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. During the daytime, the lenses changed his spatial awareness through both auditory and visual sensory systems. Two years after his initial evaluation, the patient “graduated” to a different set of lenses to accommodate the positive alterations occurring in his brain signaling pathways.
Vision and The Military: Survival Depends On The Peripheral Sensory Systems
We have known for a long time that many mental disorders and learning disabilities involve abnormal brain activity and neurochemical imbalances. However, we continue to learn just how important retinal sensitivities in peripheral eyesight and the lack of integration between visual and auditory signals can be as well. Peripheral retinal dysfunction often plays a key role in patients suffering from symptoms of concussion,
