DEVICE FOR TREATING AMBLYOPIA Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering, particularly, devices used in ophthalmology. SUBSTANCE: this device incorporates housing 3 which houses coaxially disposed annular source of magnetic field, which faces monochromatic light source connected to pulse power unit 12 and resting on disc backing 4 which has axial opening and located inside body for longitudinal movement. Source of monochromatic light is stack of point sources 5 and 6 having respectively green- and red-light wavebands and positioned axis-symmetrically in rows on at least six radii. Sources having green-light waveband are concentrated in center portion of backing and sources having red-light waveband are located along periphery of backing. Each row of point light sources is connected to respective output of multi-channel pulse power unit 12 via reversible pulse distributor 11. Secured to backing 4 is black disc screen 7 (as viewed from source of magnetic field) which has radial slots 8 opposing rows of point green and red waveband light sources. Housing of disclosed device has blackened inner surface. EFFECT: improvement of visual functions in case of amblyopia. 2 dwg
