The illustration below is from a separate study by Zemetkin et. al. in 1990.

This outer slowing is associated with slower firing patterns on the surface of the brain, especially in the frontal part of the brain that is largely responsible for filtering distractions, impulse control, and engagement in key cognitive functions called executive functions that allow people to be attentive to tasks. Again, when the children wore the glasses it increased a key firing pattern for mental performance and concentration (low Beta-13.5-20.5Hz) on the surface of the brain, and it changed the effect you see in the picture above since EEG measures the electrical activity on the surface of the brain. (Liu et. al. 2008)
We had each child read with the glasses on and off in a randomized way so that the order was not the same for all children. The author asked them to stay focused on reading. The author linked a clinical EEG system to their scalp and measured electrical activity from the outer layer and surface of the brain. It was done following standardized research methods that illustrate brainwave patterns indicative and specific only to ADHD 94% of the time (Snyder, et al, 2008).
The author also monitored behavior and gathered interview answers and information from the children. All children in the study had an increase in the faster frequency associated with mental concentration and higher test performance. Increasing the amount of this frequency is the goal of proven therapies such as stimulant medications and EEG biofeedback therapy. (Loo and Barkley, 2005)
Daydreaming and poking ones neighbor, for instance, are ways that people with this condition make the environment stimulating enough to keep engaged. Disruptive or unproductive behavior keeps them engaged by getting the outer layer of the brain stimulated by what is happening around them. That is why children with this condition do these things more. Adults, as well as children, may make their environments stimulating in other ways by creating distractions of other kinds.
The average severity of the ADHD diagnosis in the children in the study according to questionnaire answers was 5.14 on a 10 point scale with ten being the most severe. Standard research procedures were followed including informed consent and a gift to the clients including a $25 gift card. The children were also offered a pair of the glasses after completing the test.

My Focus glasses were born. Since that time hundreds have realized a better quality of life simply by wearing My Focus Eyewear.

The first prototype was enthusiastically received, however further development allowed Ken and his team to create an even more superior product. Enhancements such as a new design that blocked peripheral vision, and to prevent individuals from becoming self-conscious, a mirrored finish was added that makes them look like sunglasses.

Subsequent development included styles for youth, teen and adults, as well as an Over-fit Frame which nests on top of existing eyeglasses; all models are now widely available for purchase.

My Focus Eyewear is a U.S. Patented tool that can help people who struggle with visual distractions, including those with ADHD, Asperger’s, or Autism cope with those distractions while improving their cognitive process. Studies* have shown better performance by individuals at work and at school, in addition to raising their self esteem.

My Focus Introductions Video

During the spring and summer of 2011, I offered MyFocus glasses to a number of my patients (11) who had ADD or ADHD.  Four were children. I asked them, or their parents to complete an informal survey for 30 days as to whether the glasses helped and what kind of problems they encountered. As of this writing in October, 2011 most of the patients had finished the study. Eight of the patients were on medication prescribed by their doctors. Several of the patients were taking medication. Three could not complete the study because of physical limitations, such as not being able to move their head easily or finding they did not want to fill out any kind of survey. Six of the patients found substantial improvement with little or no side effects.

Some of the comments were:  “It helped me focus.”   “I could concentrate more easily.”  “I felt less disorganized.”   I would recommend that people who are on medication try these glasses as an additional helpful adjunct to controlling problems posed by ADD or ADHD.  After using the glasses for a stipulated period, I would recommend that they then decide, after consulting with their doctor and psychologist, as to whether medication should be used as part of their continued treatment.
