Abstract
This invention relates to exercising the eyes. I
had extreme difficulty with glare when facing city lights, car lights and sunshine. I wore dark sunglasses during the day, but impractical for night driving; the road ahead was obscured. I experienced headaches as well. I had my eyes tested and wore glasses, but the glare problem remained.
I read that the cause of glare can be a lack of blood supply to the eyes which allows one image after another to pile up within the eye and cause glare. And it explained, the eye muscles, if exercised, help the blood supply to clear the fouled imagery. The suggestion was to lie on one's back and look at a corner of the room and then another in rotation.
I tried this but it was difficult to do and with no noticeable improvement. I devised this invention as herein described, using it for ten or fifteen minutes a day over two weeks, and the glare of lights was minimized, so that I did not need sunglasses. I found the exercises very relaxing as well.

Description
21 ~ 7~
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention consists of a ball some 3/4"-in diameter of heavy metal, having a channel of 3/16" or so in width as an equator around the ball and two-thirds of the radius deep, and it includes a cord of 8 or so feet. On the outer edge of one channel is a pin embedded on an angle in the ball and protruding almost across the channel. The cord is fastened to the axis at the bottom of the channel and wound around it.
The person wanting the exercise decides where the ball should be suspended, unwinds enough cord so that when lying on his/her back on a bed or couch, the ball suspended from the ceiling or whatever, would be 6 or 8 inches above his/her face. The cord is secured behind the pin so as to not unwind any more, and the loose end is fastened to the ceiling with a thumb tack or adhesive tape. The ball is Berthuld T. Johnson, Inventor 21 ~8473 covered with non-toxic paint that stores light from an outside source. To use in a darkened room, the person can hold the ball to a light source for 30 seconds or so. The height of the ball can be adjusted after the cord is fastened above by unwinding a few turns of cord or winding a few turns on.
The person then can start the ball in a circular or pendulum motion as one prefers. Without moving the head from side to side and watching the ball, the exercise is of benefit. When the momentum of the ball diminishes, it can be given another start. It goes without saying the eye exerciser should not be used if there is an eye injury or infection.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Figure l and Figure lA show the physical features of the ball. The main component which I claim of my invention l is a schematic of one-half of the ball, showing the channel 4 which circumvents the ball around the axis 3.
Figure lA shows the ball from a right angle view to the channel 4.
l with the channel 4 and axis 3 acts as a spool for storage of the cord 6. One end if fastened to the axis 3. Enough cord 6 is unwound to suspend the ball lC to 6 or 8 inches above the person 7 and is hooked behind the pin 2 to prevent any more unwinding. The loose end is fastened to the ceiling at 8. 5 shows the elliptical path of the ball lB which 7 would watch for the needed exercise.

Claims
THE CLAIMS
An eye exerciser to counter glare consisting of a small ball of some weight, painted with a non-toxic paint which stores light from an outside source, having a narrow channel encircling the ball, equator like, one-half the ball's radius in depth leaving an axis to hold the ball's sides together and near the top of the channel on one side is a pin embedded in the ball and protruding on a sharp angle toward the other side of the channel leaving a narrow space and both the channel pin an axis accommodates a cord for suspending the ball for exercise purpose by the cord being fastened to the axis and wound around it leaving enough cord to suspend the ball after hooking behind the catch pin to prevent any unwinding and the loose end of the cord is fastened to the ceiling or whatever to suspend the ball near a person's face when lying on his/her back in readiness to be put in motion in a circle or as a pendulum for a person to watch and exercise the eyes.
