Brain Puzzle Solved: No More Depression
A case study regarding a Mind-Eye patient was published in 2017 in the Journal of Neurophotonics. It demonstrated that customized eyeglasses, along with other neuro- optometric treatments, can be useful as a therapeutic intervention to alter sensory signaling. The glasses normalized his brainwaves.
In this study, an 18-year-old volunteer underwent a thorough eye evaluation. Test results were used to prescribe a set of lenses to allow the patient to solidly integrate his visual and auditory signals. This type of lens was not for improving central eyesight but rather for peripheral retinal stimulation. In this volunteer’s case, light was directed to the bottom portion of his retina. EEG tracings were recorded of the volunteer with and without the customized glasses. Measurable changes were found normalizing his EEG findings, suggesting that specific lenses can be used as a safe, noninvasive approach to altering brain activity! After wearing these glasses, this patient’s depression resolved, and he felt more like himself.
Brain Puzzle Solved: No More Nightmares
Another Mind-Eye patient was a Veteran diagnosed with PTSD at the age of 25 from horrific experiences. When stressed, his peripheral vision would go from hazy to black. He experienced nightmares, had bouts of irritability and anger, and had abnormal intolerance to visual perception of light(photophobia). After Mind-Eye testing, the patient was prescribed a set of therapeutic tinted lenses that angled light downwards on his retinas. Wearing the customized eyeglasses enabled the Veteran to better process environmental stimuli. His photophobia was gone, his nightmares stopped occurring and his temper tantrums significantly lessened. He stopped punching and lashing out at night.
