FR2942552A1 - Spectacles frame type optical device for assisting e.g. person suffering from side vision dyslexia, has hole and slit arranged for reading assistance, where slit is oriented horizontally toward right of carrier of device - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has a hole and slit arranged for reading assistance, where the slit is oriented horizontally toward right of a carrier of the device. The slit is horizontally opened. Glasses are non-transparent for permitting only the required amount of light to pass though for reading.

Description

The present invention aims to help reading people, children or adults. suffering from visual-related dyslexia or attentional orthoptic problems. To date, the proposed treatments are prism glasses, orthophonic or orthoptic rehabilitation sessions. But none of them really guides the reading and helps the patient to make his mark. The invention of this invention helps people suffering from these disorders by guiding their eyes during reading to overcome their attention problems or visual confusion. This is an optical device used for reading only. The device consists of a pair of glasses on which are mounted two non-transparent glasses. Each of the glasses is perforated in the axis of the pupil and this hole opens on a horizontal slit oriented to the right of the patient. He is thus obliged to fix his eyes on what is in front of the barter but can however anticipate his reading thanks to the slot, thus making it fluid. According to particular embodiments: - the central hole is placed in the axis of the pupil of the patient and thus allows the right view. 15 - the horizontal slot is open on the hole and is oriented to the right, reading direction of the patient. - The glasses used are non-transparent allowing the passage of enough light for easy reading but preventing clear vision through the glasses. They are large enough to prevent vision around the glasses when the equipment is worn. The glasses are mounted on a frame adapted to the patient's face. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure 1 shows a front view of the hole associated with the horizontal slot. Figure 2 shows a front view of the frosted glass pierced with the hole and the slot. The drawings thus show the device which is the following: two frosted lenses, pierced with a hole and a horizontal slit oriented towards the right, mounted on an eyeglass frame. Two afocal glasses are frosted so that only 1 / 10th of acuity is allowed to pass. The glasses are each pierced with a hole according to the pupillary distance of the person. ideally 3mm in diameter. The horizontal slots open on the holes are oriented towards the right of the person and ideally measure 1 mm by 1 mm. The glasses are then mounted on a frame that best covers the person's field of vision and adapted to his face size. Many people with visual-related dyslexia or attentional orthoptic problems are likely to have their disorders reduced or completely re-educated by wearing this equipment during reading.
