Glasses for color therapy

The invention relates to glasses for color therapy, with a frame in which two lenses are held, wherein the lenses are designed as filters.

As an alternative or as a supplement to needle therapy in acupuncture, it is known to irradiate a part of the human body that is to be treated with light of a certain color, i.e. a certain wavelength range. For this purpose, so-called light pens with a light source are known, which is preceded by an exchangeable color filter in order to be able to select a certain wavelength range. For therapeutic purposes, the tip of the light pen is placed on the part to be treated and the light source is switched on, whereby the light rays hit the part of the body and penetrate the tissue.

In addition to the external application of color therapy, it is also known that certain colors have an effect on the inside of the body.

by having the person being treated put on glasses with tinted lenses so that the eye perceives more light in the desired color. However, it has been shown that the therapeutic effects achieved in this way are not achieved to the desired extent.

The invention is based on the object of creating glasses of the type mentioned which can be used in colour therapy while achieving good therapeutic effects.

This object is achieved according to the invention with glasses according to one of the independent claims 1 to 7.

The invention is based on the basic idea that the previously known glasses with colored lenses are essentially of little therapeutic use because light is introduced into the viewer's eye that is composed of light components of different wavelengths and intensities in an undefined manner. In the glasses according to the invention, the lenses are designed in such a way that they only let through light of a precisely predetermined, narrowly defined wavelength, so that the eye receives defined color impulses that significantly increase the therapeutic effect. The following wavelengths have proven to be particularly advantageous depending on the complaints to be treated:

a.) Light with a wavelength in the range of 408 nm to 412 nm, preferably exactly 410 nm (violet),

b.) Light with a wavelength in the range of 448 nm to 452 nm, preferably exactly 450 nm (blue),

c.) Light with a wavelength in the range of 503 nm to 507 nm, preferably exactly 505 nm (turquoise),

d.) Light with a wavelength in the range of 528 nm to 532 nm, preferably exactly 53 0 nm (green),

e.) Light with a wavelength in the range of 578 nm to 582 nm, preferably exactly 580 nm (yellow), 10

f.) Light with a wavelength in the range of 618 nm to 622 nm, preferably exactly 620 nm (orange),

g.) Light with a wavelength in the range of 698 nm to 702 nm, preferably exactly 700 nm (red).

The ranges given only reflect the manufacturing-related variations in the filter.

It has proven particularly advantageous to store the lenses on the glasses frame in an interchangeable manner, so that for therapeutic purposes only one pair of glasses needs to be available into which the appropriate lenses or filters can be inserted as required.

The only figure shows a pair of glasses 10 with a frame 11 of conventional construction with two temples 11a. In the frame 11 two lenses 12 are interchangeably mounted, which only allow light of a certain wavelength to pass through, the wavelengths being indicated above.
