Claim One:
1. A method for non-invasive visual compensation for a person suffering from central vision impairment, said method comprising: obtaining digital images of a target field of view for conversion of said digital images from rectangular coordinates (x 0 ,y 0 ) to polar coordinates (r 0 ,θ 0 ); processing said digital images to generate processed images thereof including polar coordinates (r 1, θ 1 ) converted back to rectangular coordinates (x 1 ,y 1 ) wherein central regions of said digital images that normally would reach an impaired portion of a retina of said person are moved to other regions of said target field of view; and presenting said processed images to said person such that said central regions are now directed at an unimpaired peripheral portion of said retina of said person, thereby expanding outward a central vision region corresponding to a damaged retinal area of said retina of said person so that said central vision region is now in a peripheral vision area.
