The same occurs when watching the object B, the only difference consisting in that the human being sees a sharp picture of the object at the point B 0 .
  • All the embodiments in accordance with the present invention take account of the eye's structural features, and they are made such that with each horizontal displacement of optic axes of the eyes within the limits of the physiological visual angle (without turning the head), zones with different optical characteristics fall within the visual field.
  • a "trimming" of the eyes to specific conditions of vision which is essentially imperceptible by the human being.
  • there occurs a "trimming" of the accommodation-convergent apparatus that ensures a sharp image on the retina, but the human being does not perceive an "image jump", since his subjective sensitivity to the image shift is considerably lower than physiological sensitivity.
  • This device while possessing all advantages of conventional vision correction devices, affords a continuous, imperceptible for the human being, exercise of ocular muscles, which favors normalization of functions of the visual apparatus, recovery of vision and essentially rules out the occurrence of functional visual disorders.
  • the present invention enables one to alter operating conditions of the eye thereby causing it to uninterruptedly and, what is very important, essentially imperceptibly for the human being, perform physiological micromassage of ocular muscles. This results in vasodilatation, intensification of metabolic processes, recovery of normal biologic cycles, thus ensuring a high performance capability of the eyes.

Abstract

Ce dispositif de correction optique et d'exercice de la vision comprend une monture (1) fixée de manière sûre par rapport aux yeux d'une personne, ainsi que des éléments optiques (2 et 3), lesquels présentent des zones transparentes dotées de différentes caractéristiques optiques, reliées entre elles par des lignes de transition et montées pour permettre la transition de l'axe visuel de l'oeil correspondant, à n'importe quel niveau d'une zone à une autre, sur un plan horizontal. Les différences de valeurs des caractéristiques optiques des zones se situent dans les limites entre la sensibilité objective de l'oeil et la sensibilité subjective au changement d'une caractéristique optique donnée. L'invention concerne un certain nombre de modes de réalisation de ce dispositif, dont les lunettes constituent un mode préféré. Dans tous les cas, on n'obtient une précision et une fusion d'image qu'au prix d'une compensation effectuée par les muscles de l'oeil, laquelle en se répétant de nombreuses fois contribue à exercer les muscles oculaires et les yeux en tant que tout. Il en résulte qu'en utilisant ce dispositif avec les éléments optiques de la structure proposée, on doit continuellement effectuer un exercice d'accommodation et de convergence, ce qui constitue une prophylaxie efficace, favorise le traitement de troubles visuels fonctionnels et rend possible l'utilisation du dispositif proposé en tant que moyen extrêmement efficace destiné, dans la vie de tous les jours, à des personnes ayant à la fois une vision trouble et normale, quel que soit le type d'activité de ces personnes.
