Eye Blink Switch

Assist Ireland Product ID: 212

This switch is activated when the user blinks their eye. It allows individuals to operate electronic equipment like communication aids and environmental controls hands-free. Each blink of the eye is detected by an infrared sensor, which is mounted on dummy spectacle frames.

The eye blink switch can be set up to operate on either eye and may be worn over normal glasses. The sensitivity of the switch can be adjusted to the users needs and involuntary blinks are ignored. The sensor is connected to a hand-held control unit with a rechargeable battery.
