Definitions
- This sight-improving device can not be used without the use of supplementary devices, e.g. nor for the treatment of childhood strabism.
- the aim with the eye-conditioning and eyesight-improving device according to the invention was to overcome the deficiencies of the known versions and to create a construction, with the help of which, independently of the distance between the optical axes, with a single device there be the possibility to retain and possibly improve the sight in an eye with a healthy and living optic nerve, and also in the case when the problem can not be treated with optical lenses or other auxiliary device.
- the basis of the idea of the invention was formed by the recognition that if the eyehole apertures allowing the eye to see through the shade are set up in a unique fashion, in a composition and with a geometric formation different from known solutions on the treatment disc positioned on the optical axis setting device, and if the setting device is formed in a way different from those known, then the task may be accomplished.
- the eye-conditioning and eyesight-improving device which can be placed in front of the eye and fixed there temporarily, is made from opaque material and which has a carrying body supplied with at least two apertures situated in the environment of the optical axes of the two eyes and adjusting devices that can be moved with respect to the carrying body and are situated near to the apertures of the carrying body and which at least partly cover these apertures, the adjusting devices both have a primary disc and a secondary disc, and connecting devices that connect these together, the primary and secondary discs have optical axis setting apertures that are at least partly coherent with one another, there is a revolving treatment disc connected to either the primary or secondary disc, on the treatment disc there is a group of treatment forms consisting of eyehole apertures of different sizes situated at the same radius from the axis of rotation that can be turned so that they are in front of the optical axis setting apertures, - is constructed in such a way that at least one of the group of eyehole apertures forming the treatment
- the primary disc ellipse form with a longer main axis and a shorter main axis
- the optical axis setting aperture and the connecting bodies are fitted together on the longer main axis of the primary disc
- the sections between the optical axis setting aperture and the connecting bodies are of equal size, but the optical axis setting aperture is situated displaced as compared to the shorter main axis.
- Another favourable aspect of the constructed form can be that the secondary disc ellipse form with a longer main axis and a shorter main axis, the optical axis setting aperture and the connecting bodies are fitted together on the longer main axis of the secondary disc, the sections between the optical axis setting aperture and the connecting bodies are of equal size, but the optical axis setting aperture is situated displaced as compared to the shorter main axis.
- the treatment disc is attached to the primary disc and/or the secondary disc in such a way that it may be replaced.
- the carrying body is constructed as sunglasses, and the primary discs and secondary discs have curved connection surfaces suiting the form of the lenses of the sunglasses.
- An advantage of the eye-conditioning and eyesight-improving device according to the invention is that with its application, even in the case of very weak sight when no optical or other auxiliary device gives help in improving eyesight there is the possibility of increasing the efficiency of a still seeing eye, the deterioration of the eye may be reversed, and so the desired eyesight may be restored.
- Another advantage is that due to the application of its unique setting device the eye- conditioning and eyesight-improving device may be used for both children and adults, so independently of the distance between the optical axes it is possible to use the same carrying body, which makes a longer term series of treatments simpler.
- Still another advantage is that it may be used, in other words eye conditioning, during carrying out other useful activities, e.g. reading, watching television, etc., and so treatment does not require separate time that can not be devoted to other things, which make more intensive and successful treatment possible.
- the eye-conditioning and eyesight-improving device according to the invention is illustrated in detail in the following in connection with construction examples, on the basis of the drawing. On the drawing
- Figure 1 is a view illustration of a version of the eye-conditioning and eyesight-improving device
- Figure 2 is an illustration of the construction of the treatment disc
- Figure 3 is a section drawing of the eye-conditioning and eyesight-improving device according to figure 1 taken on plane III.
- FIG 1 a version of the eye-conditioning and eyesight-improving device according to the invention can be seen where the carrying body 10 is actually formed by a pair of sunglasses 1 1. It can be seen that the apertures 13 of the carrying body 10, which are long openings and are worked into the lenses 12 of the sunglasses 11.
- the connecting devices 23 are fitted in the aperture 13, the task of which is to connect the setting device 20, consisting of the primary disc 21 and the secondary disc 22, to the carrying body 10.
- the optical axis setting aperture 21a is positioned on the primary disc 21, while the optical axis setting aperture 22a is positioned on the secondary disc 22 so that they are in front of each other.
- the treatment disc 30 is also connected to the primary disc 21, which is connected to the primary disc 21 so that it may rotate around the axis of rotation 31.
- the axis of rotation 31 is preferably coaxial with one of the connecting devices 23, and in the present version the connecting device 23 forms a part of the treatment disc 30, it stands out of it.
- the optical axis setting aperture 22a and the connecting devices 23 are positioned on the longer main axis 22c so that the "sz" sections between the optical axis setting aperture 22a and the individual connecting devices 23 are of equal sizes.
- the optical axis setting aperture 22a is not adjusted to the position of the shorter main axis 22d of the secondary disc 22, so the optical axis setting aperture 22a and the connecting devices 23 are actually asymmetrically positioned on the secondary disc 22.
- the large significance of this is that setting device 20 can be rotated 180° around the optical axis setting aperture 22a, and so depending on the position of the setting device 20 smaller and larger optical axis distances can be formed.
- Figure 2 shows an enlarged view of the treatment disc 30, on which it can be easily seen that the connecting device 23 is in a coaxial position with the axis of rotation 31, and that the centre point of the pitch circle 32 is also formed by the axis of rotation 31.
- the treatment forms 40 consisting of a series of eyehole apertures are situated on the pitch circle 32.
- the closing member 43 which is opaque to light, is situated between the largest eyehole aperture 41 with a diameter "D" and the smallest eyehole aperture 42 with "D" diameter.
- chord 50 may be found between the circumference 21c of the optical axis setting aperture 21a of the primary disc 21 and the intersection point "Ml" and intersection point "M2" of the pitch circle 32. In the case that this condition is satisfied it is possible for the closing member 43, without letting light through, to completely cover the optical axis setting aperture 21a, and so in this way without using further auxiliary equipment the given eye can be completely shut off from the environment outside the carrying body 10.
- the radius between the axis of rotation 31 of the treatment disc 30 and the pitch circle 32 containing the eyehole apertures 41 is just equal to the distance between the centre point of the optical axis setting aperture 21a of the primary disc 21 and the axis of rotation 31, so when rotating the treatment disc 30 always a single eyehole aperture 41 can be turned to the optical axis setting aperture 21a of the primary disc 21.
- the setting devices 20 positioned on the carrying body 10 are to be adjusted according to the optical axis of the person using the device.
- the setting device 20 When the setting device 20 is rotated by 180° around optical axis setting aperture 21a and optical axis setting aperture 22a, then the optical axis setting aperture 22a - contrary to that shown in figure 1 - is positioned on the left hand side of the shorter main axis 22d. Then the setting device 20 can be slipped out further on the lens 12 so that the closed section extending from the connecting device 23 - now facing inwards - of the secondary disc 22 to the edge of the secondary disc 22 still covers the aperture 13. In this turned around state of the setting device larger optical axis distances can be set, like those occurring for adults.
- the desired size of eyehole aperture 41 or the closing member 43 can be selected from the treatment forms 40 per eye, so that the eyehole aperture 41 with the most appropriate diameter "D" for the eye is placed in front of the optical axis setting aperture 21a of the primary disc 21.
