Professional guidance helps The switch itself is simple, but making it useful takes judgment. Someone needs to decide whether blinking is a reliable and non-tiring way to activate a device, pick the right output setting, and fine-tune sensor placement. A family can often work this out alone. An AT professional will usually get better results, faster.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Eye Blink Switch lets someone trigger a switch-enabled communicator, computer, or toy just by blinking. It senses the blink and sends the signal, so it can work for a person who can't press a conventional switch with a hand. You can set it to respond to one blink or two, and choose momentary, timed (1 to 120 seconds), or on/off output. It mounts to most eyeglass frames or head bands, and heat shrink tubing is included for mounting if you want it. Glasses are not included, and the switch only does something once it's connected to a device that accepts a switch.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Mount the switch to an eyeglass frame or head band, and plug it into a switch-enabled device.
  • With a guide
    1. Choose the output mode (momentary, timed, or on/off) and whether it responds to one blink or two.
    2. Adjust placement so the sensor reliably catches a blink without false triggers, which can take several tries. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP can help decide if blinking is a reliable, comfortable way to access the device, and set up the mounting position and timing. Plan on one session, with follow-up as needed.
