Upside down goggles can be used to demonstrate human adaptation to inverted vision, and as a method of preventing motion sickness. [2] Hubert Dolezal recommended using upside down goggles for "nausea adaptation" for space travel. [3] They can also be used to train spatial abilities and possibly cognitive functions.

Prismatic reversing glasses (upside down goggles with two prisms) Helmholtz theorized that perceptual adaptation might result from a process he referred to as unconscious inference, where the mind unconsciously adopts certain rules in order to make sense of what is perceived of the world. An example of this phenomenon is when a ball appears to ...
Vision rehabilitation (often called vision rehab) is a term for a medical rehabilitation to improve vision or low vision. In other words, it is the process of restoring functional ability and improving quality of life and independence in an individual who has lost visual function through illness or injury.
The aftereffects of exposure to a visual stimulus or pattern causes loss of sensitivity to that pattern and induces stimulus bias. An example of this phenomenon is the "lilac chaser", introduced by Jeremy Hinton. The stimulus here are lilac circles, that once removed, leave green circles that then become the most prominent stimulus.
George Malcolm Stratton (September 26, 1865 – October 8, 1957) was an American psychologist who pioneered the study of perception in vision by wearing special glasses which inverted images up and down and left and right.
Corrective lenses provide vision correction over a range as high as +4.0 diopters. People with presbyopia require a convex lens for reading glasses; specialized preparations of convex lenses usually require the services of an optometrist. [15] Contact lenses can also be used to correct the focusing loss that comes along with presbyopia.
Night vision is of lower quality than day vision because it is limited in resolution and colors cannot be discerned; only shades of gray are seen. [1] In order for humans to transition from day to night vision they must undergo a dark adaptation period of up to two hours [ 2 ] in which each eye adjusts from a high to a low luminescence "setting ...
The AN/PVS-7 is a single tube biocular night vision device. Third-generation image intensifiers are able to be installed and are standard for military night vision. Most newer PVS-7 intensifier tubes are auto-gated to prevent image intensifier damage if exposed to intense light. The goggles have a built-in infrared Illuminator for low-light ...
