Abstract
Embodiments for systems, methods and apparatuses of eyewear are disclosed. One method includes treating a patient with shutter glasses therapy for a relatively short period of time, such as at least a 6 week period; wherein the shutter glasses therapy includes blanking a first lens of shutter glasses being worn by the patient for a first blocking time, blanking a second lens of the shutter glasses being worn by the patient for a second blocking time, and controllably setting at least one of the first blocking time and the second blocking time.
Claims21
A method of eye therapy, comprising:
- treating a user with shutter glasses therapy;
- wherein the shutter glasses therapy comprises:
- blanking a first lens of shutter glasses being worn by the user for a first blocking time;
- blanking a second lens of the shutter glasses being worn by the user for a second blocking time;
- and
- controllably setting at least one of the first blocking time and the second blocking time;
- wherein the shutter glasses include:
- a frame that includes a pair of arms forming eyewear that is adaptable to hold one or more lenses;
- and
- a pair of switches, wherein the pair of switches include a first switch and a second switch, wherein each switch of the pair of switches is located at a hinge formed between the frame and a corresponding one of the pair of arms, wherein each switch is open or closed depending upon an angle of the corresponding one of the pair of arms relative to a frontal plane of at least one of the one or more lenses;
- a display;
- and
- a controller, wherein the controller operates to:
- perform a first command when the first switch and the second switch are closed;
- perform a second command when the first switch is open and the second switch is closed;
- perform a third command when the first switch is closed and the second switch is open;
- perform a fourth command with when the first switch is open and the second switch is open;
- wherein a one of the first command, the second command, the third command, or the fourth command is selected to cause the controller to display on the display a first use parameter, and another one of the first command, the second command, the third command, or the fourth command is selected to cause the controller to display on the display a second use parameter.
