscreen for the Enhanced Appearance of Ocular Prosthetic Motility (an American Ophthalmological Society Thesis).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to improve the apparent motility of ocular prosthetic devices using technology. Prevailing ocular prostheses are acrylic shells with a static eye image rendered on the convex surface. A limited range of ocular prosthetic movement and lack of natural saccadic movements commonly causes the appearance of eye misalignment that may be disfiguring. Digital screens and computational systems may obviate current limitations in eye prosthetic motility and help prosthetic wearers feel less self-conscious about their appearance.

Methods

We applied convoluted neural networks (CNNs) to track pupil location in various conditions. These algorithms were coupled to a microscreen digital prosthetic eye (DPE) prototype to assess the ability of the system to capture full
