Product Overview:

The Eye Blink Assistive Technology Switch works by aiming a sensor at the eye; blinking breaks the beam, which trips the switch and activates the attached communicator, toy, or computer function. Set the internal circuitry to activate the unit with every blink, or, to ignore normal blinking, with every double blink. The Eye Blink Assistive Technology Switch's controls give momentary, timed, or latched output.

NOTE:Eyeglasses sold separately.

More Information

Easy to position with unique mounting! Just aiming the sensor at the eye will allow the user to control communication devices, toys, or computers. Controls give momentary, timed (1 to 120 seconds), or latched output. Internal circuitry can be set to activate with each eye blink or with every double eye blink to ignore normal eye blinking. An adjustable holder easily mounts to most eyeglass frames or head bands.

NOTE:Eyeglasses sold separately.

Pros & Cons
There are positives and negatives about this switch. I have used it with multiple individuals who have had some success with it. I especially love that it can be set to respond to a double blink as well as single blinks. The down side to this switch is that it can be difficult to align with the eye, and if the wearer moves, it almost always needs to be re-aligned. Also, there is some danger of the movement causing the device to poke the user in the eye. When you align the switch properly, it is also a little tiring for the user having the sensor so close to the eye for very long. Overall, it has been difficult to use with our population and has not held up well.
