Description

Technical field

The invention relates to medicine, namely to ophthalmology and rehabilitation medicine, and can be used for the prevention and treatment of various eye diseases (functional, dystrophic, amblyopia and myopia).

State of the art

The hardware-software complex OKO-Medius is known, which is disclosed in the description of Patent RU 2280425 C1, published July 27, 2006 IPC A61F 9/00 (2006.01), according to which the effect of electromagnetic radiation is carried out in the range 400-980 nm in the form of a series of infrared pulses , red, green and blue. The invention relates to medicine, namely to ophthalmology, and is used in the prevention and treatment of various eye diseases (dystrophic, inflammatory and myopia). The OKO-Medius device is a device in the form of a tinted eyeglass frame with built-in mirror reflectors, in each of which mounted four LED emitters connected to a personal computer. The operating modes of the LED emitters are controlled by the Laser Sight automated licensed program (Certificate of registration of the computer program No. 2004611768 of July 27, 2004). The specified program allows you to set the appropriate mode of operation of the device and choose in accordance with it the frequency of radiation of each of the LED emitters.

The disadvantage of the above apparatus is that it does not provide control for changing the distance between the emitters and the radiation power. In addition, this unit cannot be used without a personal computer. These shortcomings do not allow it to be used with equal efficiency in people with significantly different interpupillary distances with reduced light perception, when a large light intensity is required to obtain the desired reflex response, and also without a computer with the Laser Sight program.

Closest to the proposed technical solution is a method of treating eye diseases with the glasses of Professor O.P. Pankov, disclosed in the description of Patent RU 2102951 C1, published January 27, 1998, IPC-7 A61F 2/00. In fact, the glasses of Professor O.P. Pankov are a portable modification of the OKO-Medius apparatus (the book “I See Again!” Series: Medicine of the 21st Century. M., 2004). It allows you to implement a common light-pulse effect on vision in an autonomous mode without communication with any controls in the range from 450 to 650 nm.

However, this autonomous device not only repeats the shortcomings of a computerized complex, but also has its own. So, the main disadvantage is that the light-pulse effect is produced on closed eyes through the eyelids. Moreover, the effect on one eye is not synchronized with the effect on the other, i.e. at the same moment in time, completely different visual signals from each of the eyes come to the same section of the visual cortex of the brain. This leads to a conflict in the perception of visual information, which in no way can improve at least such an important function as binocularity. In other words, the glasses of Professor O.P. Pankov do not provide for the possibility of both synchronized alternating and simultaneous effects of light pulses on the patient's eyes, and isolated effects only on the left and only on the right eye. In addition, in the program for generating light pulses, in addition to red, green, and blue, others are simply not provided, which does not make it possible to involve light on the photosensitive cells of the retina to light pulses of other colors in the sphere of therapeutic effect.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

The aim of the proposed invention is to provide the opportunity to select the optimal distance between the left and right emitters, control the light intensity of the emitter, synchronize simultaneous and sequential exposure to both eyes, as well as turn off the light-pulse effect of the left or right emitter during the session and include mixed colors in the exposure program resulting in an almost complete spectrum.

Description

The proposed method for the treatment of eye diseases, which consists in exposing open eyes to a light pulse of a different color, differs from the known technical solutions in that light pulses are generated in the range of 450 to 650 nm and affect the eyes with a frequency of 1, 10 and 16 Hz for 7 , 5 min of each session. The radiation sources are located at a distance of 45-55 mm, which provides treatment for children, 56-65 mm - for most adults and 66-75 mm - for individuals with increased interpupillary distance. The light intensity in the first session is selected at the level of 25% of the maximum. In subsequent sessions, the light intensity increases to 50, 75 and 100%. In the event of discomfort after the next session in the form of flare effects (spots before the eyes), the light intensity in all subsequent sessions is reduced by 25%.

The solution to the problem is achieved by the fact that on the tinted frame of the glasses there is an electronic board with six radiation sources, three on each side and three LEDs in each emitter of blue, red and green colors. The inner pair of emitters provides the formation of light pulses at a distance of 45-55 mm, the average at a distance of 56-65 mm and the outer at a distance of 66-75 mm. The microprocessor is placed on the board with the standard pulse organization program introduced into it, which includes the first phase (8 s) with alternating exposure of red and green pulses with a pulse duration of 1 s. In the second phase (96 s), a similar pulse sequence is performed at their frequency of 10 Hz . In the third phase (96 s), the frequency is increased to 16 Hz. The fourth, fifth and sixth phases repeat the first three with the difference that instead of the red and green pulses, yellow and blue pulses of light are used. In the seventh phase of the algorithm, light is applied with a smooth transition from red to green, from green to blue, followed by a smooth transition from blue to green and from green to red (30 s). The session ends with the effect of white color (24 s). The exposure time for each eye without pauses is 7.5 minutes.

The algorithm has three programs:

1. The standard program, when when exposed to light pulses in each phase of the algorithm in one eye, the second eye rests. The total time of the light-pulse exposure session is 908 s (about 15 minutes);

2. A synchronous program, when the same pulses simultaneously affect both eyes. The session time is 525 s (about 9 minutes);

3. Exposure only to the right or only to the left eye. The session time is 525 s (about 9 minutes).

One of three programs is selected depending on the type of disease and the age of the patient.

The technical result of the invention is the expansion of the methodological possibilities of applying light-pulse exposure to the eyes by the intensity of the light, by the distance between the radiation sources, and also by choosing one of the exposure programs.

The use of the light-pulse stimulation apparatus allows to improve vision in the direction of increasing its acuity.

Description of the device

The device of light-pulse stimulation and eye therapy - goggles "ASIST" work as follows:

Light pulses are formed by emitters, each of which has three LEDs - red, blue and green. The microprocessor has three programs for generating light pulses. The patient selects the desired program and starts its action. At its end, the timer disables the operation of the device.
