    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vision Science
    • Rehabilitation Engineering

    Background:

    • Hemianopia, a visual field defect, significantly impacts daily functioning.
    • Existing low vision aids may not adequately address hemianopic field loss.
    • The need for accessible and customizable assistive devices is critical.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an adjustable and removable mirror device for spectacles.
    • To assess the potential utility of this device for patients with hemianopia.
    • To highlight the device's feasibility using readily available materials.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and fabrication of an adjustable mirror device.
    • Attachment mechanism for integration with existing spectacles.
    • Evaluation of material accessibility and ease of construction.
