Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for generating a stimulus signal for an optic nerve, and more particularly, to a device for contacting at least two parts of a temple and an acupoint of an eye window on the eye. The present invention relates to an ocular nerve stimulation signal generator including a set of electrodes covered with a water retentive material and an oscillator for applying a low frequency of a nerve waveform to the set of electrodes.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia are improved by stimulating the acupuncture point "eye window" 4-5 cm above the hairline. On the other hand, it is well known from the announcement of the Japanese Society for Low Frequency Therapy that the blue-blindness is cured by applying electrical stimulation at a frequency of 44 Hertz and the red-blindness is cured by applying electrical stimulation at a frequency of 70 Hertz. However, there is no known method for treating myopia and simultaneously improving myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia with low frequency nerve waves.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple device capable of efficiently performing such electrical stimulation.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies by the present inventor, a set of two temples and acupuncture points of eye windows on the eyes are abutted and the abutting portions are covered with a water-retaining material. It was found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by an ophthalmic nerve stimulation signal generator including an electrode and an oscillator for applying a low frequency of a nerve waveform to the pair of electrodes.

The present invention treats myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia by applying a nerve wave signal of 3 to 10 hertz to the acupoint of the eye window, and at the same time, provides the signal to the komekami to stimulate the muscles of the eye, This is to improve the lens control function. Furthermore,
According to the present invention, there are 4 points for the acupuncture points of the eye window and the mechanical mechanism.
4 Hz and 70 Hz nerve wave signals are sequentially applied to stimulate the color nerve of the eye to treat color blindness. When a nerve wave signal of a constant frequency is continuously applied to the human body, the muscles, nerves, etc. become fatigued. However, the present invention stimulates the optic nerve and muscles using a nerve wave signal of about 5 Hz for 1 second to adjust the lens of the eye. Improve the function, then stimulate the blue photosensitive nerve by the nerve wave signal at the center of 44 Hertz to increase the discrimination power of blue, and further stimulate the red photosensitive nerve by the nerve wave signal at the center of 70 Hertz to discriminate the red color. It is an attempt to increase power and restore the color nerve to its original state. As aforementioned,
If the same frequency is continuously applied, fatigue will be felt, but by applying three types of signal waves in sequence, the therapeutic effect can be improved without giving fatigue.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a state in which the present apparatus is worn on the head through a hair band 1, and electrodes 2 and 3 provided on the inner side of the inner surface of the hair band 1 are located right above the eyes. The electrodes 4 and 5 provided at both ends of the inner side surface of the hair band 1 are attached so as to hit the acupuncture point of the eye window located 4 to 5 cm from the hairline, and to hit the mechanical mechanism. By applying a signal voltage to the electrodes 4 and 5, the lens muscles of the eye are stimulated. The electrodes 2 and 3 should be supplied with the full output voltage, and the electrodes 4 and 5 should be supplied with a slightly lower voltage.

The hair band 1 is made of an elastic material such as a metal plate or a synthetic resin plate, and is attached to the head by utilizing the elasticity. Moreover, if necessary, a part of the hair band 1 may be configured to be expandable and contractible as a superposed structure or the like so that its size can be adjusted. The electrodes 2 and 3 and the electrodes 4 and 5 are both covered with a water-retaining material such as sponge. It is detachably attached to the band 1. Reference numeral 7 is an adjustment fixing metal fitting for adjusting the fixing position of the electrodes 2, 3, the electrodes 4, 5, etc. with respect to the hair band 1, and is composed of a bolt and a wing nut. The bolt is fitted into the provided long hole 8 and is fixed at an appropriate position in the long hole 8. Reference numeral 9 is an oscillator body, which incorporates a blocking oscillator circuit BV for oscillating a nerve wave of the present invention, a first multivibrator MV ₁ , a second multivibrator MV ₂ , and the like, and these circuits are code 10
It is connected to the electrodes 2 and 3 and the electrodes 4 and 5 via. In the illustrated embodiment, the electrodes 2 and 3 and the electrodes 4 and 5 constitute one set of electrodes, but for example, the electrodes 2 and 4
The electrodes 3 and 5 may form one set of electrodes. Reference numeral 11 is a pressing band, which is an auxiliary band for stably holding the hair band 1 to the head.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of an electric circuit. The blocking oscillator circuit BV oscillates at 3 to 8 hertz per second according to the time constant of R ₃ C. Next, the first multi-vibrator MV ₁ is operated once per 1 to 2 by the first ultra low frequency oscillator.
When oscillation is performed for a second and the output voltage is supplied as the base voltage of the transistor Tr of the blocking oscillation circuit BV through the resistor R ₁ , the oscillation frequency of the blocking oscillation circuit BV becomes 44 hertz. Second multivibrator MV

The output waveform of the first multivibrator MV ₁ starts at the positive potential T ₁ time as shown in FIG. 4, and the second multivibrator MV ₂ becomes a positive potential at T ₂ and the first multivibrator MV ₁ becomes the first potential as shown in FIG.
The voltage of the second multivibrator MV ₂ is applied on the voltage of the multivibrator MV ₁ , and the voltage is applied to the base of the transistor Tr to set the oscillation frequency of the blocking oscillation circuit BV to 70 Hertz.

As for the frequency relationship, as shown in FIG. 3, when the voltage of the first multivibrator MV ₁ is 0, the oscillation frequency output from the blocking oscillation circuit BV is 3 to 8 Hertz, but the first multivibrator MV is _When the output of ₁ becomes a positive potential, the oscillation frequency of the blocking oscillator circuit BV is 44
Become Hertz. If the second multi-vibrator MV ₂ has a positive potential due to the synchronizing signal generated when the first multi-vibrator MV ₁ has a positive voltage, the resistor R ₂ causes the transistor T to pass through.
A positive voltage is applied to the base of r to have an oscillation frequency of 70 Hertz. By repeating this operation, oscillation outputs of 3 to 8 hertz, 44 hertz and 70 hertz are repeated.
The output is given to the acupuncture point of the eye window from the electrodes 2 and 3 by the secondary coil S ₁ of the output transformer of the blocking oscillator circuit BV and the variable resistance VR ₁ and to the mechanical mechanism by the coil S ₂ and the variable resistance VR ₂ .
