Abstract

REFLECTION EQUIPMENT FOR FOCUSING BY PERIPHERAL VISION, idealizes a reflection glasses for focusing by peripheral vision (1) belonging to the field of articles for ophthalmology, it consists of two pairs of mirrors, a rear mirror (2) and an anterior mirror ( 3) in parallel, which (each pair) are positioned with an angular difference of approximately forty-five degrees (external) in relation to the ocular axis of each user's eye; between the pairs of mirrors, there is a plane screen (5) that limits the frontal plane for image input; the mirrors, although paired in parallel and in equidistance, are not mutually centered but are displaced in approximately half of their areas; the front focus image is captured by the rear mirrors (2), which reflect it back to the respective anterior mirror (3), which in turn redirects that same image to the user's peripheral field of view, enabling the user to even a global view of the environment.

Description

"REFLECTION GLASSES FOR FOCOPOR PERIPHERAL VISION"

Field of the invention

The present invention patent belongs to the field of ophthalmology articles and has as its object a focal device, in which two mirrors are positioned parallel but not centered and close to the forty five centimeter with respect to the ocular axis, where the posterior mirror captures an image. and reflects it to the anterior mirror, so that users with macular disabilities can see the object through their normally healthy peripheral vision, thus being a visual technique of reflective image deviation.

The ocular device or simply eyeglasses allows the frontal focus to be shifted so that the user's peripheral vision field can be viewed, thus providing the individual with "AMD" (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) or pathology with the same symptom, the possibility of "central vision" "through its" peripheral vision ", so that it leads a more comfortable and normal life, being a product of social, humanistic and health importance.

The purpose of this patent application is to present a model of image reflection glasses for macular disability carriers, with low cost for their industrial feasibility, combined with the requirements of robustness, safety and utility practicality that offers the user numerous possibilities and benefits, making them a model of great necessity to be made available in the sectorial market.

Invention History

Macular degeneration is a lesion or deterioration of the macula (central portion of the retina) that results from the hardening of the arteries of the fundus, where the main symptom is the loss of central vision of the visual field.

These effects prevent tasks such as reading or driving, and unfortunately cases of macular degeneration cannot be cured, however, argon laser treatments can sometimes prevent a worsening of this condition.

Gradual loss of vision is the most common symptom of macular degeneration, but this symptom may also be caused by cataract, refractive errors, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy (retinal disorder caused by diabetes in controlled patients), corneal diseases, and optic nerve pathologies or atrophies.

Other symptoms that may appear: a) image distortion, which has as other causes: refractive errors, other macula diseases, corneal irregularity, cataracts, use of myotics (eye-closing pupils) and retinal detachment; b) Blind spot (any part of the normal field of vision in which the person sees a dark spot), having as other causes: posterior detachment of the vitreous, bleeding within the vitreous, condensation of the vitreous, retinal detachment or corneal opacities.

When central vision is lost, peripheral vision usually remains normal, although people with macular degeneration are unable to read or drive, they can easily move around easily and perform many daily tasks.

Poor points of the prior art

In some cases people with macular degeneration may read with the aid of magnifying lenses that extend imaging to retinal portions outside the macula, and unfortunately these lenses are often difficult to adjust, especially in older people.

The market does not have eyeglass models that correct macular vision deficiency and is capable of impairing the frontal focus to the healthy peripheral field of vision of the visually impaired person in the frontal portion of the eyes.

Summary of the Invention

Due to the necessity of having a device that improves the vision of the disabled people of the macula, in order to optimize their peripheral vision capacity, it led the inventor, with notorious knowledge in the area, to create and develop the object of the present patent. REFLECTION FOR PERIPHERAL VISION FOCUS "which designs a spectacle integrated by two pairs of mirrors that are effectively positioned to reflect the frontal incident image in order to be deflected to be displayed in the peripheral campovisual of the user's eyes, affected by the macular deficiency that prevents him from viewing images at its front line is central to the pupil.

With the positioning of the pairs of mirrors, the incident image is captured by the posterior mirror and shifted to the anterior mirror that will deflect it by reflection in order to be displayed in the corner of the eye, a region in which the peripheral visual field was not affected by the deficiency produced by some degeneration of the mirror. macula.

The use of Peripheral Vision Focus Goggles, now being presented, allows the "DMRI" wearer to exercise, under the supervision of a qualified practitioner, to accustom his celebrant to using peripheral vision, spontaneously improving his vision focus, even even when you are not wearing your glasses.

Detailed Description of the Invention

As illustrated in the above figures, the object "REFLECTION GLASSES FOR PERIPHERAL FOCUS" focuses on an image reflection device containing a pair of frontal double mirrors, where two mirrors are equidistantly matched to the rear mirror. It is capable of capturing a frontal image and reflecting it to the anterior mirror, both positioned at approximately 45 degrees offset from the user's axis, allowing them to see the frontal object from their peripheral visual field.

Called reflective glasses for focal vision (1) consists of two pairs of mirrors, ie each pair has a rear mirror (2) and an anterior mirror (3) that can assume any geometry, which (cadapar) are positioned with an angle difference of approximately forty-five degrees (external) from the eyepiece of each user's eye and may be mounted on a frame of metallic or polymeric material, with hoops or mounts (4), nose pads and earmuffs, common to the conventional glasses.

Between the pairs of mirrors, that is, in the space that separates them, there is a flat bulkhead (5) that limits the frontal plane for image entry and avoids unwanted reflections incident on the posterior mirrors (2), as well as other shadows of non-frontal objects.

The mirrors, although paired and equidistant, are not mutually centered and thus displaced in approximately half of their areas in order to give unobstructed escape or passage to the incident beam (6) (formed by electromagnetic waves) of the posterior mirror (2) to the front mirror (3).

The front focus image is captured by the rear mirrors (2), which reflect it back to the respective front mirror (3), which in turn redirects this image to the user's peripheral field of view. The sets or pairs of mirrors are positioned at approximately forty-five degrees (external) with respect to the frontal focal axis of each user's eye.

In the object of the present patent, the following items have been approached and technically analyzed: deflection glasses for focus by peripheral vision (1), rear mirror (2), front mirror (3), support (4), flat screen (5) and incident image (6 ).

This patent descriptive report portrayed a new design in peripheral vision focus goggles which, as shown by the analyzes and figures shown, show numerous differences over conventional models on the market, as well as completely different constructive and functional technical characteristics from those pertinent to the state of the art. .

Because of the advantages it offers, as well as having truly innovative features that meet all the requirements of novelty and originality in the genre, this "PERIPHERAL FOCUS REFLECTION GLASSES" meets the necessary and sufficient conditions to deserve the privilege of invention.
