A Study of Optical Edge Enhancement with Incoherent Light and Electronic Edge Enhancement as a Possible Visual Prothesis for Multiple Sclerosis Patients.
Abstract
The purpose of this investigation is to study the effects of multiple sclerosis on the human visual system and perform a preliminary analysis for a possible prosthetic device. Optical and electronic edge enhancement were studied as a possible solution for blurred vision due to demyelination of the optic nerve. A theoretical study was undertaken for optical edge enhancement with incoherent light. An experimental approach, however, was used with electronic edge enhancement. Multiple sclerosis subjects were tested along with a controlled group for visual acuity improvement. It is hoped this work will stimulate others into applying their knowledgeable fields of interest towards possible prosthesis development. (Author)
